I am looking for netting to keep my free range chickens off the patio and out of my raised garden beds.....I am wondering if this can be stretched across half my yard....from end of house to end of surrounding brick wall.....for the purpose of keeping...

How aggressively will the chickens pick at the netting. It's thin plastic mesh - about 1/32" thick. It seems to survive wind and weather very well. You'd have to tack or weight the lower edge down or they could go under it. It's very light.

I covered my chicken run with this netting. I have owls, hawks, fox, raccoons and neighborhood dogs nearby and so far nothing can get to them. The net covers a 15'x15' run and hangs down to the ground on a 5 ft fence. I am completely satisfied with this netting.

Yes, you will need to provide some sort of barrier to contain it. It does not have to be a full fence. I have used small stone pavers and 1 foot high garden fencing. Also it will turn around if it hits pavement or a walkway so you can use those features of your yard to contain it's wandering.

No. Try this search. I would use deer netting. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=deer+netting

It's big enough, but not worth the money, dose not hold up in weather, you can fence off a section of your chicken yard just for chicks, that way they are safe from big chickens and they are still with the group.

I'm not quite sure of the specific intent but from what I can gather the netting wouldn't be damaged by the sun if that is what you mean. If the intent is to try to cover someone or something with the hopes of blocking the suns rays it definitely will not prevent a sunburn or shield a pet, infant or child from the sun.

Unfortunately, it will not be strong enough because the purpose of the netting is really to prevent birds from perching or occupying an area. The net isn't strong enough to withstand a baseball pitch and will likely wear and tear away even if its temporary. I'm a Pest Control Applicator and would not recommend buying this item for that purpose.

Yes, I believe you can keep the chickens and birds and ??? out with this netting. We had no birds no squirrels in our grapes with the netting on. If any problem could appear it might be that the chickens could get stuck in the netting. Check your net dimensions and determine how many rolls you will need. This netting, while being very thin, is very strong. After using it this past season, we rolled it up and have a tear free netting for use next year. Remember this is lots of square feet and to have two or more people to apply it will be to your advantage.

I have mine covering a 16 x 25 foot chicken enclosure and have had no problems. It is pretty strong and should keep them out.

It is possible, however I wouldn't recommend it. The bird could destroy the netting pretty quickly.

Assuming you don't have to walk around it often to get to other areas of the yard one to two feet around the netting should be sufficient. The netting is not taught so a good bounce into it with any structures or obstacles too close could result in an injury.

That's a great idea and this net would work perfect for that project. It's sturdy enough. Only suggestion it to buy the net a tad larger than the area you need to cover. Net sizes seem to run a little small.

Possibly. But it would be unlikely they would like that idea as much as dogs like to "pick a spot" and this would very small for any such luxury! Lol. I would think a better option would be an area with bird netting. There are lots of options for that. I have some baby turkeys under some now and it was simpler than putting this together and looks pretty good.

Yes, that is what I used it for when I bought it. Make sure you wait until it is warm enough to sow outside. I jumped the gun too quick last year !!

I would not use it as mosquito netting outdoors. The package says mosquito netting and that it keeps them out but there are a lot of open spaces and some other reviews said it doesn't work that way. It seems purely decorative in my opinion.

This fence is designed for flowering plants -- and borders in garden -- certainly will not keep a turtle in a pond -- openings are too large -- sorry but I would look for another boundary.

No. I also have chickens and ended up building them a coop. Unless you have a cover on the top (not the tarp A frame that is optional ((I have that as well)) you will see that predators can access them. Even if that was covered, the links are too wide and they can burrow underneath. While this is perfect for the small amount of time that my dogs are there, I would not recommend using this frame and chicken wire. Other than that, my only complaint was the unwinding of the chain link, which can catch on itself and make the task very annoying. Overall people come to my house and are very impressed with the product for the price. Good Luck
