Electric netting: cheapest cost + shipping?

I will cross-post in poultry, also, but where do y'all get the cheapest electric netting? I found it around $120. for a 165' roll, but the shipping was $39.!!

Can I do better??

Sounds about par for the course. Kencove.com is where I have found the best netting/cost deals. We have a lot of netting. Very useful stuff.

premier1 offers free shipping but I think when I compared it to kencove it came out to about the same. I went with premier1 because it seemed to get better reviews on the net by far compared to others.

I got mine from premier1 also. Make sure when comparing the price you are comparing the size of the openings in the fence and the height of fence. One may be cheaper but you may end up with a fence with larger squares or not as tall. Also, make sure the spikes are the same when comparing prices. Premier offers a single spike and a double spike that effects the price as well.

Kencove has only double spikes. I recently looked at their catalog & I think I remember seeing free shipping.

Well, it's a pretty big object, so 39 sounds about right. Try and get it Parcel post.

I got mine from Kencove. As a note of caution...I lost a full grown turkey drake. He got caught in the net over night and it killed him. One hen learned how to pick up the net and scoot under.
