- Will this keep squirrels and rabbits out?
- The woven mesh is heavier than typical bird netting and the maker says it resists tearing by squirrels and small rodents. The 1/2 inch openings also deter rabbits and other small animals. It is a barrier, not a trap, so it must be secured at the edges.
- Can I water through it?
- Yes. The half-inch mesh lets water and light pass, so you can water plants without removing the net. Check that the net is not pressed tight against foliage.
- Does it come with stakes or ties?
- No. The netting is sold as the sheet only, so plan on poles, stakes or ties to hold it off the plants.
- Can I cut it to fit?
- Yes. The netting can be cut to any size you need. Cut edges should be secured so they do not unravel or snag.
- Is it strong enough for a chicken run?
- The maker lists it as suitable for chicken coop and poultry cover netting against hawk attacks. It is a light barrier, not a rigid roof, so support it over the run.
- How is it different from cheap bird netting?
- It weighs about 1 oz/m² versus roughly 0.2–0.3 oz/ft² for common lightweight nets, so it is thicker, more tear-resistant and reusable. The trade-off is more weight and stiffness when hanging.
