FAQs

What materials is the netting made from?

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

How effective is this netting against birds?

The netting provides a physical barrier that is effective in deterring most common garden birds from reaching your crops.

Will the netting block sunlight or airflow to my plants?

No, the open mesh construction is designed to allow optimal airflow and sunlight penetration, which are essential for 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 to suit different gardening needs.

How heavy is a roll of this netting?

Each roll weighs approximately 6kg, making it manageable for most gardeners to handle and install.

Can this netting be used for organic gardening?

Yes, as it provides a physical barrier and does not involve chemical treatments, it is suitable for organic gardening practices.

How should I store the netting when not in use?

After cleaning, store the netting in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its UV resistance and prolong its lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Netting is not staying in place.

Ensure edges are adequately secured. Use more stakes or weights, or tuck the edges firmly into the soil or mulch.

Small pests are still finding their way through.

Check for any gaps or holes in the netting and repair them. Ensure the netting is properly sealed around the base of plants or garden perimeter.

Netting appears to be sagging.

Add additional support stakes or adjust the tension. Ensure the netting is not overloaded with debris.

Netting is difficult to cut to size.

Use sharp shears or a utility knife for clean cuts. Cut on a flat surface and be mindful of stray threads.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers robust protection against common garden pests.
  • Promotes healthy plant growth with good airflow and sunlight.
  • Made from durable, UV-stabilised materials for longevity.
  • Easy to handle and install for gardeners of all experience levels.
  • Versatile for protecting a wide range of crops and plants.

Cons

  • Fixed 2m width may not suit all garden sizes without additional planning or seams.
  • While durable, extreme weather conditions could potentially stress the material over time.
  • Requires manual installation and securing, which can be time-consuming for very large areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Unroll the netting carefully to avoid tangles. Drape it over your plants or garden structure, ensuring complete coverage. Secure the edges using garden stakes, pegs, rocks, or by burying them slightly in the soil. For taller plants or structures, ensure adequate support to prevent the netting from collapsing onto the foliage.

Compatibility:

This netting is compatible with most garden setups, including raised beds, ground-level gardens, fruit cages, and individual plant protection. It can be used in conjunction with common garden supports like hoops or frames. It is designed for outdoor use.

Care:

After the growing season, clean the netting by gently rinsing with water to remove soil and debris. Allow it to dry completely before storing it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong its lifespan. Inspect for any damage before next use.
