the scaffold netting is similar , but not rain proof , why not ask them to send you a sample (explain your looking to buy a lot) then trawl around the garden centres and d.i.y. stores to see if you can find the same ??

i have the proper stuff and the scaffold netting and it to similar in my eyes to be priced diffrent but none of them actually stop the rain

I have to agree with that. They've both got bleedin holes in them, so water will get through both. I've got the 'dear' contratex stuff - so I know from bitter experience

 

Yes, it'll cut out the wind, but it cuts the light at the same time.

Thanks for your replies appreciated,why i was asking have repositioned a stock loft and was going to add a type of aviary that i have designed the idea being that it will have a solid floor polycarbonate roof and solid sides,the front would have 1/2 square mesh covered with the wind break,they can then have access 24-7 with plenty of fresh air but no rain getting in ,from reading the replies i now intend to design the front so that any water penetrating the netting will run to the outside and not enter the loft ,the scaffolding netting will do fine now as one of the main reasons for also covering the front is there will be no need to close of the stock when the widowhood pigeons are at exercise.When i'm fit will now transfer the idea in my head into reality.
