Can someone explain the best way to put up bird netting on hedgerows please?

[hazzygawa]

The netting we have, says it's 4m wide but we are struggeling with it as we have to stretch it and pin.

What's the best method ???

At a guess lay some 4m long sticks every 15ft or so, un roll your netting over them down the length of the hedge,staple/tie the netting to stick then stand them up.

Can you tell me what the purpose is ?

I've oftem wondered

[waz77]

Usually to stop birds nesting if there's work planned on the hedge

A lot of it look a right mess

I've been looking at newt fencing/sheets too ........that seems a bit of a waste of time

The hedge is 2.5-3m tall

The netting comes 1mx100m and that 1m expands to 4m when stretched. The problem we have is the stretching over the thorn hedge and the wire pegs keep pulling out of the ground. It is a pita.

Hmmm, can you 'layer' the hedge first maybe

 

Think I'll leave this thread now and return to my nice, warm office.
