Can this netting protect against all types of pests?

It provides reliable protection against common garden pests like insects and birds. For very specific or tiny pests, verify the mesh opening size if critical.

How do I secure the netting in my garden?

You can use garden stakes, hoops, frames, pegs, or weights to secure the netting and anchor its edges to the ground.

Troubleshooting

Netting is not staying in place

Ensure all edges are securely anchored using garden pegs, weights, or by burying the edges. Consider adding more support stakes or a frame if the netting is sagging.

Small pests are still getting through

Check for any gaps or holes in the netting and repair them. Ensure the netting is sealed effectively at ground level. For very tiny pests, consider if a finer mesh might be necessary for specific applications.

Netting appears to be degrading faster than expected

Ensure the netting is the UV-stabilised version. Avoid prolonged contact with harsh chemicals. Store properly when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unroll the netting carefully to avoid tangles.
  2. Determine the area requiring protection.
  3. Use stakes, hoops, or frames to support the netting, creating a barrier around or over your plants.
  4. Secure the edges of the netting to the ground using pegs, stones, or by burying the edges slightly to prevent pests from crawling underneath.
  5. Ensure the netting is taut but does not constrict plant growth.

Compatibility:

This netting is compatible with most garden layouts, including raised beds, vegetable patches, fruit trees, and individual plants. It can be used in conjunction with other garden structures like trellises or supports.

Care:

To maintain the netting's effectiveness, periodically inspect it for tears or damage. Clean off any accumulated debris with water. Store in a dry place during the off-season to prolong its lifespan. Avoid using harsh chemicals for cleaning, as this may degrade the material.
