What type of netting is best for protecting against butterflies?

Troubleshooting
Cage frame feels unstable
Ensure all steel joiners are fully connected and secured. Verify that the steel pegs are firmly inserted into the ground. For added stability, especially in windy areas, use heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately).
Netting is difficult to attach
Ensure the net clamps are correctly positioned on the tubing. If the netting is tight, try slightly adjusting the frame tension. Ensure you are using the correct size netting for your cage frame.
Pests are still accessing crops
Check the netting for any gaps or tears and repair them immediately. Ensure the netting is securely fastened to the ground around the base of the cage to prevent entry from below. Verify that the mesh size of your netting is appropriate for the pests you are trying to exclude.
