Troubleshooting

Netting is sagging or not staying in place

Ensure all edges are securely anchored with stakes or weights. Consider using additional support posts if covering a large area.

Pests are still getting through

Check for any gaps or openings at the edges where the netting meets the ground. Ensure the mesh is fine enough for the specific pest you are trying to deter. For smaller pests, consider a finer mesh alternative.

Netting appears to be degrading in sunlight

While UV-stabilised, extreme prolonged exposure can eventually wear down the material. Ensure proper storage during off-seasons to maximize its lifespan.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides effective physical protection against a wide range of pests.
  • Allows essential sunlight and air to reach plants, promoting healthy growth.
  • Made from durable, UV-stabilised material for extended use.
  • Versatile for various garden applications and plant types.
  • Relatively easy to handle and install despite its robust nature.

Cons

  • Can be heavy (approx. 6kg per roll), potentially requiring secure anchoring.
  • May snag on sharp objects if not handled carefully during installation.
  • Open mesh, while beneficial for plants, might not stop very small crawling insects.
  • The green colour, while natural, might be visible in some garden aesthetics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Unroll the netting carefully to avoid tangles. Drape it over your plants or garden structures. Secure the edges using garden stakes, pegs, or by burying the edges slightly in the soil to prevent pests from crawling underneath. Ensure the netting is taut but does not constrict plant growth.

Compatibility:

This netting is compatible with most garden setups, including raised beds, ground-level gardens, fruit cages, and individual plant supports. It can be used alongside general garden structures for added support.

Care:

After the growing season, remove the netting and gently clean off any soil or debris with a damp cloth. Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its UV resistance and prolong its lifespan. Avoid using harsh chemicals for cleaning.
