Without sounding like a tightwad *cough*..is there any reason that good old net curtain wouldn't be just as good as enviromesh? I have some EM, but really is very expensive and I just cut it too short for my new raised beds (doh!).

Hmmm, well I do think 25 chickens in a terrace backgarden is taking the P*** and I don't think I would like to live next door to the enclosure in the height of summer!
