FAQs

Can I use this netting on fruit bush cages, walk-in cages or garden hoops?

Yes, this netting is suitable for use on any garden cage or hoops. Its flexible nature allows it to be easily shaped and secured around various garden structures.

What is garden bird netting used for?

Garden bird netting is used to protect fruit trees, vegetable beds, and flowers from damage caused by pigeons and other birds, while still allowing sunlight, air, and rain to reach the plants.

Why choose 20mm bird netting specifically?

The 20mm x 20mm mesh size is chosen to effectively protect crops from birds while being large enough to allow bees and other pollinators to pass through freely for essential pollination.

Is this bird netting safe for wildlife?

Yes, the netting is designed to be safe for wildlife. The 20mm mesh prevents birds from accessing crops, and it allows pollinators to pass through unharmed. However, ensure proper installation to avoid accidental entanglement of small creatures.

Can this bird netting be reused?

Yes, the netting is made from UV-stabilised HDPE and features double-stitched edges, making it durable and suitable for reuse over multiple growing seasons.

How is the netting supplied?

It is supplied by the metre in one continuous length. Each length includes a 25% over-cut to allow for stretching during installation and ensure full coverage when secured.

What colours are available?

This specific product is black, which helps it blend discreetly into garden environments.

Troubleshooting

Netting is sagging or not covering crops adequately.

Ensure the netting is stretched taut during installation. Utilize the provided over-cut length and secure firmly with pegs or clips around the perimeter. Add additional support stakes if necessary.

Birds are still getting through the netting.

Check for any gaps or holes in the netting or where it meets the ground. Ensure all edges are securely fastened and buried slightly or weighted down. Verify that the netting is large enough to fully enclose the area without creating gaps.

Netting seems to be hindering pollinator access.

Confirm the mesh size is indeed 20mm x 20mm. Ensure the netting is not pressed directly against flowers, allowing pollinators ample space to navigate.

Netting is difficult to cut cleanly.

Use a sharp pair of scissors or a craft knife for a cleaner cut. Avoid using dull blades which can snag and distort the mesh.

Pros and Cons

Allows pollinators and essential weather elements to reach plants.
Durable and UV-stabilised for extended outdoor use.
Designed for easy cutting and installation with extra length for stretching.
Reusable over multiple growing seasons, offering good value.
Safe for wildlife when installed correctly.

Cons

Requires careful installation to prevent entanglement of wildlife.

The 20mm mesh, while good for pollinators, may not stop smaller pest insects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unroll the netting carefully to avoid tangles. Cut to the desired length using sharp scissors or a utility knife. Drape the netting over your plants, fruit cages, or frames, ensuring it reaches the ground or is securely fastened. Use pegs, clips, or ties to anchor the edges and prevent wind from lifting it. Allow some slack for plant growth and to accommodate the 25% over-cut for stretching.

Compatibility: This netting is compatible with various garden structures, including raised beds, fruit trees, vegetable patches, garden hoops, walk-in cages, and greenhouse frames.

Care: After the growing season, carefully remove the netting. Clean off any soil or debris with a soft brush or by gently hosing it down. Store the netting in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve its UV stability and extend its lifespan for future use.
