This green bird netting is for gardeners looking to protect their fruit and vegetables from bird damage. Its key benefit is effective crop protection while allowing essential pollination by bees. A minor caveat is its slightly smaller mesh size compared to black netting, which might be a consideration for specific pest control needs. This durable, tangle-free netting is robust yet lightweight, suitable for direct crop coverage or use with garden structures.

Unroll the netting slowly and carefully on a flat surface. If it becomes tangled, gently try to loosen the knots without forcing them.
Ensure the netting is securely fastened around the base and that there are no gaps. Check that sufficient slack has been left for plant growth and that the netting fully covers the affected area without touching the ripening crops directly.
Check that enough slack has been provided when initially installed. Adjust the netting to give plants more room to expand.
Setup: Unroll the netting carefully to avoid tangles. For direct crop application, lay the netting over plants, ensuring it is not stretched taut. Leave ample slack to allow for plant growth and movement. Secure the edges with garden staples, weights, or by tying it to stakes or frames. For use with hoops or cages, drape the netting over the structure and secure it around the base.
Compatibility: This netting is suitable for all garden types and can protect a wide range of fruits and vegetables. It is compatible with garden cloche hoops and custom-built garden cages. The mesh size is designed to be compatible with natural pollination processes, allowing bees to pass through.
Care: After the growing season, carefully remove the netting. Clean off any soil or debris using a damp cloth or by gently rinsing with water. Ensure the netting is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sharp objects, to maintain its durability.
