Hi Daniel.  Might want to check out www.leevalley.com they have commercial fish netting that works wonders on keeping birds out.  If it works try this link http://www.leevalley.com/garden/page.asp?page=10444&category=2,2190,33119&abspage=1&ccurrency=2&SID=

Subject: [NAFEX] netting for blueberry protection

I am living in Virginia Beach, VA. and am planning an arbor with some type of netting to keep the birds out of the blueberries.  The arbor is quit large 20' x 35' and 7' tall. I am wanting to put up some sturdy (year around) netting.  I am not too sure about the right size for netting.  There is a rubber coated chicken wire with a 1" hexagon pattern that would be good for my structure, but the holes look too large.  Any suggestions or experiences about this wire product or alternatives would be appreciated.
