Peckedhen Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 Mine was fruit netting from garden centre. You could have had it but, unfortunately, the mice got to it last winter and chewed it to bits. :-/

Peckedhen Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 Yes, worked fine. Just make sure the holes in the netting are fairly small - I don't know if your friend has garden fantails? Mine are considerably smaller than my pigeons; they easily squeeze through the bars in a nest box.
Guest joshdonlan Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 When will you be needing it for? Im looking to buy some netting to cover louvres etc, but it comes in 50m rolls. Josh
Peckedhen Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 You can buy the bird netting by the linear metre - google fruit netting. Probably not a fine enough mesh for covering louvres Josh. I bought some galvanised mesh from B&Q to cover mine after I read mice can get through a 1/4" gap.
