Product Information

Full details

The Gardening Naturally Green Bird Netting is designed for home gardeners seeking to protect their fruit and vegetables from birds. Its primary benefit is effectively deterring birds while allowing essential pollinators like bees to pass through. A potential caveat is that while durable, the netting requires proper installation to maintain its effectiveness and longevity. This green netting features a 19mm x 19mm mesh, is heavy-duty yet lightweight, and is tangle-free for easy handling.

FAQs

What is the mesh hole size of this bird netting?

The mesh hole size is 19mm x 19mm.

Will this netting harm birds?

No, the netting is designed to deter birds without causing them harm. The mesh size prevents them from accessing crops, but it is not intended to trap or injure them.

Can this netting be used for smaller plants like seedlings?

Yes, it can be used for smaller plants, but it is often best to use it with hoops or a frame to provide support and prevent the netting from crushing delicate seedlings.

How heavy is the netting?

The netting weighs 35gr/m2, making it heavy-duty yet light enough for easy handling and application directly over crops.

Is the netting suitable for all types of gardens?

Yes, it is suitable for all gardens and can be used to protect a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and plants.

How should I store the netting when not in use?

Store the netting in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and sharp objects. It is best to store it loosely rolled or folded to prevent tangling.

Does the netting block sunlight or rain?

The netting allows for sufficient light and air penetration for plant growth and will allow most rainfall to pass through, though heavy downpours might be partially diverted.

Troubleshooting

Netting is difficult to untangle

Lay it out on a flat surface and gently work out any knots or tangles. Store loosely rolled or folded to prevent future tangling.

Birds are still getting under the netting

Ensure the edges of the netting are completely secured to the ground using pegs, weights, or by burying the edges slightly. Check for any gaps or openings.

Netting is sagging or resting on crops

Provide adequate support using hoops, frames, or stakes to keep the netting elevated above the plants, allowing for better airflow and preventing damage to crops.

Netting has small tears

Minor tears can often be repaired by carefully tying the mesh back together or using UV-resistant tape. For larger tears, consider patching or replacing the affected section.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Assess Your Needs: Determine the area or specific plants you wish to protect.
  2. Choose Application Method: Decide whether to lay the netting directly over crops, use it with hoops, or construct a frame.
  3. Deploy Carefully: Unroll the netting, taking care to avoid snags. For direct application, ensure edges are secured to prevent birds from entering underneath.
  4. Secure Edges: Use garden pegs, rocks, or soil to anchor the netting firmly to the ground.
