Butterfly Netting - Black - 19m

The mesh is described as 'fine', designed to physically block butterflies and insects while allowing light, air, and rain to pass through. Specific micron measurements are not provided, but it is suitable for preventing egg-laying on crops.

While the fine mesh offers some protection, its primary design is for smaller insects. For bird protection, netting with larger mesh might be more appropriate, but this fine mesh will deter birds from landing directly on vulnerable plants.

The netting is made from UV-stabilised polyethylene and is rot-proof and weather-resistant, designed for use over multiple growing seasons when properly cared for and stored.

The black colour is primarily for aesthetic and potentially minor light-filtering purposes. The material is designed to allow sufficient light, air, and rain to reach the plants, ensuring healthy growth.

Yes, the fine mesh is permeable, allowing water from overhead irrigation systems to reach the plants. Ensure the netting is secured in a way that does not impede the sprinkler heads.

The product is 19 meters in length.

No, the netting is designed as a physical barrier and does not use chemicals for pest control. It is an eco-friendly solution.

Ensure all edges of the netting are securely anchored to the ground using pegs, weights, or soil. Check for any gaps or loose sections and re-secure them.

Verify that the netting is not overly compacted or damp. The UV-stabilised polyethylene mesh is designed to be breathable; ensure it is not entirely sealed or covered by debris.

Although designed not to fray, sharp objects can still cause tears. Carefully mend small tears with UV-resistant tape or by stitching. For larger tears, consider cutting out the damaged section and using the remaining netting elsewhere, or patching it.

Ensure the netting is laid out flat before draping. If using over hoops or frames, ensure the structure is stable and provides adequate support to prevent sagging.
