FAQs

What type of material is the netting made from?

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

How does the mesh construction benefit my plants?

The open mesh allows for optimal airflow and sunlight penetration, which are essential for plant health and growth, while still providing protection.

Can this netting be used for fruit trees?

Yes, it is suitable for protecting delicate fruits and can be draped over fruit trees or bushes.

What is the approximate weight of a roll?

Each roll weighs approximately 6kg, making it relatively easy to handle and install.

How do I join multiple pieces of netting together?

You can overlap the edges of the netting and secure them together using garden clips, ties, or by sewing them if a more permanent solution is desired. Ensure the overlap is sufficient to prevent pest entry.

Is the netting suitable for organic gardening?

Yes, as it provides a physical barrier against pests without the need for chemical deterrents.

How long will the netting last?

Due to its UV-stabilised construction, it is designed for long-term use, though lifespan can vary based on environmental conditions and exposure.

Troubleshooting

Netting is difficult to secure in windy conditions.

Use heavier stakes or increase the number of anchoring points along the edges. Consider using weights like rocks or bricks along the base.

Small pests are still finding their way through the netting.

Ensure there are no gaps or holes where the netting meets the ground or is joined. Check for and repair any tears in the material.

Netting is sagging over plants.

Increase the height of your support structures (stakes, poles) or ensure the netting is adequately tensioned during installation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides reliable protection against various pests like insects and birds.
  • Durable construction with UV-stabilised polyethylene for longevity.
  • Allows for essential airflow and sunlight to reach plants.
  • Versatile for use on a wide range of crops and garden types.
  • Easy to handle and install, even for novice gardeners.

Cons

  • The 2m width may require joining sections for larger garden areas.
  • While durable, it can be susceptible to tearing if snagged on sharp objects.
  • Heavy-duty nature might make it slightly more challenging to cut precisely for intricate garden layouts.
  • The black colour may absorb more heat in direct sunlight compared to lighter colours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unroll the netting carefully. Secure the edges using garden stakes, pegs, or by anchoring it to nearby structures like fences or trellises. For taller plants or rows, use stakes or poles to create a tent-like structure, ensuring the netting does not directly press on the foliage. Overlap sections if covering a larger area and secure the seams to prevent pest entry.

Compatibility: This netting is compatible with most garden setups, including raised beds, ground-level plots, and container gardens. It can be used to cover individual plants, rows, or entire garden sections. It is suitable for use with most common garden supports.

Care: After the growing season, clean the netting by gently brushing off any debris or soil. Store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve its UV resistance and extend its lifespan. Inspect for any damage and repair small tears with UV-resistant tape if necessary.
