The Pegdev Butterfly Netting is an essential garden tool for home growers and allotment holders who want to protect their brassicas and leafy greens from destructive pests without the use of chemical pesticides. This fine-mesh barrier effectively prevents butterflies from laying eggs on crops while ensuring light, air, and moisture still reach your plants, though it requires secure anchoring to remain effective in windy conditions.

Yes, the material is designed so it can be cut to your specific garden dimensions without fraying.
Yes, it provides a physical barrier, meaning no chemicals are required to protect your plants.
You can use garden pegs, heavy weights, or bury the edges of the netting in the soil to keep it securely in place.
No, the mesh is fine enough to allow sunlight, air, and water to pass through, ensuring healthy plant development.
Clean off any soil or debris, allow it to dry completely, fold it, and store it in a cool, dry area until next season.
It is primarily designed for low-growing vegetable crops; for large trees, you may need a different type of support structure to drape the netting properly.
Check the perimeter for gaps where the netting meets the soil and ensure pegs or weights are correctly placed to keep the barrier sealed.
Use support hoops or garden canes to create a frame, preventing the netting from weighing down sensitive leaves.
To install, drape the netting over your garden beds or support frames. Ensure the netting is taut but not so tight that it restricts plant growth. Secure the perimeter using garden pegs or heavy stones to ensure there are no gaps where pests can crawl underneath. After the harvest, simply remove the netting, shake off any debris, and fold it for storage in a dry place. The rot-proof material does not require special cleaning agents; a quick rinse with a hose is sufficient if the net becomes dirty during the season.
