To achieve a stronger and more secure fence, set your posts in concrete by digging a 50cm hole and pouring cement for the post to rest in.

Step 7 – Install Middle Posts

To install middle posts, replicate steps 3-5.

 

 

Ensure that the posts are facing in the same direction and are installed both straight and at the same height.

 

 

You can also secure the middle posts with concrete for added strength.

Step 8 – Install Tension Wire (Optional)

When working with light weight mesh, you may want to attach a tension wire between the end posts to prevent any sagging.

 

 

Wrap the tension wire around the hole of the end posts and secure it by twisting the wire’s end with a plier.

Step 9 – Secure Mesh to End Post

T post step 9 - mesh

 

Secure the mesh to the end post by using cable ties, which can be threaded through the pre-drilled holes in the post.

 

 

You can add more cable ties by enclosing the entire post.

Step 10 – Pull Taut

Pull the mesh taut and then secure it to the second post using cable ties. Make sure not to pull too tightly.

 

Repeat this process until you reach the end post.

Step 11 – Secure to Tension Wire (Optional)

FAQ’s

How do I set up a poultry fence?

These products are very simple to set up when you know how. All of our fences come with full instructions to guide you through the process. Be sure to read these to provide your poultry with the maximum level of protection.

Are poultry fences electrified?

Yes they are. This gives your poultry an extra level of protection from common predators like foxes, as well as preventing them from escaping and running away.

How tall are bird nets and fences?

We have a range of products which come in a variety of lengths, widths, and heights, ensuring you can get the fence that is right to keep your birds out of harm’s way.

Can nets and fences for birds be used to keep out rabbits?

Our fences and nets, although designed to protect poultry, can provide a good level of protection from any animals attempting to get into the fenced area.

How can I prevent foxes from digging under a fence?

We recommend checking out our range of welded mesh, which can be used to line the ground, making it difficult to dig. This can line a coop, enclosure, or other space to prevent any animal tunnelling in or out. Foxes can chew through chicken wire, so this is not strong enough to do the job.
