Turning Storage building into Coop--surrounding fence/net suggestions?

If you're making your own and using 5 gallon buckets, I think you'd need 4 buckets because you could only get 4 tubes in each. If you're making them out of a tote, it would depend on the size of the tote, but you could probably put 6-8 tubes in them thereby needing less of them. Not to burst your bubble, but don't expect the yarn to last more than 1 season. It will rot. Great effort though. Fishing line would probably be better to use. That's a wonderful size yard and appropriately sized yard for 30 standard chickens.

If you use clear fishing it might be invisible during certain parts of the day. Also include black fishing line for visibility.

I did consider that the yarn wouldn't last too long. I'm hoping to redo with real netting next spring with the help of some kiddos. They just weren't available when I got my hawk scare and decided to go with the yarn temporarily...so far, so good!
