FAQs

What types of pests does this netting protect against?

The netting is designed to protect against a variety of garden pests, including birds, insects (like caterpillars, aphids, and cabbage butterflies), and other small to medium-sized animals that can damage crops.

How does the open mesh benefit my plants?

The open mesh construction allows for essential airflow and sunlight to penetrate, which is crucial for photosynthesis, pollination, and preventing the build-up of excess moisture and heat around your plants, thus promoting healthier growth.

Can this netting be used for all types of plants?

Yes, this netting is versatile and suitable for protecting a wide range of plants, including vegetables, fruits, herbs, and ornamental plants, from seedling stage to maturity.

What are the dimensions of the netting?

The netting comes in a standard width of 2 meters and is available in various lengths to suit different gardening needs. Please check the product details for specific length options.

Is the material safe for organic gardening?

The netting is made from UV-stabilised polyethylene monofilaments. While it provides a physical barrier and does not contain harmful chemicals, it is recommended to consult specific organic gardening standards if you have strict guidelines.

How heavy is a typical roll?

Each roll weighs approximately 6kg, making it manageable for most individuals to handle and install in their garden.

What is the expected lifespan of the netting?

Due to its UV-stabilised construction, the netting is designed for durability and longevity. With proper care and storage, it can last for several growing seasons, though its lifespan will depend on environmental factors and usage.

Troubleshooting

Netting is not staying secured to the ground.

Use more garden stakes or pegs, ensuring they are firmly inserted into the soil. Consider burying the edges of the netting slightly into the soil for a more robust seal.

Small pests are still getting through.

Ensure there are no gaps between the netting and the ground. Check for tears or holes in the netting and repair them promptly. Very small insects might require a finer mesh netting or a more complete seal.

Netting appears to be sagging significantly.

Add additional support structures like garden stakes or poles, or tighten the netting if it is attached to a frame. Ensure the weight is distributed evenly.

Material seems to be degrading faster than expected.

Ensure the netting is not constantly exposed to extreme weather conditions without support. Store it properly during off-seasons. Check for any manufacturing defects.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent protection against a wide range of garden pests.
  • UV-stabilized material ensures durability and longevity in outdoor conditions.
  • Allows essential airflow and sunlight, promoting healthy plant growth.
  • Available in multiple lengths to accommodate various garden sizes.
  • Easy to install and manage due to its manageable weight and flexible nature.

Cons

  • May not withstand extremely severe weather conditions like heavy hail or strong winds without additional support.
  • While durable, prolonged exposure to harsh elements could eventually degrade the material.
  • Requires proper installation to maintain its effectiveness as a barrier.
  • The mesh size, while allowing airflow, might permit very small crawling insects if not secured properly at the base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unroll the netting carefully to avoid tangling.
  2. Determine the area or specific plants requiring protection.
  3. Drape the netting over plants, crops, or garden structures (like hoops or frames).
  4. Secure the edges firmly to the ground using garden stakes, pegs, or by burying the edges to prevent pests from entering underneath.
  5. Ensure the netting is taut but not overly stretched to maintain its protective integrity.

Compatibility:

This netting is compatible with most garden setups, including raised beds, ground-level gardens, fruit cages, and row covers. It can be used in conjunction with garden stakes, poles, or custom-built frames for added support.

Care:

  • Clean the netting periodically with a mild soap and water solution to remove dirt and debris, especially at the end of a growing season.
  • Inspect for any damage or wear and tear before and after each use.
  • Store the netting in a dry, shaded area when not in use to prolong its lifespan and protect it from excessive UV degradation.
