Bird-XPE-Plus Premium Bird Net, Ideal for Gardens and Commerical Applications, Durable Polyethylene Mesh Netting, 3/4" Hole Openings, 25' x 50', Black, NET-PE-25-50

I had purchased an identical product from another vendor that specializes in bird netting. This product is identical and the cost was nearly 35% less. That doesn't include the Amazon Prime free shipping. This netting is pretty strong and appears rugged enough. I use it to block the barn doors in order to keep the birds out. They make a horrible mess. I ran a polypropylene rope along the perimeter of the netting and installed it on the doors. You can hardly see it and it allows the air flow to come through unrestricted.I had bought the previous netting from Bird B Gone and it was cut to length. When stretched it did not measure out to the proper size. The product comes shrunk and has to be stretched. I believe my previous order from Bird B Gone wasn't cut properly or it isn't shrunk evenly so when it is cut it may not be a square end. Both ends went to a point leaving me with less useable material. Of course they blamed me for not stretching it properly. Huh? The salesman said they get lots of complaints like this but they don't do anything about it.I haven't used this netting yet but I think the 25 x 25 piece will stretch out evenly since it is a factory cut. We shall see.

Don’t waste your time with the cheap, gossamer netting that sells for about $30. That stuff is impossible to handle. THIS is the right netting to cover a fruit tree. It is very strong, relatively easy to handle, and doesn’t snag too badly. As others have stated, you MUST stretch it out into a square when you unpack it. My geometry-challenged wife did not appreciate the difference between a parallelogram and a square... So we deployed it nearly unstretched and needless to say it did not cover our 12-foot cherry tree. Epic fail, start over.Give yourself plenty of room, get help (four people would be ideal) or at least some big bricks to hold down the corners while stretching. The corners are marked with nice red tabs, making them easy to find. We then successfully launched it over the tree, using 10-foot lengths of metal conduit to hold one edge way up in the air, and sort of walked it over the tree. Not too much of a struggle. Then gather it up and tie it around the base of the trunk. Be sure to close it off 100%. We missed a couple of openings and sure enough it turned into an aviary for robins and mocking birds! A real pain to shoo them out. Seal it up good, folks.

I was disappointed by this product. While the actual netting is of fantastic quality, it was not rectangular. The width was 25 feet, but after 35 feet the ends come to a point. Looks like a stretched out hexagon. I would expect that if I was paying this much for netting, I should get 1250 square feet instead of 800 square feet and a triangle on the ends.

My order was dispatched in 3 parts and it took more than a month to deliver internationally. Product looks good & installation was easy ,but not sure how long it will last .

Works great in my chicken run for keeping the hawks out

Used the net to block barn swallows which have been multiplying every year in number... finally had to find a solution to the huge amount of bird mess.... Took me 3 days to hang the net at a working height of 15' and 25', and I seriously recommend the net clips as one will hold the weight. I used a clip on every rafter, and at 4' intervals along the rafter. these things are invaluable. Staples are useless by comparison.Be warned the net might not be rectangular. Make sure you lay it out and work out its nuances. Once I worked that out, was easy to hang. Just worked down one long edge hanging all the way, then moved in four feet for another row. It tensions out nice, quality is excellent. Finished job can hardly be seen.

Our 1st adventure into chickens. They had a great area 20'x65' but...dog on ravens were getting all the eggs. Purchased this netting for roofing. Not easy to "unravel" and straighten. But once we got the hang of it CHICKENS are living a carefree life and we are enjoying eggs.

Used this to cover our koi pond, great blue Heron was snacking on our fish. Have not lost a fish after hanging this net over our pond.
