Product Information

Full details

This PDL Heavy Duty Plants & Crops Protection Netting is designed for gardeners and farmers seeking a durable solution to protect their plants from pests and birds. Its key benefit is providing reliable defense while allowing optimal airflow and sunlight. A minor consideration is that while the netting is UV stabilized, prolonged extreme weather may still impact its lifespan over many years.

FAQs

What materials is the netting made from?

The netting is crafted from high-quality, UV-stabilised polyethylene.

What is the primary purpose of this netting?

Its primary purpose is to protect plants and crops from insects, bugs, and birds.

Is the netting suitable for all types of gardens?

Yes, it is suitable for various garden types, including vegetable patches, fruit trees, and flower beds. Its 2m width makes it adaptable.

How does the open mesh design benefit plants?

The open mesh design allows for optimal airflow and sunlight penetration, which are essential for healthy plant growth.

How should I store the netting when not in use?

Store the netting in a dry, shaded location, such as a shed or garage, to protect it from prolonged exposure to the elements.

Can this netting deter larger animals like rabbits?

This netting is primarily designed for insects, bugs, and birds. It is not intended to deter larger animals such as rabbits or deer.

Does the UV stabilisation mean it will last forever?

UV stabilisation significantly extends the lifespan of the netting in outdoor conditions, but like all materials, prolonged exposure to extreme weather over many years may eventually cause wear.

Troubleshooting

Netting is easily blown away by wind.

Ensure the netting is securely fastened to the ground or supporting structure using ample stakes, pegs, or weights. Burying the edges with soil provides extra stability.

Small gaps allow pests to enter.

Carefully inspect the installation and seal any gaps by overlapping sections of netting and securing them, or by using additional stakes around the perimeter.

Netting snagged or torn during installation.

Handle the netting gently. If a small tear occurs, it can often be mended with UV-resistant tape or by sewing, though this may slightly affect airflow in that specific spot.

Reduced sunlight penetration.

Ensure the netting is taut and not sagging, as sagging can create denser areas. Clean the netting if it has accumulated significant dust or debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent protection against a wide range of garden pests.
  • Allows essential resources like sunlight and air to reach plants.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity in outdoor environments.
  • Easy to cut and shape for custom garden layouts.
  • Simple to install and requires very little maintenance.

Cons

  • The 2m width may not be suitable for very wide garden beds without joining multiple pieces.
  • While UV stabilized, extreme weather conditions over extended periods could eventually affect material integrity.
  • Netting can be susceptible to snagging on sharp objects if not handled carefully during installation.
  • Not designed to deter larger animals like deer or rabbits.
  • May require additional support structures for large, heavy crops.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unroll the netting carefully to avoid snags. Drape it over plants, rows, or garden beds. Secure the edges using garden stakes, pegs, or by burying the edges lightly with soil. Ensure there are no large gaps where pests can enter. For taller plants or structures, use stakes or frames to keep the netting elevated and prevent direct contact.

Compatibility: This netting is compatible with most garden structures, including raised beds, hoops, tunnels, and frames. It can be used with a variety of plants, from small herbs and vegetables to larger fruit bushes and trees.

Care: After the growing season, remove the netting and inspect it for any damage. Clean off any soil or debris with a soft brush or by gently rinsing with water. Store the netting in a dry, shaded location, such as a shed or garage, to prolong its lifespan. Avoid folding it sharply, as this can weaken the material over time. The UV stabilization helps protect it, but prolonged exposure to harsh elements when not in use can still reduce its effectiveness.
