Poultry Netting 1 in or 2 in Mesh Heavy Knotted Net - Long Lasting

Our review of this poultry netting finds it a practical choice for hobby farmers and small commercial keepers who need a robust, long-lived aviary barrier. The single biggest reason to buy is its built-in UV stabilized polyethylene construction, which promises years of continuous outdoor use without the surface degrading; that core material choice and the heavy knotted design deliver strength and predictable performance when used as directed. It is a straightforward net to work with for pens, aviaries, or temporary containment, and the manufacturer guidance on hanging helps preserve mesh shape and strength.

Key Features

• 1 in or 2 in mesh: Provides appropriate spacing to contain chickens and gamefowl while letting air and light through for healthy habitats.
• Heavy knotted construction: The knots and thicker net strands improve burst and break resistance so the net holds up under stress.
• UV stabilized polyethylene: UV protection is integrated into the material rather than a surface coat, reducing degradation over years of sun exposure.
• High break/burst ratings: Rated around 85/245 lb per mesh which helps prevent larger birds or climbing animals from forcing through the net.
• Installation guidance included: Clear hanging instructions and recommended supports every 8 ft make it easier to keep the mesh square and maintain full strength.

Who It's For

This net is aimed at backyard chicken keepers, gamefowl breeders, quail producers and small farm operators who need a durable containment or aviary solution that will last multiple seasons in high UV environments. Its heavier knotted build and integrated UV protection suit outdoor, continuous use rather than short-term or decorative applications.

Those needing a very fine predator-proof mesh for small mammals or requiring a custom commercial specification beyond polyethylene/polypropylene netting should consider specialized predator barriers or welded wire alternatives instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable material and UV stabilization offer long service life in sun-exposed settings.
• Heavy knotted netting feels thick and substantial, matching customer notes about netting quality.
• Installation instructions and recommended support spacing help preserve mesh strength during use.
• Good value for the performance, based on customer comments about durability and cost.

Cons

• Not designed as a full predator-proof solution for small determined mammals without additional reinforcement.
• Returned items may incur a 20% restocking fee, so plan purchases carefully.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The net is a sensible buy for anyone who wants a reliable, long-lasting poultry barrier without frequent replacement; its heavy knotted build and built-in UV stabilization justify the cost for long-term outdoor use. For those needing extreme predator proofing or fine-mesh containment, supplementing with other barriers is recommended, but for general poultry and aviary use this net offers clear value and durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I hang the net?
Attach one short side first, then alternate long sides while keeping the mesh square; use supports every 8 ft and run cable over supports for even tension.

Will the net resist sun damage?
Yes, the UV protection is built into the polyethylene material, not just a surface treatment, so it resists long-term UV degradation.

Are returns accepted?
Returns may be accepted but could be subject to a 20% restocking fee, so confirm sizing and needs before purchase.
