Jason,
You can add extra step in posts to help the sag. You can put them in between every post or skip a couple of posts. A lot of times just 4-6 extra posts placed throughout the net will help along the complete net. You can also use a stronger corner post (1/2" FiberRod or a metal T post-carefully placed). If the corners are very secure, you can put a bit more tension on the net and lose some of that sag.
Thank you.

Mandy,

Thanks for the quick response! We use metal tent pegs at the corners. I will try the extra step in posts to help as well. In taking a good hard look at the fence and ground, I think most of the "sagging" is due to uneven ground in the pastures we use for rotational grazing (we raise goats and after they're done with a section of pasture, the chickens follow). A little bit of a bump in the ground between posts can give the appearance of a lot of sag. Thanks again for your response!

Jason D.

While I do not have poultry net, I do have the tall sheep/goat net. I find that if I do not give the bottom of the fence a good pull when stretching it upon setup the top sags more. Give this pull right before hills over the flat. As mentioned above extra polls can help along with good corners.
