At Collins Nets, we are a leading stockist of Jumbo Release Pen Netting, providing a strong, lightweight and easy-to-install solution for building effective game bird release pens and deer fencing systems. Designed for durability and long-term outdoor use, this plastic mesh netting offers excellent strength without the risk of rust, making it a practical and cost-effective choice for gamekeepers and land managers.
We select our jumbo mesh netting for its high strength, flexibility and ease of handling. Whether you are constructing a new release pen or upgrading an existing enclosure, this netting delivers reliable performance while being quick to erect and simple to maintain.
Gamekeepers commonly use a combination of wire netting at the base and jumbo plastic netting above to construct release pens. This creates an overall fence height of around 7ft, helping to contain birds while preventing vermin from entering at ground level.
Jumbo Release Pen Netting (also called Heavy Game Net) is a durable, UV-stabilised plastic mesh, typically weighing 80 g/m² with ~50 mm (2″) mesh openings. It’s significantly lighter, easier to handle, and less visible than galvanised wire, yet exceptionally strong—designed specifically for building release pens.
Collins Nets stocks Jumbo Release Pen Netting in three standard sizes:
4 ft × 100 m
5 ft × 100 m
6 ft × 100 m (also commonly used for deer fencing)
Gameflex Release Pen Netting is similar to Jumbo but features smaller mesh openings (~25 mm × 18 mm or 1″ × ¾”), making it ideal for containing smaller game or enhancing predator exclusion.
Lightweight & easy to handle: easier to erect large structures.
Less visible: blends into the environment better.
Rust-free: made from UV-stabilised polypropylene, no corrosion risk.
No—plastic alone is vulnerable to rats and burrowers. Always pair with 25–31 mm galvanised wire mesh at the base to prevent chewing and entry from beneath.
Designed for outdoor use, Jumbo/Gameflex netting is UV-stabilised and durable—suitable for full-season deployments, especially on release pens and rearing enclosures.
