Choosing the right netting is essential for protecting pheasants from predators while still allowing airflow and access. The nets highlighted here are UV-resistant, rugged, and designed to hold up under outdoor conditions. Each option features a heavy-duty 2-inch or 1-inch mesh that reduces the risk of pecking, pinching, or escape. The selections below are popular among American poultry keepers for pens, aviaries, and large coops, offering long-lasting performance and straightforward installation.

Stromberg’s 2” Mesh Heavy Duty Aviary Netting, 25′ x 50′
This heavy-duty netting uses a high-density polyethylene fiber with UV resistance to extend field life. It has an 85 lb break strength, suitable for pheasants, poultry, and larger birds, and resists weathering. The 2″ mesh helps prevent peepers and pins from getting caught while reducing cannibalism risks among birds. Ideal for medium to large pens that face outdoor exposure.
Stromberg’s 2” Mesh Heavy Duty Aviary Netting, 25′ x 100′
This variant shares the same heavy-duty construction and 85 lb break strength as other Stromberg’s netting. The extended length provides coverage for larger enclosures or multiple pens, while the 2″ mesh format helps keep peepers out and prevents damage from weather-driven wear. It’s designed to endure several field seasons with proper maintenance.
Stromberg’s 1″ Knotted Netting, 25′ x 25′
With a smaller mesh, this 1″ knotted netting delivers enhanced predator protection for smaller openings while maintaining broad coverage for coop and enclosure tops. The UV-resistant polyethylene material guarantees a long service life, and the netting accommodates various coop sizes. Availability in multiple dimensions supports scalable pen designs.
Stromberg’s 2” Mesh Heavy Duty Aviary Netting, 25′ x 25′
This compact option mirrors the sturdiness of Stromberg’s other aviary nets, featuring the same break strength and UV resistance. It’s well-suited for small to medium runs or poults-in-progress setups where a lighter footprint is preferred. The 2″ mesh minimizes escape routes while shielding birds from overhead and lateral threats.
Buying Guide
Key considerations when selecting pheasant-pen netting include material durability, mesh size, and overall enclosure design. UV resistance extends life in sunny climates and reduces brittleness after repeated exposure to rain and snow. A 2″ mesh is a common balance, preventing peepers and pins from escaping or becoming entangled while allowing airflow and visibility. If you raise smaller game birds in adjacent spaces, a 1″ mesh option can provide enhanced predator protection for openings that require tighter containment.
Durability matters: look for high-density polyethylene fibers and reinforced knotting. Break strength ratings around 85 lbs are typical for game-bird applications and indicate good resistance to tearing under normal animal movement and weather conditions. For larger pens, longer netting runs (such as 25′ x 100′) simplify installation and reduce the number of joints, which can be weak points over time.
Installation and maintenance are practical concerns. Choose nets with easy-to-secure edge bindings or integrated fastening options to reduce installation time. Regular inspections for frayed edges, UV degradation, and any signs of bird damage help prevent breaches. Finally, consider how the netting will integrate with other pen components, including gates, supports, and shade structures, to maintain a safe, humane environment for pheasants and other birds.
