Title: New Flight Pen
Post by: AA Plantation on May 26, 2007, 03:20:14 PM

Building a new flight pen already have a cage that was built for something else 20 years ago

It is 125ft long 20ft wide and 15ft Tall
Going to cover it with Shade Netting and add a covered place at either end so the birds can get out of the rain

Finnally got it done. Wrapped it in shade netting, and made 2 big doors on each end. so i can get a tractor or back-hoe in there to clean it out

Now that is pretty sweet!    Very nice, you are an inspiration.    A man with the means so to speak!

Great Job Dale, the shade netting is a great idea.  We are getting ready to build two others about that size.  I may steal the shade netting idea for the next ones instead of the top flight netting.  I like it. :laugh:

Check out farmtek. they had the best price on the netting and since i ordered allot the shipping was free.
I ordered 3 pieces
130' x 25
(2) 130 x 10
If i had to do it again i would opt for 1 piece. 130x 45.
No matter how many pieces or just one big bulky one it will still take some help to get it up and stretched across.
