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

I bought this product based on how much we love their hanging peck toys and the really good reviews I’ve read on chicken websites. This product really works and very easy to install. The chickens were ruining our yard and needed a temporary fence to contain them but still let them forage. It’s easy enough to install so that we can move the fence quickly. The gate is surprisingly easy to use yet the clips holding it closed feels secure. Since we bought fencing longer than we initially need We’ve purchased another gate kit to fence a second area. I like that the fencing is black which makes it blend into the background.

I am usually over the moon with Omlet products and have spent thousands so far on my chickens and rabbits with Omlet stuff... So I'm sad to say that I really wasn't satisfied with this particular product :( I could have made something very similar myself, for a lot cheaper, however the ease of Omlets stuff usually, led me to believe this would be a quick and easy thing to put up. In fairness, I didn't read too much into the set-up before purchase, but for the price I had presumed that things like the poles would come read-made - I broke my nails trying to press the metal buttons in putting the poles together. The fact that it comes folded also made putting it up, more challenging as the crease just made things a whole lot harder. My ground isn't flat either and I wasn't going in a full square/circle which meant that I could have done with extra poles than provided. I think if you're doing it on a flat ground in a full square like they have pictured it, then it would be fine, but disappointing if you have any other shape/land type. Also, when it was up it sagged in-between the posts but I believe this to be because of the irregular shape (not stated in the product description this would be an issue). Most importantly though, it didn't actually keep my chickens in, they flew over within 5 minutes! I won't be clipping their wings as there are things within the enclosure that require them to fly up to for enrichment (not near the fence so not the issue regarding escaping). I would have justified the cost if the poles came ready to use otherwise I think the price point is too high.

Such an easy way to move chickens around. Our flock is much happier for the Omlet fencing.

I ordered this in the fall. Setup is a lot easier than dealing with chicken wire, though it still takes a good chunk of time and cussing. I've not had any of my chickens fly over it and they enjoy having a much larger area to run around in. You can just barely see it from a distance, so it's not an eyesore either. My original fence did get some holes in it after we had over a foot of snow (customer service said it was possible the snow made it brittle which made it easier for rabbits to chew through, seems reasonable enough!). Customer service was friendly and they sent me more fencing. I think it will be good until next winter, at which point I'll probably look into snowproofing it somehow or getting something else to put up.

Very happy with fencing. Easy to put up and it looks great . The door is handy and we can move the fencing if we want. No escapees now.

My 17 week old chickens flapped over this easily. I clipped their wings, using the omlet video as my guide, and it still isn’t high enough. A waste of money!!

Setting up the fence to start with was alot of trial and error - the instuctions weren''t 100% accurate and the size of the posts and the mess dont line up well but once installed its great, easy to move and sturdy.

I bought this a couple of months ago. The netting comes folded in half in a big roll. The instructions say that the bend will straighten out eventually but it hasn't so far and it sags in the middle of each side. The ropes help somewhat but not as much as I had hoped. I am already looking for an alternative, a regretful purchase unfortunately.

We’ve had the fencing about 1 month now and very pleased with it. It was easy to assemble and looks so much smarter than our efforts before. We haven’t had and escapees since putting it up

Light sturdy and easy to erect and move. The spike and foot bar on the bottom of the poles make it so simple to place them in the ground.
