The Pegdev Butterfly Netting is an essential tool for home gardeners and allotment holders looking to protect vegetable crops like cabbages and broccoli from insect damage without using chemical pesticides. Its primary benefit is the creation of a physical barrier that prevents butterflies from laying eggs, while still allowing vital air, water, and sunlight to reach your plants. Please note that while the netting is highly effective at stopping pests, it must be properly secured at the edges to ensure insects do not crawl underneath the mesh.

No, the mesh is specifically designed to allow sufficient light, air, and rain to reach your plants.
Yes, it is rot-proof and can be rinsed with water and left to air dry if it becomes covered in mud or debris.
Absolutely, it provides a physical barrier that removes the need for synthetic chemical pesticides.
The material is designed to be cut to size without fraying, allowing for a clean fit on your specific garden beds.
While it is weather-resistant, it is recommended to store it indoors after the growing season to prolong its lifespan.
Use garden pegs, landscape staples, or heavy stones to ensure the edges are sealed flush against the soil.
Check the perimeter for gaps where insects may be crawling under the netting and ensure the edges are weighed down firmly.
Install simple bamboo canes or wire hoops to create a frame that elevates the netting above the foliage.
Increase the number of anchor points using garden pegs or heavy-duty weights every 30-50 centimeters.
To install, measure your growing area and cut the netting to fit, leaving a few extra inches to anchor the edges into the soil. Use garden pegs or heavy stones to ensure the perimeter is sealed completely against the ground to stop insects from crawling under. For care, keep the netting free of heavy debris or fallen branches to prevent tearing. At the end of the season, simply shake off any dirt, allow it to dry completely to prevent mold, and fold it for compact storage until the following year. The netting is compatible with most garden structures, including hoops, timber frames, or direct soil covering.
