Product Information
Full details
Dekton Garden Netting is designed for home gardeners and allotment owners looking to protect their harvest from common garden pests like birds and insects. This versatile 4M x 5M netting serves as an effective barrier for vegetable patches, fruit trees, and newly planted seeds, while also providing beneficial shade and wind protection. While it is highly effective at pest control, users should note that the lightweight material requires secure anchoring during high-wind conditions to prevent it from shifting or lifting off garden beds.

FAQs
Can the netting be cut without fraying?
Yes, the mesh is designed to be easily cut with scissors. Minimal fraying may occur, but it does not affect the performance of the net.
Is this netting safe for pollinators?
While the net keeps birds and insects out, it is recommended to remove the netting during flowering periods if your plants require pollination by bees.
Can I wash the netting?
Yes, you can rinse it with a hose and mild water to remove dust or organic matter.
Will this protect against deer or rabbits?
No, this netting is designed for birds and insects; it is not strong enough to deter larger mammals like deer or rabbits.
Does it block sunlight?
It provides shade to prevent sun-scorch but is breathable enough to allow sufficient light for photosynthesis.
What is the best way to store it?
Fold the net once it is completely dry and store it in a container or bag in a cool, dry shed or garage.
Troubleshooting
Netting is blowing away in the wind
Use more garden stakes or ground anchors along the perimeter to keep the net firmly flush with the soil.
Birds are still reaching the plants
Ensure the netting is not touching the leaves directly and verify that no gaps exist at the edges of the beds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: unroll the 4M x 5M sheet over your designated area. Use sharp scissors to trim any excess material if applying to smaller, raised garden beds. To ensure compatibility with various garden layouts, avoid pulling the netting too tightly, as this can compress foliage; instead, use stakes or support hoops to keep the mesh suspended above the plants.
For care and maintenance, shake off excess dirt or debris after harvest. If the net becomes soiled, rinse it gently with water and allow it to air dry completely in the sun before folding for storage. Proper storage in a dry, dark place will preserve the material integrity for future seasons.
