FAQs
What is the mesh size of this product?
The mesh features 50mm square holes.
What are the dimensions of the mesh?
The mesh comes in a roll measuring 5 meters in length by 1 meter in width.
What materials is the mesh made from?
The product description indicates it is made from tough, unspecified material suitable for garden use.
How long will this mesh last?
The product comes with a five-year guarantee, suggesting a long lifespan under normal garden conditions.
Can this mesh be used for permanent fencing?
While durable, it's primarily designed for garden tasks like plant support and temporary barriers. For heavy-duty, permanent fencing, stronger materials might be more appropriate.
Is the green color suitable for blending into a garden?
The green color is intended to blend with foliage, making it less obtrusive in a garden setting.
What kind of plants is this mesh best suited for supporting?
It is ideal for supporting loose climbing flowers, broad beans, high crops, and other climbing vegetables.
Troubleshooting
Mesh is sagging or not holding tension.
Ensure support posts are firmly secured in the ground and consider adding more anchor points or increasing the tension when initially installing.
Mesh is difficult to cut.
Use sharp scissors, shears, or a utility knife. Ensure the mesh is laid flat for a clean cut.
Small pests are still getting through.
This mesh is designed for birds and small mammals. For smaller insects or pests, a finer mesh or alternative protection method may be required.
Mesh is becoming brittle over time.
While durable, prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays can degrade plastic over time. Proper storage during off-seasons can help extend its life.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
