Installation Instructions for Poultry Netting
Poultry netting is composed of a 1” hexagonal mesh weave. This fencing is often used to
confine and protect poultry, rabbits, and other small animals. Poultry netting can also be used
for plant protection and support purposes, as well as for home crafts.
Tools Recommended: Gloves, Rubber Mallet, Side Cutters, Flathead Screwdriver
For light duty or temporary fencing projects, U-Posts are an ideal product. They are designed with tabs to
make installation of Poultry Netting fences easy. Ensure that the U-Post selected is at least 1’ taller than
your selected Poultry Netting. For example, if using 36” tall Poultry Netting, select a 48” tall U-Post. Each
U-Post is manufactured with an anchor plate welded toward the bottom to prevent the post from freely
moving once installed in the ground. The number of U-Posts needed depends on the length of Poultry
Netting selected.
1. Before starting, ensure the space in which you are installing your poultry netting
does not have any underground wires or pipe so as to avoid damaging them when
installing the U-Posts.
2. Measure your desired fence perimeter. Ensure that it is less than or equal to the
total length of your selected Poultry Netting. The perimeter may be a straight line.
It may also be an enclosed area like a rectangle, square, or circle.
3. Install your first U-Post at the one end of the fence perimeter. U-Posts should be
pounded in with a rubberized mallet. Be sure to install U-Posts with the tabs facing in
the same direction (see picture to the right) and facing outward from the perimeter area.
They will install about 12 inches into the ground such that the anchor plate is below the dirt
or grass line.
4. Allow for plenty of post to remain to install the fence. The U-Post may stick up slightly higher
than the Poultry Netting.
5. Install a second post at the other end of the fence perimeter. If you are creating an enclosed fence
area, install a U-post at the location of each corner or bend in the fence.
6. Depending on the total length of your desired fence, install additional U-Posts at 5
to 7 foot intervals. Having your U-Posts at uniform intervals will make for a neater
looking fence.
7. Once the U-Posts are installed, at a total distance not to exceed the length of your
selected Poultry Netting, you are ready to install your Poultry Netting on the U-
Posts.
8. Unwind the Poultry Netting on the ground.
9. Starting at the first U-Post, hook the Poultry Netting onto the U-Post
tabs. You may need to bend the U-Post tabs out slightly using a
flathead screwdriver. Ensure that your Poultry Netting touches the
grass.
10. Continue along your fence perimeter hooking the Poultry Netting to each
consecutive U-Post. If your perimeter has corners, carefully bend the Poultry
Netting around the U-Post at the corner.
11. Continue until the fence is in place and hooked onto each U-Post.
12. If your final fence design is less than the length of your selected
Poultry Netting, you can carefully use a side cutter to cut your fence
to size. Use caution as this can leave sharp ends on your fence.
Bending these cut ends over can mitigate this potential problem.
