Product Information

Full details

The Pegdev Heavy Duty Plants & Crops Protection Netting is an essential tool for home gardeners and commercial growers who need to shield their vegetation from birds and insect pests without sacrificing plant health. By utilizing a high-quality, UV-stabilized polyethylene mesh, this product provides a durable, breathable barrier that supports photosynthesis and air circulation. While it offers excellent durability and protection, users should note that the 2m width requires careful measurement to ensure complete coverage for larger garden beds or tall shrubbery.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I leave this netting on all year round?

Yes, the UV-stabilized polyethylene is designed to withstand the elements, though it is best practice to store it during winter if you are not growing year-round crops.

Will this block bees from pollinating my flowers?

Yes, because the mesh is designed to keep out smaller insects, it may also prevent pollinators from accessing flowers. You should remove the netting during the bloom phase if pollination is required.

How do I cut the netting to the right size?

The material can be easily cut to your desired length using sharp household scissors or utility shears.

Is the netting safe for organic gardening?

Yes, the netting provides a physical barrier, which is a core method of organic pest control that requires no chemical intervention.

Does the black color affect plant growth?

The black color is chosen for its UV resistance and visibility against the sky, and it does not block the essential light required for photosynthesis due to the open-mesh design.

Troubleshooting

Netting sagging or touching plants

Increase the height of your support hoops or use additional support stakes to create more tension.

Pests finding gaps under the edges

Ensure the edges are pinned down firmly using soil staples or weighted objects every 30-50cm.

Material snagging on rough plant stems

Smooth out rough edges on plant supports or prune back thorny branches that may catch the mesh.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • UV-stabilized material for long-term outdoor durability
  • Allows full sunlight and rain penetration for healthy growth
  • Lightweight and easy to manage during seasonal setup
  • Provides a secure barrier against both avian and insect pests

Cons

  • Fixed 2m width may require multiple lengths for wide garden areas
  • Not intended for protection against larger ground-based digging pests
  • Requires proper anchoring to prevent shifting during high winds

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward: ensure you have enough length to extend slightly past the edges of your garden bed. Secure the edges using garden staples, heavy rocks, or netting pegs to ensure a tight seal against pests.

Compatibility: It is compatible with most standard gardening frames, hoops, and PVC piping structures.

Care: To extend the life of the netting, brush off any accumulated debris or fallen leaves at the end of the season. Clean with a gentle spray of water if soil or sap accumulates. Store the netting in a cool, dry, and dark place during the off-season to ensure the polyethylene remains in peak condition for the following year.
