Product Information

Full details

The Pegdev Strawberry Netting is an essential tool for home gardeners and allotment owners looking to protect soft fruits and vegetable patches from bird damage and small pests. By providing a physical barrier that allows for essential sunlight and air circulation, it ensures healthy plant growth without the need for chemical deterrents; however, users should be mindful that the fine mesh requires careful handling to prevent snagging on thorns or rigid garden structures.

FAQs

Can I wash the netting?

Yes, you can gently rinse the netting with water and a mild soap if it becomes dirty, then allow it to air dry completely before storing.

Is this netting safe for bees and pollinators?

While it keeps birds out, it is recommended to lift or open sections of the netting when plants are in full bloom to ensure pollinators can access the flowers.

Will the pink colour affect plant growth?

No, the colour is for identification and aesthetic purposes and does not interfere with the plant's photosynthesis process.

Can I cut this netting without it fraying?

Yes, the material is designed to be cut to size without significant fraying, though using sharp scissors ensures the cleanest edge.

How long will this netting last?

Because it is UV-stabilised and rot-proof, it is designed to last for several growing seasons if handled and stored with care.

Troubleshooting

Netting keeps snagging on plants

Smooth out rough edges on wooden garden beds or support frames using sandpaper, and use smoother materials like plastic or rounded stakes.

Birds are getting underneath the edges

Use ground pegs or landscape staples every 30cm to ensure the netting is flush against the soil perimeter.

Netting feels loose or droops

Tighten the netting by pulling it taut across your supports and secure it with garden twine or clips to maintain a uniform barrier.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • UV-stabilised for long-lasting outdoor durability
  • Allows sunlight and rain to reach plants effectively
  • Highly versatile and can be cut to custom sizes
  • Reusable across multiple seasons
  • Safe alternative to chemical pest deterrents

Cons

  • Material may snag on sharp thorns or rough timber edges
  • Requires support structures for best results on taller plants
  • Limited coverage area per unit (3m length)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your netting, measure the area of your garden bed and cut the mesh with sharp scissors, leaving an extra 10-20cm on all sides for securing. Avoid stretching the mesh excessively, as this can widen the holes and reduce its effectiveness against smaller pests. The netting is fully compatible with raised beds, hoop houses, and direct-to-ground layouts. For care and maintenance, remove the netting carefully at the end of the harvest season to avoid tears. Shake off any debris, fold it neatly, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight during the winter months to extend its lifespan.
