This UV-stabilised strawberry netting is for gardeners seeking to protect their fruit and crops from birds and pests. Its key benefit is providing a fine mesh barrier that keeps harvests safe without blocking sunlight or air circulation, ensuring healthier growth. A potential caveat is that while effective against most common garden pests, very small insects might still pass through the mesh.

The mesh is fine enough to deter birds and larger pests but is not specified for exact insect sizes. It allows sunlight and air circulation.
Yes, absolutely. It is suitable for protecting vegetable patches, newly seeded areas, and young plants from various garden pests.
The netting is UV-stabilised and rot-proof, designed for repeated outdoor use throughout the growing season. With proper care and storage, it can be reused for several years.
The black colour is primarily for aesthetic blending into the garden. It does not significantly restrict sunlight or air circulation required for plant growth.
You can rinse the netting with water to remove dirt and debris. Allow it to dry completely before storing it.
Yes, the fine mesh is designed to allow pollinators and other beneficial insects to pass through while excluding larger pests.
Gently try to untangle it. If it's severely tangled, you may need to cut away the tangled section carefully. Store it loosely coiled to prevent future tangles.
Ensure all edges are securely anchored using garden pegs, weights, or by burying the edges slightly in the soil. For larger areas, consider using additional support stakes.
This netting is designed for birds and larger pests. For smaller insects, consider using a finer mesh fabric or a combination of deterrents. Ensure there are no gaps where small pests can enter.
Handle the netting with care, especially around thorny plants or sharp edges. Trim any loose threads or snags carefully with scissors to prevent further tearing.
Ensure the netting is stored out of direct sunlight during the off-season. If used constantly outdoors year-round, UV degradation will eventually occur, and replacement may be needed after several seasons.
Setup:
Unroll the netting carefully to avoid tangles. Drape it directly over plants, hoops, frames, or raised beds. Secure the edges using garden pegs, stones, or weights to create a snug fit that pests cannot penetrate. The netting can be easily cut with scissors to achieve the desired size and shape for your specific application.
Compatibility:
This netting is compatible with various garden structures including plant cages, tunnels, frames, and raised beds. It is suitable for use over a wide range of fruit plants (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cherries) and vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, leafy greens), as well as newly seeded areas.
Care:
To ensure longevity, clean the netting annually by rinsing it with water to remove soil and debris. Store the netting in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, during the off-season. Inspect for any damage before storing and before reuse.
