Cheap Netting?

Don't make the mistake I did, of getting it from Poundland. Some of their stuff is good, but the netting is unbelievably rubbish!!Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These
(he points to some plastic cows on the table) are very small; those (pointing at some cows out of the window) are far away...

Odd, rosie383... I must be less fussy. Maybe more of a skinflint...
I've got several of the Poundland/99p stores netting (seems to be the same stuff; comes in a box, 6metres X 4 metres), and haven't had any problems with it.... And.... it's EVEN CHEAPER than Wilkinsons!:D 0 -
try and get some debris netting from a scaffold company - when they take down a job
saving money by growing my own - much of which gets drunk
made loads last year :beer:0 -

or go on ebay and buy some NEW scaffold netting
the only downside to used netting is it has anything stuck in it, a customer of mine purchased some from some scaffolders, it had bits of soffit board stuck to it, now this soffit board was asbestos

Ok, not near a poundshop and not near any scaffolding. LOL ! I will try ebay. Ta x0

What do you want it for? Some of the peeps have been using fleece to keep birds off and they think it's better. I intend to try net curtains - seriously. I'm fed up of plants getting stuck in the netting and inadvertently tearing off leaves. Plus, when you take it off at the end of the season it's impossible to roll up to use again so you just end up buying some more.
Anyone got any other suggestions?0 -
Its to keep the bloody sparrows out of my hen run - there's hundreds of them and they bringing their families for free dinner lol0
