FAQs

Can I walk on this netting?

No, this netting is strictly for debris and predator control and is not designed to support the weight of humans, children, or pets.

Does this netting rust or rot?

No, the polyethylene material is rot-proof and UV-stabilised to prevent degradation from sun exposure and moisture.

Can I use this for my vegetable garden?

Yes, it is excellent for protecting crops from birds and pests throughout the growing season.

Will the netting fray if I cut it?

The material is designed to be cut to size without fraying, allowing for a clean, custom fit for your specific space.

Is this effective against herons?

Yes, the net acts as an effective deterrent against herons and other birds by preventing them from easily accessing the fish in your pond.

How should I clean the netting?

You can clean the netting by spraying it down with a garden hose to remove mud or small debris before storing it away.

Troubleshooting

Netting sagging in the middle of the pond

Increase tension by securing the edges more tightly or add a small floating support structure, such as a garden ball, in the center of the pond to hold the net up.

Wildlife getting caught in the mesh

Ensure the netting is pulled taut and pinned closely to the ground around the entire perimeter so there are no loose gaps for animals to enter.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • UV-stabilised material resists rotting and weather damage
  • Easy to cut and customize without fraying
  • Provides an effective layer of protection against predators
  • Multi-purpose use for ponds, vegetable gardens, and flower beds
  • Lightweight and simple to install

Cons

  • Not intended to support the weight of children or pets
  • Requires separate purchase of securing pegs if not included in your specific kit
  • May require periodic adjustment to maintain tension over larger ponds

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is simple: spread the netting over your desired area and secure the edges firmly into the ground using lawn or landscape pegs. When measuring your space, ensure you account for the perimeter of the pond or garden bed, allowing a slight overlap for anchoring. To maintain the netting, periodically clear large accumulated debris from the top to prevent it from sagging. After the season ends, the netting can be cleaned with a hose, dried, and folded for compact storage. Ensure you check the netting regularly for signs of wear if it is placed near sharp rocks or aggressive ornamental foliage.
