Scaffold/debris net as sheep windbreak?

It's looking like we're going to have a roof but no sides on our new building in time for Lambing 1st March.
Not many sheep but I was wondering whether I could strap some heavy duty debris netting around the sides to keep them in and provide some shelter against the worst of the weather.
Has anyone done this? Do you think it would work?
Damn, I knew I should have opted for Lambing later outdoors :X3:

Used the green stuff on our haybarn. You can get the better stuff which is 90% let's plenty of light in but keeps heavy rain out.
 
As has been said , you would need some metal wire ,(either the sort thats plastic coated off tennis court or just galv fencing wire ) run through the net top and middle and bottom to ensure it doesnt blow in a rip in strong wind . Otherwise it will take a bit of a beating

I used it but doubled up,it worked fine.

I fastened it to a purlin above using planks and the same at the bottom.
