FAQs
What is the primary use of this garden netting mesh?
It is primarily used for garden borders, allotment fencing, protecting plants from browsing animals like deer, and creating enclosures for animals.
How easy is it to install?
It's designed to be user-friendly. It can be easily trimmed, bent, and secured with common garden tools and supports like posts or stakes.
What does 'PVC plastic coated galvanized wire' mean?
It means the mesh is made of galvanized (zinc-coated) steel wire for rust resistance, which is then further coated with a layer of PVC plastic for added durability, weather resistance, and a finished appearance.
Will the green color fade?
The green PVC coating is designed for outdoor use, but like most colored materials exposed to prolonged, intense sunlight, some fading may occur over time.
Can this mesh be used to keep insects out?
The 13mm mesh size is generally too large to effectively keep out most insects or very small pests like mice and voles.
How durable is this mesh?
It is described as strong and durable, suitable for long-lasting applications due to its coated galvanized wire construction.
Can I cut this mesh to a specific size?
Yes, the mesh can be easily trimmed to your required size using appropriate cutting tools like wire cutters or shears.
Troubleshooting
Mesh is difficult to cut.
Ensure you are using heavy-duty wire cutters or shears specifically designed for metal mesh.
Mesh is sagging or not holding its shape.
Increase the number or spacing of support posts/stakes, or bury the bottom edge more firmly into the ground.
Green coating is peeling.
This is uncommon with proper use. Inspect for excessive abrasion or chemical exposure. If minor, it may not affect function, but significant peeling could reduce longevity.
Small animals can still get through.
The 13mm mesh is not designed for very small pests. Consider layering with finer mesh or using a different solution for rodent control.
