FAQs

What type of material is the netting made from?

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

How does the netting protect my plants?

It creates a physical barrier that prevents insects and birds from reaching and damaging your crops, while still allowing sunlight and air to pass through.

Can this netting be used for all types of plants?

Yes, it is suitable for a wide variety of plants, including vegetables, fruits, and delicate seedlings.

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.

Is the netting resistant to weather?

Yes, it is UV-stabilised, which helps protect it from degradation caused by sunlight and general weather exposure.

How much does a roll of netting weigh?

Each roll weighs approximately 6kg, making it manageable for most users.

How do I install the netting?

You can secure it around plants or garden beds using stakes, pegs, or by burying the edges. Ensure it is taut but not overly stretched.

Troubleshooting

Netting is difficult to secure.

Use more stakes or pegs around the perimeter. Ensure the ground is firm enough to hold the stakes securely. Consider using weights or burying the edges if staking is challenging.

Pests are still getting through.

Check for any gaps or tears in the netting. Ensure the netting is secured all the way to the ground without any entry points. Reinforce edges and corners where pests might find access.

Netting appears to be stretching or sagging.

Ensure adequate support structures (stakes, frames) are used. Adjust tension by re-securing the netting, but avoid over-tightening which can damage the mesh. For larger areas, consider adding intermediate support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides effective physical protection against various pests.
  • UV-stabilised material ensures longevity and resistance to weather.
  • Allows essential sunlight and air circulation for plant health.
  • Available in multiple lengths to suit different garden sizes.
  • Simple to install and requires minimal maintenance.

Cons

  • Approximately 6kg weight may require more than one person for handling larger rolls.
  • Mesh size, while allowing airflow, might not deter extremely small pests or soil-borne issues.
  • Requires proper installation and securing to be fully effective against determined pests.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unroll the netting carefully. Secure the edges to the ground using stakes, pegs, or by burying them slightly to prevent pests from entering from below. For covering plants or structures, drape the netting loosely to avoid stressing stems and allow for growth, securing it to frames, stakes, or hoops. Ensure there are no large gaps where pests could infiltrate.

Compatibility: This netting is compatible with a wide range of garden setups, including raised beds, ground-level plots, vegetable patches, fruit cages, and individual plants or small trees.

Care: To maintain the netting's integrity, inspect it periodically for tears or damage. After the growing season, clean off any soil or debris with a gentle brush or by rinsing with water. Store the netting in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong its lifespan.
