The netting comes in a convenient 2m width.

What types of pests does this netting protect against?

It provides protection against a variety of garden pests, including insects and birds.

Does the netting block sunlight and airflow?

No, the open mesh construction allows for optimal airflow and sunlight penetration while still offering protection.

How much does a roll of netting weigh?

Each roll weighs approximately 6kg, making it manageable for installation.

How should I store the netting when not in use?

Store the netting in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its UV resistance and extend its lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Netting is not staying in place.

Ensure edges are secured firmly to the ground with adequate pegs or weights. Consider using additional stakes or poles to support the structure and keep the netting taut.

Pests are still getting through.

Check for any gaps or holes in the netting, especially at the edges or where sections are joined. Ensure the netting is securely anchored to the ground to prevent entry from below.

Netting appears to be degrading quickly.

Ensure the netting is indeed UV-stabilised. If stored improperly (e.g., left outdoors in direct sun), its lifespan may be reduced. Proper storage during off-seasons is crucial.

Difficulty in handling or maneuvering the netting.

While designed for ease of handling, for very large installations, having a second person can make the process much simpler and safer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective protection against a variety of pests including birds and insects.
  • UV stabilization ensures longevity and resistance to sun damage.
  • Allows essential airflow and sunlight to reach plants, promoting healthy growth.
  • Durable construction means it can be reused over multiple seasons.
  • Easy to cut and adapt to different garden shapes and sizes.
  • Lightweight enough for individual installation.

Cons

  • Fixed 2m width may require joining for wider areas, potentially creating weak points.
  • While heavy-duty, it can still be susceptible to damage from larger animals or extreme weather.
  • Requires proper installation and securing to remain effective against determined pests.
  • May snag on sharp objects or rough surfaces during handling.
  • Initial cost might be higher than lighter-duty netting options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unroll the netting carefully. Use stakes, poles, or hoops to create a frame over your plants or garden beds, ensuring the netting is taut but not overly stretched. Secure the edges firmly to the ground using pegs or weights to prevent pests from entering underneath. For larger areas, you may need to overlap sections and secure them together.

Compatibility: This netting is compatible with most garden structures like hooped tunnels, garden frames, and netting cages. It can be used over a wide range of crops, including vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers.

Care: After the growing season, carefully remove the netting. Clean off any soil or debris with a soft brush or by gently rinsing with water. Store the netting in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its UV resistance and prolong its lifespan.
