FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this netting?

The primary purpose is to protect plants and crops from pests such as insects and birds, while allowing air and sunlight to penetrate.

What material is the netting made from?

It is crafted from high-quality, UV-stabilised polyethylene monofilaments.

How wide is the netting?

The netting comes in a convenient width of 2 meters.

Will this netting harm my plants?

No, the open mesh construction ensures optimal airflow and sunlight penetration, which is beneficial for plant growth. It is designed to protect, not harm.

How heavy is a roll of netting?

Each roll weighs approximately 6kg.

Can this netting be used for all types of pests?

It is effective against aerial pests like insects and birds. It is not designed to prevent burrowing pests.

How do I install the netting effectively?

Drape it over plants or frames and secure the edges firmly to the ground using pegs or by burying them to create a seal.

Troubleshooting

Netting is sagging and not providing adequate protection.

Ensure the netting is properly tensioned during installation. Use additional stakes or secure the edges more firmly to the ground.

Small pests are finding their way under the netting.

Bury the edges of the netting at least 2-3 inches into the soil or secure them tightly to the base of frames/beds with pegs or weights.

Netting has a small tear.

For minor tears, carefully mend with UV-resistant tape or by re-weaving the monofilaments if possible. For larger tears, consider patching or replacing the section.

Netting is difficult to cut.

Use a sharp utility knife or strong scissors. Ensure the netting is laid flat before cutting for a cleaner edge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure the area you wish to cover.
  2. Unroll the netting, cutting to your desired length if necessary, using sharp scissors or a utility knife.
  3. Drape the netting over plants, frames, or hoops, ensuring it covers the entire area to be protected.
  4. Secure the edges firmly to the ground using pegs, stones, or by burying the edges slightly to prevent pests from entering underneath.
  5. For larger areas or taller plants, use stakes or poles to create a frame, allowing the netting to hang freely, and ensure it is taut to prevent sagging.
