Product Information

Full details

The Pegdev Strawberry Netting is designed for home gardeners seeking to protect soft fruits like strawberries and raspberries, as well as vegetable patches and young plants, from birds and pests. Its primary benefit is providing a physical barrier that ensures a healthy harvest without blocking essential sunlight or air circulation. A minor caveat is that very small pests might still find a way through the fine mesh, though it's highly effective against birds. Key features include UV-stabilised, rot-proof polyethylene construction for durability, a fine mesh size for effective pest deterrence, and versatility for use over plants, frames, or beds.

What should I do with the netting during the off-season?

Is this netting safe for organic gardening?

Troubleshooting

Netting is not staying in place in windy conditions.

Ensure the edges are thoroughly secured with sufficient pegs, weights, or by burying the edges slightly into the soil.

Birds are still managing to get to some fruit.

Check for any gaps or holes in the netting. Ensure it is draped low enough to cover the entire plant or bed, and that there are no easy access points from the sides or underneath.

Netting is difficult to cut cleanly.

Use sharp fabric scissors or a utility knife for a clean cut. Avoid using dull blades which can snag the material.

Pros and Cons

Effective protection against birds and larger garden pests.
Allows sunlight and air circulation, crucial for plant health.
Durable, UV-stabilised, and rot-proof material for long-term use.
Easy to install and cut to fit various garden setups.
Reusable and chemical-free solution.

Cons

May not prevent very small insects or slugs.
Requires securing methods (pegs, weights) to stay in place.
Can potentially snag on sharp plant thorns if not handled carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Unroll the netting carefully to avoid tangles.
Drape the netting directly over plants, frames, or raised beds, ensuring full coverage.
Secure the edges using garden pegs, stones, or weights to create a snug fit and prevent wind from lifting it.
If necessary, cut the netting to the desired size using sharp scissors or a knife.

Compatibility:

Ideal for strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and other soft fruits.
Suitable for protecting vegetable patches, including leafy greens, root vegetables, and young plants.
Can be used over cold frames, cloches, or custom-built garden structures.

Care:

After the growing season, remove the netting and clean off any debris.
Store in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prolong its lifespan.
Inspect for any tears or damage before storing and before next use. The rot-proof nature means minimal degradation even if stored slightly damp, but dry storage is recommended.
