Coverage & How Much You Need:

One roll covers 25 linear feet at a 48-inch height. For a full pen, size posts about every 3 feet (comparable 4 ft. x 25 ft. rolls are typically installed with 3 five-foot T-posts) and overlap roll ends when joining.

Fit and Compatibility:

Installs on standard 5-ft T-posts or U-posts with fence staples or tie wire; posts and fasteners are sold separately. It complements Garden Craft's 24-inch poultry netting and hardware cloth for complete coop and run builds where a finer 1/4-inch barrier is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

A: One 48 in. x 25 ft. roll of 20-gauge galvanized hex poultry netting; posts and fasteners are not included.

Q: Will it rust outdoors?

Q: Can chickens get through the mesh?

A: Stretch the netting against posts and secure with staples or tie wire every few inches to prevent sagging.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

Pick the 48-inch height when you need a full-size chicken run or to keep taller animals out of garden beds; the 1-inch hex mesh is fine for adult poultry but is not predator-proof on its own, so bury or peg the bottom edge and consider a top rail or hot wire for determined predators. Use 5-ft posts spaced roughly every 3 feet and pull the roll taut as you fasten to avoid sag over the 25-foot span.

Cut wire ends are sharp; wear gloves and eye protection while unrolling, cutting and fastening the netting.
