The Pegdev Butterfly Netting is an essential garden tool for home growers and allotment holders looking to protect brassicas and leafy vegetables from cabbage white butterflies and other insect pests without using harsh chemicals. By providing a durable physical barrier, this lightweight netting allows essential light, air, and moisture to reach your plants, ensuring healthy development. While it is highly effective at stopping pests, users should note that the netting requires a proper support structure or careful draping to ensure it does not snag on plant stems or thorns.

No, the netting is designed with a fine mesh that allows sufficient light for photosynthesis while keeping insects out.
Yes, the material is weather-resistant and rot-proof, so it can be left outside during rain without degrading.
You can use standard household scissors to cut the netting. It is designed not to fray once cut.
This netting is specifically designed for butterflies and larger insects; very tiny pests like aphids may still pass through the mesh.
It is intended for growing season protection, but it can be stored easily during the winter months for future use.
Yes, as long as it is cleaned and stored properly, the durable material is designed for multiple seasons of use.
Ensure the edges are buried or secured using heavy-duty garden pegs or landscaping staples every 12 inches.
Check the perimeter for gaps and ensure no lower branches are touching the ground where pests can enter.
Install a raised frame or hoops to keep the netting elevated above the foliage.
To install, clear the area of debris and ensure your plants are upright. Place your support structures, drape the Pegdev Butterfly Netting over the top, and anchor the edges firmly to the ground to keep pests from crawling underneath.
For maintenance, avoid using sharp tools near the mesh that could cause tears. If the netting becomes soiled with soil or mud, simply rinse it with a garden hose and let it air dry completely before folding it away for winter. Storing it in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight will extend the lifespan of the material.
