Not great for the price...
Charlie, WEST YORKSHIRE,
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.

Omlet response:
Hi Charlie! Thank you for leaving us a review. I'm sorry to hear that you weren't entirely satisfied with your purchase. Unfortunately we can't guarantee that your chickens won't be able to fly over the fencing, especially without clipped wings as each individual chickens flight capabilities vary. In regards to fencing sagging, please do feel free to contact our customer service team and we would be happy to send out some extra guy ropes/poles if necessary.
Easy to use!
Chris,
Such an easy way to move chickens around. Our flock is much happier for the Omlet fencing.

Does what I need it to
Christine,
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.

Not up to the job
Helen,
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!!

Omlet response:
Chickens like humans are all unique, some have better aerodynamic capabilities than their peers and might be able to fly over even with their wings clipped, this however isn't very common. They are still very young right now and will get heavier with age, this should slow them down for any jumping ventures they have planned for in the future!!
Great flexible fencing
Sian,
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.

Super flimsy, sags in the centre of each side
Alisa,
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.

Omlet response:
Hi Alisa, thank you for leaving us a review. The bend should definitely straighten out if you give it a little more time! In regards to the flimsiness you're experiencing in the middle of each side, perhaps adding some more guy ropes would stabilise this for you? Please feel free to contact our customer service team and explain the issues you are experiencing.

Susan,
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

Brilliant fencing !
Jane,
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.
