Hi everyone,
I'm buying a few miles of Bare Hand bird netting this summer and want to know if anyone is interested in going in on a group buy. These nets are soft like cloth but very strong. They claim a useful life of 5 years but ours are still going strong after 6 with no signs of degredation, wear or tear. We were using black poly and hate them so much that we decided to bite the bullet and replace them all with Bare Hand nets. One mile of 17' wide Bare Hand nets store in 2 large laundry bags. The same amount of black poly stores in 10x that space.

The deal is that you pay my actual costs with ZERO markup. The price last year was $0.195 per lineal foot of the 17' wide net. The price has not been set this year but I donot think it will go up. If it does, the price should not be over $0.21. This is very inexpensive. I will know for sure by June when they fill orders. All I ask is that if you pay by credit card that you also pay for my CC bank fees of 3%. Otherwise, a check will do fine. If you can't pick it up from my vineyard in Los Gatos and need it shipped, I will pass on those direct costs as well.

The purpose of a group buy is to lower ALL of our costs and that is the reason I am willing to do this for ZERO profit. If you are interested, PM me with how much you want. Make sure you are counting the amount needed to cover the endposts when measuring. I already have Alan down for 200' and Pam for 710'. Anyone else?

Thanks,
Greg

Hi, I'm in Virginia, so I can't really participate in your group buy. I was wondering, though, if you can tell me how much netting you need to buy to get that price and where you buy it from. Also, is it the super-premium or premium.... the flex or easy-fit? Thanks.

This looks like a great deal. I would like to buy in for 650 feet

Thanks

It is the Flex netting. I'm not sure of the grade as I did not realize they made more than one. I'll call and find out but I think it is the Premium.

I'll take 250 feet, please.

Hi Greg,
Is this all said and done or can a person still get in on this?
I'll send a p.m. too in case you don't see this right away.

Hi everyone,
I'm picking up the nets Thursday and will begin shipping them out right away. I need to ask some of you to e-mail me (greg @ kennedyhill.com) your shipping addresses again. My computer crashed and I lost almost everything. Pricing still has not been set but I am assured we will not be over $0.21 per foot. Closer to $0.205 is what they said. The reason it is taking so long is the shipping from the manufacturer. The supplier has to pay for a full truckload and the more bags they put on it, the lower the cost to us.

Greg, I PM'd you a few weeks ago requesting 200'. If you missed it, don't worry about it. But if you got it, I'll take it.

I think you have my address, but if not let me know.

[K-9]

Greg, hate ask - are you doing anymore next year? I could probably do it then if I can figure out the cost for the netting I need.

thanks.
