Troubleshooting

Netting is too heavy to handle

Consider cutting the netting into smaller sections or enlist assistance from another person for installation and handling.

Netting is not staying in place

Use more stakes or pegs around the perimeter, or bury the edges of the netting more deeply into the soil.

Pests are still getting through

Ensure there are no gaps or holes in the netting. Verify that the mesh size is appropriate for the specific pest you are trying to exclude. Check if the netting is sealed to the ground effectively.

Netting is difficult to cut cleanly

Use sharp scissors or a utility knife for a cleaner cut. Be cautious when cutting to avoid personal injury.
