You wouldn't want to keep poultry netting in place long term. Vegetation will grow into the fence, causing electrical discharge. You'd have to move it. Trying to trim under it would result in accidents. I tried mine as a garden fence before I got chickens. Bad idea.I can imagine moving the fence itself just fine. To be clear, I meant to depict not just the electrified fence netting, but an attached net overhead (attached to top with removable zip ties, which I read someone else did, likely for a permanent set up). It was a notion that came to me as the only real security, but it doesn't seem practical to move. If anyone can imagine doing it, maybe with my 3 other family members to help, let me know. Obviously some kind of center pole would come with it. Does that even seem feasible?
I think it's either mobile or covered. Or a tractor with net for next best thing to free range time.
Anecdotally, I've been fine on the predator front despite frequent flyover by golden eagles and the occasional hawk. I think I owe the local crows a thank you.
