Product Information

Full details

This Poultry and Fruit Cage Netting is designed for gardeners and smallholders needing to protect crops and poultry. Its primary benefit is providing effective containment and pest deterrence with good airflow and light penetration. A potential caveat is that for complete fruit cage protection, especially from aerial predators, roof netting should be used in conjunction. The netting features a 17mm x 17mm square mesh, is made from durable, toughened plastic, and is easy to cut and secure, making it suitable for chicken runs, fruit cages, and protecting individual plants or raised beds.

FAQs

What is the mesh size of this netting?

The mesh size is 17mm x 17mm square.

Is this netting suitable for all types of birds?

It is effective against most common garden birds. For very small birds or those determined to find entry points, ensure a secure and gap-free installation. For complete protection of fruit from aerial birds, consider using it with roof netting.

Can I use this netting for animals other than poultry?

While designed for poultry and fruit protection, its durable nature and mesh size may make it suitable for containing other small animals, provided they cannot chew through it or dig under it.

Does the netting block sunlight?

No, the netting is designed to allow good light penetration, ensuring plants receive adequate sunlight.

How do I attach the netting to a frame?

You can use garden ties, cable clips, hooks, staples, or other common fasteners to attach the netting securely to wooden, metal, or PVC frames.

Can this netting be used in all weather conditions?

Yes, it is made from durable, toughened plastic designed for routine outdoor use and can withstand changing weather conditions.

How long will the netting last?

With careful handling and proper storage when not in use, the netting is designed for durable, routine outdoor use and can be reused.

Troubleshooting

Netting is sagging or loose

Re-tension the netting and secure it more firmly to the support structure using additional ties or clips. Ensure it's pulled taut during initial installation.

Small pests are finding a way through

Check for any gaps or holes in the netting or at the points where it is secured. Ensure the mesh is properly fitted and the base is sealed if used for ground-level protection.

Netting is difficult to cut cleanly

Use sharp shears or a utility knife for a clean cut. Ensure the netting is laid flat on a stable surface before cutting.

Netting is torn after installation

Repair small tears using strong garden tape or by stitching. For larger tears, consider replacing the section or reinforcing it significantly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure and Cut: Determine the required dimensions for your enclosure or cover. Use scissors or a sharp knife to carefully cut the netting to size. It can be cut to any shape needed.
  2. Secure: Attach the netting to your frame (e.g., wooden posts, metal hoops, existing structures) using garden ties, cable clips, hooks, or staples. Ensure the netting is taut to prevent sagging and pest entry.
  3. Installation Tips: For fruit cages, ensure a secure seal at the base to prevent ground pests. For chicken runs, reinforce corners and entry points.

  • Inspection: Periodically inspect for any tears or damage that may compromise its effectiveness.
