Its key benefit is offering a durable, UV-stabilized barrier that still allows essential airflow and sunlight.

FAQs

What types of pests does this netting protect against?

The netting provides a barrier against insects (like moths, aphids, flies) and birds. It is not designed to stop larger animals or ground-dwelling pests like slugs if not secured properly at the base.

Will the netting block sunlight and air?

No, the open mesh construction is designed to allow optimal airflow and sunlight penetration, which are essential for healthy plant growth.

How do I secure the netting in my garden?

You can secure the netting using garden stakes, pegs, rocks, or weights along the edges. Ensure there are no gaps for pests to enter.

What is the weight of the netting?

Each roll weighs approximately 6kg, making it a robust material. Assistance may be helpful for installation.

Can this netting be cut to size?

Yes, the netting can be cut to your desired length using sharp scissors or a utility knife.

Is the material durable enough for long-term use?

Yes, it is crafted from high-quality UV-stabilised polyethylene monofilaments, designed for durability and resistance to outdoor elements.

What are the dimensions of the netting?

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

Troubleshooting

Netting is sagging onto plants.

Ensure adequate support structures (stakes, hoops) are used. Adjust the tension by re-securing the edges or adding additional support.

Pests are still getting through.

Check for any gaps or openings around the edges of the netting. Ensure it is securely fastened to the ground and covers the entire protected area without holes.

Netting feels difficult to handle.

As the netting is heavy-duty, enlist assistance for easier unrolling and installation, especially for larger applications.

UV degradation after one season.

Ensure you are using the UV-stabilized version. Proper storage during the off-season can also help maximize its lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unroll the netting carefully. Due to its weight, consider having a second person assist, especially for larger areas.
  2. Determine the area to be protected (e.g., garden bed, individual plant, fruit cage).
  3. Drape the netting over the plants or structure, ensuring it covers the entire area with some overlap.
  4. Secure the edges firmly to the ground using garden stakes, pegs, or weights. Ensure there are no gaps where pests can enter.
  5. For taller plants or cages, use poles or a frame to support the netting and maintain tension, preventing it from sagging onto the plants.

Compatibility:

This netting is compatible with most garden structures, including wooden frames, metal hoops, and existing garden beds. It can be used in conjunction with other garden protection methods.

Care:

  • Clean the netting annually by gently hosing it down to remove dirt and debris.
  • Store the netting rolled or folded in a dry place during the off-season to prolong its lifespan.
  • Inspect periodically for any damage and repair promptly.
