This Pegdev Butterfly Netting is designed for home gardeners and allotment holders seeking a chemical-free method to protect vegetables and plants from insect pests. Its primary benefit is providing a reliable physical barrier against butterflies and other insects, preventing egg-laying and subsequent crop damage, while allowing essential resources like light, air, and rain to reach plants. A potential caveat is the need for proper securing to ensure effectiveness against strong winds or persistent pests. This netting is crafted from UV-stabilised polyethylene with a fine mesh, is lightweight, flexible, reusable, and rot-proof.

It is ideal for a wide variety of vegetables, including brassicas (cabbage, broccoli), root vegetables (carrots), and leafy greens. It can also be used for fruit bushes and other vulnerable plants.
For larger beds, you can drape the netting over the entire area and secure the edges with pegs or weights. Alternatively, create a frame using hoops or poles and drape the netting over the frame, securing it at the base.
No, the fine mesh acts as a physical barrier and is designed to keep out pests while allowing beneficial insects, light, air, and rain to pass through.
The colour is primarily for identification and does not affect plant growth. Its visibility is a matter of personal preference; some gardeners find it a distinct marker in their garden.
Made from UV-stabilised polyethylene and being rot-proof and weather-resistant, the netting is designed for long-term use, lasting multiple growing seasons if cared for properly.
Yes, the netting is lightweight and flexible and can be easily cut to any size required without fraying, using sharp scissors or a utility knife.
The primary benefit is providing a reliable, chemical-free physical barrier to protect your plants from butterflies and other insect pests, preventing damage and ensuring healthier crops.
Ensure edges are firmly secured with enough pegs, weights, or by burying the edges slightly in the soil.
Check for gaps or holes along the edges or in the netting itself. Secure edges more tightly and repair any tears.
While the mesh allows water through, heavy downpours or thick build-up of debris might slow penetration. Gently brush off any accumulated debris.
Handle with care, especially when cutting or securing. Avoid sharp objects catching on the mesh. Minor tears can sometimes be mended with fine thread.
