Chicken Mesh

[Feather]

Thanks Feather.

Unfortunately I can't find any mention of green on their web page, so I'll give them a call.

Fortunately my dad is a farmer and fencer, so he normally provides me with the stuff he uses which is luckily top quality, albeit silver. I'm going to be making my ladies a much larger run and thought green would stand out less - but dad's never come across it. My present run, which was only meant to be their holiday home has wire all around, under, over (even though it then has plastic sheeting on top of it!) and under it - I wanted to make sure it was as secure as poss!

Thanks for you help,
Anna

Well, brilliant, go for the silver if it's available, it's just as good. If you feel it stand out a bit in the garden, you might consider getting some 1.5 metre high rolls of reed mesh from a garden centre and fixing them round the mesh on the outside on some of the more exposed sides - it acts as a bit of a windbreak, lets filtered sunlight through, and gives a sort of Japanese look to the sides.
(Edit; ) Quick Google, i found this http://www.4wire.co.uk/green-wire-me...igh-p-226.html in green 1/2''. I don't think this was where i bought ours but it looks similar. If you wanted green you could ring them and discuss the strength and thickness etc. I think ours was 19, it's very strong.
