FAQs
What does 'rot proof' mean for this net?
'Rot proof' means the material is treated or designed to resist decay and degradation caused by moisture, fungi, and bacteria, ensuring it lasts longer in garden conditions.
Can this net also keep out insects?
This net is primarily designed for bird protection and has a mesh size suitable for that purpose. It may offer some limited protection against larger insects but is not intended as an insect barrier.
How long can I expect this net to last?
With proper care and storage, the rot-proof material should provide effective protection for multiple gardening seasons.
Is the green color safe for plants?
Yes, the green color is standard and safe for plants. It is chosen to blend in with the garden environment.
Can I cut the net to size?
Yes, the net can be cut to size. However, it's advisable to do so carefully to minimize fraying, perhaps by using sharp scissors and securing the cut edge with tape if needed.
Will the net block sunlight and rain?
The net is designed to allow sufficient sunlight and rain to pass through to the plants while providing protection from birds.
Troubleshooting
Net tears easily when stressed
Ensure the net is not overly taut. Use adequate support structures and secure it loosely where possible to allow for wind movement without tearing.
Birds still manage to get under the net
Ensure the edges of the net are fully secured to the ground or base structure. Burying the edges slightly can prevent birds from accessing the area from below.
Net becomes tangled during deployment
Carefully unroll the net on a flat surface. Use weights or pins to hold sections in place as you work.
