Does the netting block sunlight and air?

Troubleshooting

Netting is difficult to stretch taut

Ensure adequate support structures are used and properly spaced. Check that the netting is not snagged on any objects.

Small insects are still getting through

Verify that all edges are securely fastened to the ground. Consider using finer mesh netting for smaller pests or combining with other deterrent methods.

Netting seems to be degrading prematurely

Ensure the netting is not being overstretched, which can weaken the monofilaments. Confirm it is stored properly during the off-season.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Determine the area needing protection.
  2. Install support structures such as stakes, hoops, or frames around or over the plants.
  3. Unroll the netting, ensuring it is spread evenly.
  4. Drape the netting over the supports, creating a tent-like structure or a ground cover.
  5. Secure the edges of the netting firmly to the ground using garden stakes, rocks, or soil to prevent pests from entering from underneath.

Care:

  • After the growing season, carefully remove the netting.
