I finally got spoken to this morning after days in the dog house, not the TD Dog House just the one I am regularly assigned to by she who thinks she must be obeyed.

Anyway it is called "daa kai" that's the best I can do and she bought it from "a shop" in Non Sawan, more details weren't forthcoming but I am assumming it was just a run of the mill general type store that sells all sorts of hardware type stuff. To me it is, or looks like, just a fish net.

The MIL puts string/ cord through the top and bottom and then strings that between bamboo poles. If you tie the string tight enough at the bottom the chickens don't go under it and because it is about 6 foot high they don't seem to want to fly over the top either. Some have managed to get into the garden when the gate is left open and when they get chased they can definitely fly over the top of it.

P.S. I am glad I could help you not have a sleepless night.

Cheers
