We thought we'd line up the squares with the long side of the chicken run and simply bring it over to the other side. What a pain! It seems as though this mesh might have been cut on the diagonal. Eventually with two of us working on it we got it in place. Just decide ahead of time that this netting is going to be a challenge to put in place, and anything less that that will be a plus. Despite the challenge, the net proves to be effective against hawks and owls, and keeps mourning doves and feed-stealing birds out.
