FAQs

What material is the netting made from?

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

What is the primary purpose of this netting?

Its primary purpose is to protect crops and gardens from pests like insects and birds.

How does the mesh construction benefit my plants?

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

What are the dimensions of the netting?

The netting comes in a standard width of 2 meters and is available in various lengths.

How heavy is a roll of netting?

Each roll weighs approximately 6kg, making it manageable for handling and installation.

Can this netting protect against larger animals?

While effective against birds and insects, it is not designed to deter larger animals like deer or rabbits.

What is the recommended way to install the netting?

Unroll, cut to size, drape over plants or structures, and secure edges with stakes, pegs, or weights. Overlap sections for larger areas.

Troubleshooting

Netting is difficult to cut

Ensure you are using sharp scissors or a utility knife. Cutting on a flat, stable surface can also help.

Pests are still getting through

Check for any gaps or holes in the netting, especially at the edges or where sections are overlapped. Ensure the netting is properly secured to the ground.

Netting is sagging or not staying in place

Use more stakes or securing points, or ensure existing ones are firmly embedded in the ground. Adjust tension as needed.

Plants seem to be growing poorly under the netting

Verify that the mesh is open enough for adequate light and airflow. Ensure the netting is not pressing directly onto the plants, restricting their growth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides effective physical protection against a wide range of pests.
  • UV stabilization ensures durability and resistance to sun degradation.
  • Breathable mesh design promotes healthy plant growth by allowing air and light through.
  • Easy to cut, handle, and install for gardeners of all experience levels.
  • Available in multiple lengths to accommodate various garden sizes.

Cons

  • The fixed 2m width may require overlapping for larger areas, potentially creating slight gaps.
  • Heavy-duty nature means it might be cumbersome for very small or intricate garden areas.
  • While UV-stabilized, prolonged extreme weather exposure could eventually degrade the material.
  • Requires separate support structures (stakes, frames) for proper installation.
  • Does not prevent all types of pests (e.g., burrowing animals).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unroll the netting and cut to the desired length using sharp scissors or a utility knife. Drape the netting over your plants or garden area. Secure the edges using garden stakes, pegs, weights, or by tying it to an existing frame or structure. For larger areas, overlap adjacent sections by at least 10-15cm to prevent gaps. Ensure the netting is taut but not so tight that it restricts plant growth.

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

Care: To maintain the netting's effectiveness, periodically inspect it for tears or damage. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary, avoiding harsh chemicals. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
