This video shows how I enclosed my entire backyard with 1” x 1” mesh netting in order to create an aviary. The enclosure covers the entire backyard in order to keep my ducks and Temminck’s Tragopan pheasants from flying away. Moreover, it keeps the owls, herons, hawks and other predators out. With the exception of the raccoons, which continue to be a problem.

The following links will direct you to the vendors for some of the tools and materials I used for this aviary project.
