Stromberg’s 2″ Mesh Heavy Duty Knotted Aviary Netting – 25′ x 50′
Heavy-duty netting with an 85-pound break strength, designed to handle pheasants, chickens, ducks, and larger game birds. The UV-resistant polyethylene fiber promises long life in outdoor conditions and weather exposure. This model uses a 2″ knotted mesh to accommodate larger birds while preventing peepers and pins from becoming entangled. It helps minimize cannibalism and pecking among flock members by providing a sturdy barrier without being overly tight.
Stromberg’s 2″ Mesh Heavy Duty Knotted Aviary Netting – 25′ x 100′
This larger variant shares the same core construction: a heavy-duty 85 lb break strength, UV-resistant polyethylene, and a durable 2″ knotted mesh. Built for extended pens, this size expands coverage without sacrificing strength. Ideal for game birds that roam larger aviary areas, it remains predator-resistant while offering ample airflow and visibility for daily checks.
Stromberg’s 1″ Knotted Netting – 25′ x 25′
Predator-proof protection with 1″ knotted mesh supports safe confinement for game birds and protects against larger predators. The netting is UV-resistant and designed to endure 7-10 years in field conditions. Available in several dimensions, it lets you tailor coverage to coops of varying sizes while maintaining strong structural integrity and bird safety.
Stromberg’s 2” Mesh Heavy Duty Knotted Aviary Netting – 25′ x 25′
This compact option preserves the same heavy-duty attributes: 85 lb break strength, UV-resistant polyethylene, and a 2″ knotted mesh that deters peeping birds and reduces pecking. It is well suited for smaller pens or zones within larger enclosures, offering dependable protection without overcrowding or limiting airflow.
Buying Guide
Key considerations when selecting netting for pheasant pens include mesh size, break strength, material durability, UV resistance, and intended pen dimensions. A larger mesh (2″) provides good ventilation and less risk of entanglement for pheasants, while still offering predator deterrence. For smaller coops or higher-security needs, 1″ knotted netting adds extra protection against smaller predators and pecking tendencies.
Material quality matters. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) with UV stabilization extends the life of netting in sun exposure and seasonal weather changes. Expect a field-life of 7-10 years for durable options, which reduces replacement frequency and total cost of ownership.
Installation considerations include ease of handling, knot type, and tension requirements. Knotted mesh tends to be stronger and more resistant to sagging over time, which helps maintain a stable barrier around feeders and roost areas. For larger pens, pairing multiple nets or choosing wide panels minimizes seams that birds can exploit.
Safety and maintenance are also critical. Avoid netting with overly tight mesh that can trap feet or wings. Regular inspections for UV wear, tears, or loose knots help prevent breaches that predators could exploit.
When comparing options, align the netting size with your birds’ size and behavior. For pheasants, a 2″ mesh is often a practical compromise between protection and airflow, while 1″ mesh may be preferred in habitats with more foot traffic or higher predator activity. Budget considerations should account for both initial purchase and expected lifespan, as longer-lasting netting reduces ongoing replacement costs.
Finally, always confirm that the chosen netting is certified for outdoor use and designed to withstand local weather patterns, including wind, rain, snow, and temperature fluctuations. This ensures reliable performance across seasons and minimizes maintenance intervals.
