Product Information

Full details

This heavy-duty poultry and fruit netting from Gardening Naturally is for gardeners and poultry keepers needing robust crop and enclosure protection. Its key benefit is providing a 17mm mesh that deters birds and contains poultry while maintaining airflow and light. A caveat is that for complete fruit cage roof protection against smaller birds, pairing with dedicated bird netting is recommended. This versatile, UV-resistant plastic netting is ideal for chicken runs, fruit cages, and allotment growing areas, offering durable, year-round use.

FAQs

What is the mesh size of this netting?

The mesh size is 17mm x 17mm (approximately 0.67 inches x 0.67 inches).

Can this netting be used for larger poultry like geese or ducks?

Yes, the 17mm mesh is suitable for containing most common poultry breeds, including ducks and geese, effectively preventing them from escaping their enclosures.

Will this netting protect my fruit from all types of birds?

It effectively deters many common garden birds. However, very small birds might still be able to penetrate the 17mm mesh. For complete protection against all small bird species, consider pairing it with a finer mesh bird netting, especially for fruit cage roofs.

How is this netting typically installed?

It can be cut to size and secured using ties, clips, S hooks, staples (on wooden frames), or other suitable fasteners to keep it stretched tightly and stable along the frame or enclosure.

Is the netting UV resistant?

The product description indicates it is made from toughened plastic and designed for routine outdoor use, suggesting good resistance to weathering and UV exposure, though prolonged intense sun may eventually degrade it.

Can I use this netting for vegetable patches?

Yes, it is suitable for protecting vegetable patches and raised beds from birds and other pests, while still allowing sunlight and airflow.

What are the dimensions of the specific product variant mentioned?

The specific product variant mentioned in the description is 1m x 10m (3ft 3in x 32ft 10in).

Troubleshooting

Netting sags or is not holding tension.

Ensure the netting is adequately secured at multiple points along the frame or posts. Re-tension and add more fixing points if necessary. Check that the frame itself is stable.

Small birds are still accessing the fruit cage.

This netting is designed for poultry containment and deterring larger birds. For complete protection against very small birds, consider adding a finer mesh bird netting specifically designed for fruit cages over the top or in conjunction with this netting.

Netting is difficult to cut cleanly.

Use a sharp pair of shears or a utility knife. Ensure the netting is laid flat on a stable surface before cutting.

Netting appears damaged after initial use.

Inspect the area for potential causes, such as sharp edges on the frame or pest activity. Repair small tears carefully with strong tape or by weaving the ends back together. Ensure proper installation to avoid stress points.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Unroll the netting carefully to avoid tangles.
Measure and cut the netting to your required size using sharp shears or a utility knife.
Secure the netting tautly to your desired frame, fence, or posts. Use sturdy ties, clips, S hooks, or staples for wood. Ensure there are no large gaps.
For fruit cages, consider reinforcing the roof with additional, finer bird netting if small birds are a persistent issue.

Compatibility:

Suitable for use with wooden frames, metal posts, existing fencing, and ground stakes.
Compatible with various fixing accessories like cable ties, hog rings, and specialized netting clips.
Can be used in conjunction with other protective garden materials.

Care:

After use, carefully remove the netting, cleaning off any soil or debris.
Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong its lifespan.
Inspect for any tears or damage before storing or reusing. Minor repairs can often be made with strong tape or by re-tying sections.
