Product Information

Full details

The Pegdev Strawberry Netting is designed for home gardeners and allotment owners who need a reliable, chemical-free way to protect soft fruits and vegetable crops from birds and pests. Its primary benefit is the combination of a fine-mesh physical barrier with high air and light permeability, ensuring plants continue to thrive while protected. A notable caveat is that the netting must be pulled taut and secured properly to prevent wildlife from becoming entangled in loose loops.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I cut this netting to fit my garden beds?

Yes, the material is designed to be cut to any size or shape using standard garden shears without fraying.

Is this netting safe for birds?

Yes, when installed correctly and pulled taut, it prevents birds from reaching the fruit without entrapping them.

Does the green colour block sunlight?

No, the mesh is designed to allow sufficient sunlight and airflow to reach the plants for healthy growth.

How do I store the netting for the winter?

Shake off any debris, fold it loosely, and store it in a cool, dry shed or garage.

Can this be used on fruit trees?

It is best suited for low-growing plants like strawberries, raspberries, and vegetables, though it can cover small shrubs if framed properly.

Is the netting chemically treated?

No, it acts as a physical barrier and does not contain chemical deterrents, making it a safe choice for organic gardening.

Troubleshooting

Netting blowing away in strong wind

Increase the number of anchor points using ground pegs or place heavier stones along the perimeter.

Birds still accessing crops

Ensure the netting is pulled taut and that no gaps exist between the mesh edge and the soil surface.

Netting snagging on plants

Build a light frame structure to hold the netting above the foliage instead of draping it directly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and easy to handle during installation
  • Environmentally friendly alternative to chemical pesticides
  • Reusable year after year for cost-effective protection
  • Permeable design ensures optimal plant respiration

Cons

  • Requires careful installation to avoid entanglement hazards for birds
  • May snag on thorns or sharp garden edges
  • Needs separate securing tools like pegs or weights

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the netting, clear the area around your plants to ensure no sharp sticks or debris will puncture the fabric. Drape the netting loosely over your crops or frame, leaving enough slack to account for plant growth. Secure the edges using garden pegs or stones spaced at 30-50cm intervals to ensure a snug seal against the ground. When the harvest season ends, gently shake the netting to remove leaves and debris, then store it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to maximize its lifespan. It is compatible with all standard raised beds, garden hoops, and can be used on individual pots.
