Full details

This Heavy Duty Plants & Crops Protection Netting by Pegdev is designed for gardeners seeking reliable protection for their plants from pests like insects and birds. Its key benefit is providing a durable, UV-stabilised barrier that doesn't hinder plant growth due to its breathable mesh.

Troubleshooting

Netting is sagging or not staying taut.

Ensure sufficient support stakes or frame structure are used and spaced appropriately. Tighten the netting as much as possible during installation.

Small pests are still getting through.

Inspect the netting for any holes or gaps. Ensure the edges are securely fastened to the ground or structure, especially at corners and where sections meet.

Netting is difficult to cut to size.

Use sharp scissors or a utility knife for clean cuts. Be cautious to avoid fraying the edges.

Netting appears to be degrading prematurely.

Ensure the netting is the UV-stabilised version. Protect it from excessive mechanical abrasion and contact with sharp objects.
