FAQs

What material is the netting made from?

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

What size pests does this netting protect against?

It provides protection against common garden pests such as insects (e.g., butterflies, aphids) and birds.

Can birds still pollinate my fruit if I use this netting?

The open mesh construction allows for airflow and light penetration, and typically does not impede smaller beneficial insects like bees from accessing flowers for pollination.

How heavy is a roll of this netting?

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

Can I use this netting for very large garden areas?

The netting comes in a 2m width. For larger areas, you can purchase multiple lengths and overlap them, securing the edges together.

Does the netting require frequent maintenance?

No, the netting is designed for low maintenance. Occasional cleaning and proper storage during the off-season are sufficient.

What happens if the netting gets damaged?

Minor tears can often be repaired by carefully sewing or using strong tape. For significant damage, it may be best to replace the affected section.

Troubleshooting

Netting is difficult to unroll or manage.

Ensure the netting is laid on a flat surface before attempting to unroll. If it's tangled, gently work the knots loose by hand.

Pests are still getting under the netting.

Ensure all edges of the netting are securely fastened to the ground. Use additional stakes or weights along the perimeter, or bury the edges slightly into the soil.

Netting appears to be degrading prematurely.

While UV-stabilised, prolonged extreme weather conditions can affect longevity. Ensure proper storage during off-seasons. Check for any sharp objects nearby that could cause damage.

Netting is too short for a specific area.

Purchase an additional length of netting. Overlap the sections and secure them together with cable ties or by sewing the edges to create a continuous barrier.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides robust protection against a wide range of garden pests.
  • UV-stabilised material ensures longevity and resistance to sun degradation.
  • Breathable mesh design supports optimal plant growth by allowing air and light through.
  • Easy to handle, install, and maintain, making it user-friendly for all gardeners.
  • Available in multiple lengths to accommodate various garden sizes.

Cons

  • Fixed 2m width may require overlapping or additional seams for wider applications.
  • Heavier rolls (approx. 6kg) might be challenging for some individuals to manage alone during installation.
  • While effective against birds and insects, it may not deter larger animals.
  • Color may fade over extended periods despite UV stabilization.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unroll the netting carefully to avoid tangles.
  2. Determine the area to be protected and measure the required length.
  3. Install support structures such as stakes, hoops, or frames if needed, especially for taller plants or crops.
  4. Drape the netting over the plants or support structures.
  5. Secure the edges of the netting firmly to the ground using stakes, weights, or by burying the edges to prevent pests from accessing the area from below.

Compatibility:

This netting is compatible with a wide variety of garden settings, including vegetable patches, fruit orchards, raised beds, and flower gardens.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After the growing season, remove the netting and gently brush off any loose soil or debris. If necessary, it can be rinsed with water. Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Storage: Store the netting in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prolong its lifespan.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the netting for any tears or damage during use and repair them promptly to maintain its effectiveness.
