Verified Reviews for Omlet Chicken Fencing - High Poultry Netting With Door

I bought the 21 metre chicken fencing to add an ‘outdoor’ extension to the secure run mainly to protect the girls from our large ponds and to give them a huge hen garden to play in. It’s been a real game changer, they love playing out time and I can monitor them from the house or inside their space knowing they won’t go wandering where it’s not safe.

Great fencing keeps my girls safe and was so easy to put up Love Omlet products Staff and service amazing would definitely recommend

The fencing system is good quality. It looks good and is easy to handle. The gate works well and it’s solid enough with the pegs and guy ropes. We put the coop in the middle as we did have escapees unclipped wings launching from roof of coop and over the fence when it was close. Very happy with the produce willl probably buy more as an extension.

We had the original fencing that we have had for over ten years and it hD started to look tired, so purchased the new Omlet fencing. Have to say it's brilliant. Easy to assemble and looks great with out new Omlet walk in run.

Very useful for keeping my chickens off the patio!

Excellent product

I purchased this a few weeks ago as I wanted to give my chickens a little more room to roam my garden without destroying all my plants! I have a very unusually shaped garden with a slope in it, but this fence is adaptable and with a little fiddling here and there it worked really well. It took me a little time to assemble it on my own, but once I had figured out how things went it was pretty straightforward. The only reason for not 5 stars, was that I felt the poles are not that strong. I noticed when pushing them in the ground that they flexed a little, and then my daughter pushed my husband who promptly fell against the fence (!!) and snapped one of the poles. I was not happy with either of them, and so now one of my poles is about 10cms shorter than the others! Also, delivery took quite some time, which was a shame, as I was desperate to keep my chickens contained to one area in the garden, and I did email to see if there was any chance they could expedite delivery, but didn't receive any response from my email which was a bit disappointing. However, overall it is a great product, and would definitely recommend it. Just keep boisterous children away from it!

I put most of it up by myself then had help getting it straightened out. Nice product if you don't want something permanent. The chickens have stayed in and not flown out and I feel like they have good protection from outside predators.

We bought this a few weeks ago. It’s well designed and robust and we’re pleased with it. The girls do flap over it though, particularly our girl who is bottom of the pecking order. So you do still have to keep an eye on them

With the avian flu restrictions lifting, I thought I would replace my 12 year old Omlet chicken fence, as it was showing signs of wear. I hadn't realised that I would be getting a new version, and although I need to give it longer to find out its strong points, my first reaction is that it isn't as good. There seems to be a lot more plastic with the Mk2 fence, and the mesh really doesn't look as if it would last for 12 years. My garden slopes in two directions, and isn't at all even - the old fence was perfectly usable under these conditions, the new one less so. The instruction booklet seems to assume that you will be constructing the fence as a rectangle, whereas I wanted to create a single line of fence to divide the garden in two (theirs and mine!) so from this point of view the instructions were difficult to follow as I had to adapt them. I only discovered when I was searching for a video online to help me to understand the instructions that it is possible to buy parts to fix the fencing to a wall or existing garden fence - my other half and I had to use our ingenuity and a few cuphooks! So now that the fence is up, and we have managed not to swear or have an argument while doing it (although at times it was a close run thing) I have to say it does look neat, but I struggle to use the latch on the gate while carrying anything. I also agree with the other reviewer who missed being able to lean over the fence, as you could with the old style. My greenhouse is in the chickens' half of the garden, so I am often carrying seed trays backwards and forwards, and a fiddly gate plus higher fence makes this difficult to manage. I know that we all need to adapt as changes come, but the changes in the design of the fence system make it much less adaptable in my opinion.
