The netting is crafted from UV-stabilised polyethylene with a fine mesh, allowing light, air, and rain to pass through while blocking pests.

The primary purpose is to create a physical barrier that prevents butterflies and other insects from laying eggs on your vegetable crops, thus protecting them from caterpillar damage.
Yes, the netting is made from UV-stabilised polyethylene and allows light, air, and rain to pass through, ensuring a healthy growing environment for your plants without chemical interference.
You can drape it directly over crops or frames and secure the edges using garden pegs, stones, bricks, or by burying the edges in the soil to form a complete seal.
Yes, the netting is lightweight and flexible, and can be easily cut to fit any area without fraying.
The netting is reusable, rot-proof, and weather-resistant, designed for use throughout the growing season and for many seasons to come.
It is ideal for protecting crops such as cabbages, broccoli, other brassicas, beans, peas, and lettuce, but can be used for various other vegetables and plants susceptible to insect pests.
The fine mesh acts as a barrier against butterflies and larger insects that lay eggs. It is highly effective for its intended purpose of preventing infestations from pests like caterpillars.
Ensure the edges are securely fastened using adequate pegs, weights, or by burying them deeply into the soil. Check for wind exposure and add more securing points if needed.
Verify that there are no gaps around the perimeter. Ensure the netting is tucked well under soil, weighted down securely, or adequately pegged to the ground to create a sealed barrier.
Confirm that the netting is allowing sufficient light and air penetration. Ensure it is not sagging excessively onto the plants, restricting their space. Adjust the supports if using a frame.
For minor tears, consider using UV-resistant tape or sewing a patch to prevent further enlargement and maintain the barrier's integrity. If damage is significant, replacement may be necessary.
