Chicken Netting for the Backyard Poultry Keeper and the Professional Farmer
McCallum Made is a specialist importer of of electric netting products with the widest range possible. This is because our chicken netting is all imported from Germany and we offer an unrivalled number of product options – everything from “Heavy Duty” netting for the professional free range chicken farmer to lighter grade “Standard” chicken netting for the urban hobby block.
How does poultry netting stop predators?
Poultry netting is made from polyurethane with metal filaments running through the horizontal strands (apart from the bottom baseline). PVC posts come complete as part of the netting kit. To ‘charge’ the poultry netting, connect an energiser to the net and to the ground via an earth stake. This forms an open circuit. When a predator touches the chicken netting, they close the circuit and get an electric shock, which frightens them away as they don’t understand what just happened.
Selected Chicken Netting Products for the Chicken Keeper
Electric Chicken Netting – 50m
We are Australia’s leading specialist importer of chicken netting, offering options tailored to suit personal requirements. We provide three different models of poultry netting, all using the same netting material but differing in post height and thickness. The options include:
- Standard – 110 cm tall posts, 13mm post thickness, 7mm thick double prong.
- Tall – 120 cm tall posts, 13mm post thickness, 7mm double prong.
- Heavy – 120cm tall posts, 19mm post thickness, 8mm double prong.
The heavy-duty poultry netting is ideal for professional poultry businesses or for hard ground where a sturdy post is needed. Click the link below to buy or explore more options.
Electric Poultry Netting – 25m
If you do not need 50m of chicken netting, our 25m roll may be sufficient. This size is perfect for an urban backyard or small holding to protect a flock of about a dozen birds. Like our other netting, the 25m roll is made in Germany, measures 120cm tall, and has a 7mm thick steel prong on the post. Although a heavy-duty post option is unavailable, the 7mm steel post is more than sufficient for most urban environments.
