Troubleshooting

Netting is difficult to secure in windy conditions.

Use heavier duty stakes or ensure the netting is well-anchored to a stable frame. Consider using additional weights along the base if draping over crops.

Small insects are still getting through the mesh.

For very small pests, consider using a finer mesh netting or overlapping sections of this netting to create a denser barrier.

Netting seems to be degrading or becoming brittle.

Ensure the netting is indeed UV-stabilised. If it is, check for excessive chemical exposure. Prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme weather conditions can accelerate degradation.
