The Pegdev Butterfly Netting is an essential tool for home gardeners and allotment owners who want to protect brassicas like cabbage and broccoli from pests without resorting to chemical sprays. This fine-mesh barrier effectively prevents butterflies from laying eggs on crops while allowing essential air, light, and water to reach the soil. While it offers superior physical protection for sensitive greens, users should note that the lightweight material requires careful securing with pegs to prevent it from shifting in high winds.

Yes, the material is designed to be cut to fit your specific garden area without fraying.
No, the mesh is fine enough to allow sunlight, rain, and air to pass through freely.
Yes, it is rot-proof and weather-resistant, allowing it to be stored and used for many growing seasons.
Use garden pegs to pin the edges to the soil or use bricks and weights to hold it in place.
While intended for insects, the netting can provide a light physical barrier against small birds, though it is primarily designed as an insect exclusion screen.
Ensure the edges are buried or held down firmly with deep-set garden pegs or heavy landscaping weights.
Inspect the plants for existing eggs before covering and ensure the netting does not touch the plant leaves directly, as butterflies can lay eggs through the holes.
Setup is straightforward: simply unfold the netting and drape it over your garden rows or raised beds. Secure the edges firmly using garden pegs or heavy stones to ensure the barrier remains in place during windy conditions. This netting is compatible with most standard vegetable garden setups, including allotment beds and container gardening. To clean, rinse with a garden hose to remove debris and allow the netting to dry completely before folding it up. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the material for the following year.
