Product Information

Full details

This Pegdev Strawberry Netting is designed for home gardeners and allotment holders looking to protect their fruit plants, crops, and garden beds from birds and other pests. Its key benefit is providing a gentle, physical barrier that allows essential sunlight and air circulation while deterring pests. A minor consideration is that it requires manual securing, such as with pegs or stones. The netting is UV-stabilised, rot-proof polyethylene, making it durable for repeated outdoor use, and can be cut to size for versatile application across various garden areas.

FAQs

What material is the netting made from?

The netting is made from UV-stabilised and rot-proof polyethylene.

Can I use this netting for insects as well as birds?

Yes, it acts as a barrier for various garden pests, including birds and some larger insects. For very fine insects, ensure the mesh is tightly sealed.

How do I secure the netting in place?

You can secure it using garden pegs, stones, bricks, or by tucking the edges under the base of plants or raised beds.

Is the netting harmful to plants?

No, the netting provides a gentle physical barrier and allows for air and sunlight, which is essential for plant health. It does not harm plants.

Can I cut the netting to a specific size?

Yes, the netting can be easily cut to any size or shape required for your garden using scissors or a sharp knife.

How should I store the netting when not in use?

After cleaning off debris, store the netting in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, to ensure its longevity for future seasons.

Will the green colour stand out too much in my garden?

The netting features a black mesh design which is intended to blend naturally into most garden environments.

Troubleshooting

Netting is difficult to cut cleanly

Use sharp scissors or a craft knife for precise cutting. Ensure the netting is laid flat on a stable surface before cutting.

Birds are still accessing plants through gaps

Ensure the netting is secured tightly to the ground or structure, eliminating all potential entry points. Consider using heavier objects like rocks or bricks to seal the edges completely.

Netting appears to be degrading quickly

Ensure the netting is being stored correctly during off-seasons, protected from extreme temperatures and UV exposure. Check for accidental damage from sharp objects or tools.

Difficulty in covering irregular shapes

The netting is designed to be cut. Measure and cut pieces to fit complex shapes, overlapping slightly and securing edges to maintain coverage.
