Product Information

Full details

The Pegdev Protective Pond Netting is designed for garden owners seeking a practical, durable solution to keep their ponds clean and protect aquatic life. Its primary benefit is preventing debris like leaves and twigs from entering the water, which in turn reduces water contamination and algae growth. A key caveat is that this netting is not a safety barrier for children or pets and should not be relied upon for that purpose. Key features include its UV-stabilised, rot-proof polyethylene mesh, easy customisation, and dual-use as garden pest protection.

FAQs

What material is the netting made from?

The netting is made from UV-stabilised polyethylene mesh.

Can this netting be used as a safety barrier?

No, this netting is not designed to support the weight of children or pets and should not be used as a safety barrier.

How do I clean the pond netting?

You can clean the netting by rinsing it with water to remove dirt and debris. Allow it to dry completely before storing.

Will the netting fray if I cut it?

No, the lightweight and flexible construction means it can be cut to any shape or size without fraying.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's warranty information for specific details, as this is not provided in the product description.

Can this netting be used in winter?

Yes, the rot-proof and UV-stabilised material is built for long-lasting outdoor use, including through harsh weather conditions in autumn and winter.

Does the product come with pegs for securing it?

The product description mentions securing with pegs, but does not specify if pegs are included. It is recommended to check the product packaging or inquire with the retailer.

Troubleshooting

Netting is sagging or not fitting snugly.

Ensure enough pegs or weights are used around the entire perimeter. Re-trim if the netting is too large for the area.

Small debris is still entering the pond.

Check if the mesh is properly stretched and secured. For very fine debris, consider a finer mesh net if available, or double-layering.

Predators are still finding a way to access pond life.

Ensure there are no gaps or loose areas in the netting. Consider using additional deterrents in conjunction with the netting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unroll the netting and determine the desired coverage area.
  2. If necessary, cut the netting to size using sharp scissors or a utility knife. The material will not fray.
  3. Lay the netting directly over the pond or garden area.
  4. Secure the perimeter using garden pegs or weights to ensure a snug fit and prevent wind from lifting it.

Compatibility:

This netting is suitable for various water features, including ponds, small lakes, water gardens, and decorative fountains. It can also be used for garden beds, vegetable patches, fruit cages, and protecting young trees or shrubs.

Care:

  • Clean the netting periodically by rinsing it with water to remove accumulated dirt or debris.
  • Store in a dry place when not in use for extended periods to prolong its lifespan.
  • Inspect for any damage before each installation.
