This Pegdev Butterfly Netting is designed for home gardeners and allotment holders seeking a chemical-free method to protect vegetables and plants from butterflies and other insect pests. Its key benefit is providing a physical barrier that prevents egg-laying on crops while allowing essential light, air, and rain to reach plants. A potential caveat is that the fine mesh, while effective, may require careful handling to avoid snagging.

The netting can be cut to any size required, as it does not fray. Please refer to the product packaging for specific dimensions if available.
It is primarily designed to deter butterflies and prevent egg-laying, thereby reducing caterpillar populations. It may also deter other larger flying insects.
Made from UV-stabilised polyethylene, the netting is designed to be reusable, rot-proof, and weather-resistant, offering protection for multiple growing seasons when properly cared for.
Yes, but it is recommended to secure the edges firmly with pegs, weights, or by attaching it to a sturdy frame to prevent it from being blown away.
No, the fine mesh allows water, air, and light to pass through freely, so you can water your plants as usual.
Clean the netting, ensure it is dry, and fold it neatly. Store it in a dry location away from direct sunlight and sharp objects to maintain its condition.
The colour does not impact the protective function; it is primarily an aesthetic choice for the product variant.
Use a lightweight frame or hoops to support the netting, preventing it from crushing the plants.
Ensure the edges of the netting are securely anchored to the ground with pegs or weights, and check for any tears or holes that need patching.
Handle the netting with care, especially around thorny plants or garden tools. Trim any rough edges on nearby structures.
Ensure the netting is taut and not excessively layered. The fine mesh is designed to allow sufficient light; if issues persist, consider a lighter shade or ensuring adequate sunlight hours.
