While we love fresh persimmons, we never seem to be able to harvest any as the crows seem to know exactly when to begin harvesting for themselves and the pesky wild parrots in our area don't seem to care if they're ripe or not, they'll simply devour them once they reach a decent size.This year, however, we netted the tree and relocated the invasive red squirrels in around our house, so should be able to finally have a decent harvest this year.This net is very nice, albeit not extremely thick or heavy. I'm sure the parrots would easily chomp through it, but so far, they're avoiding it in fear of becoming tangled.This is a nice product and should work perfect for our requirements. When it comes time to remove, I'll have to be very careful so we can use this next season but I believe the netting will be strong enough.For the application of the netting, I will be constructing a large U-shaped pole configeration using PVC pipe and also build a rounded, domed aluminum dish on a pole to help lift and move the net.

I use it to protect my chickens from the flyby predators using our neighborhood as the local McDonald's. Haven't lost a chick. Haven't lost a chicken. The Hawks, eagles, and turkey vultures don't bother approaching as it distorts their view and they can't explain it. I've put shiny things on the net to detract even more. Simple Mylar strips from a decorative door curtain from the dollar store makes great streamers of shiny deterrent. The streamers save you from accidentally trapping too many small flighted birds. However, to free them, it's very easy. You cut a hole the net stays the bird is free. Going on year two! I will buy this net every time. Product and value are very well met!

I thought about making it a 4 star review because of the thinness of the nets, but in most applications not directly on berry bushes but these nets do their job and are a 5 star value compared to similar weaker nonwoven plastic nets. This is strong (but thin) woven nylon netting. The netting was well packaged with a cloth bag plus (10) plastic push stakes and a bag of plastic wire ties. (Neither of which I used). This netting is strong but also wire thin and not a good idea to put directly on berry bushes as it easily catches leaves, berries and branches. It's much better for an enclosure. I have an enclosure for my other berries, but for these two outlier bushes, I built standoff tees to keep nets right off the bushes, but I still stripped a couple of pounds of berries off the bushes installing. You get about 100% light transmission with these nets because of their thin weave, (which is not really neccessary for blueberries). I'm hoping they're cat proof too, for the errant bird that finds it s way under the nets. Cats easily rip up the cheap spun plastic nets going after trapped birds. I bury all edges and stake every few feet with 6" sod pins. Cat birds will charge the edges of the nets looking for a weak spot they can get under so better to cover exposed edges with soil or mulch, but this is a problem universal to all netting materials.

I bought this to go over my chicken run to protect them from predators. We live in northern Canada where it snows a lot and gets very cold. I ended up keeping it up all winter and there is very minimal damage. It is over all sharp corners of the coop and fence and it hasnt ripped in any of those areas. Very impressed with this so far. Sizing is also correct.

So I have converted my pool into a koi pond. The koi are thriving and breeding but predators are an issue. I have been abke to keep all of them away with numerous methods from decoys I have imitation floating alligators I have all kinds of dangling Chimes and flashy things around the pool that work had to distract most animals from coming but my latest and greatest foe is a blue heron incredibly smart and also incredibly persistent and he's gotten a few of my koi so I have a small portion of square-shaped netting that I was able to cover a portion of the shallow end but I just wanted to cover the entire pool because I don't want there to be any possibility of me losing any more I've got hundreds in there and my biggest breeders are very valuable over 2 ft long at this point ...so I ordered this neting and it is nearly impossible to pull over my kidney bean shaped , nothing straight pool .As I pull it to get across the pool it .shortens the length of the opposite side and if you don't have it exactly pulled evenly every direction the dimensions change dramatically. I have volcanic rock all along the back of the pool and it is different heights and shapes as well so having to pull it over these sticks to them like crazy and it just completely screws up the dimensions and now I have messed with it for over 3 hours and I am so fed up I'm going to order some plaatic or or polyurethane based Square cut poultry cover like I had before that I was able to do by myself no problem whatsoever. I even had my daughter trying to help me with this crap and it's not working whatsoever and I even brought it to the street to try to square it off and staple it to straight boards and it still is a mess. On top of that I can tell that the make of this stuff if it were to dip into the water it would be like Gill netting and hook onto the fish's gills and more than likely kill them so saying this is good option for a protective pond netting it's a drastic mistake. FYI I owned and operated a hardwood flooring business for over 20 years and have been involved in everything you can imagine to do with construction for years .. also currently have 15 aquariums running and have had multiple and I have been obsessively involved in fish keeping my entire life so this is not a rookie thing ...stuff is just not not a good option

You name it, it gets caught in it. We used the net to enclose our catio. Installed in July and have had to fix many holes with tie straps. This is something you don’t want to have end up in landfills. Terrible for the environment and wild life. Find another solution

All said and done, I would buy this again. The part that tested our patience was that it was cut very uneven, and it’s super light weight and is like a big spider web, it practically tangles from just looking at it. :p but its doing its job and the price is great.

I was so focused on the overall size of the net I didn’t see how big the squares are. This net won’t stop small birds at all. I returned this net
