You’re more than welcome

It will make things so much easier for protecting my chickens. How did you install yours?

With a lot of cussing! It tangles easily, but it’s worth it. I used these metal tie strip things.

I wasn’t done typing I don’t know why it posted. Anyway, I used those tie strips to connect to the fencing of my yard. But the netting is so pliable if you have trees or tall brush you can connect it to that.

Do you think a staple gun would work well for securing the netting?

Oh and I looked at YouTube videos to give me some ideas.

Did you have any posts in the middle of your fenced in area to keep the netting more elevated?

No I don’t. I have large tree canopies and my hubby attached the netting to the branches. It made like a tent/dome. But I have seen videos ppl uses middle posts to hold it up.

I can send you pictures of mine in the morning, if you’d like, just to give you some idea.

Yes, if you’ve got the boards to staple it into. I asked my husband to confirm lol. That’s what we wanted to do, but with our setup, with so many trees it wasn’t feasible. I mean we’d have to cut down some trees to add the boards to the fencing.

We plan on building around the trees. Though it wouldn't hurt for us to cut some down because most of them are dead because there used to be goats in the area we are closing in.
