FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this netting?

Its primary purpose is to protect fruit plants, crops, and garden beds from birds and other garden pests without harming them.

Can I cut the netting to size?

Yes, the netting is designed to be cut to any size or shape using scissors or a knife, making it highly versatile for different garden needs.

Will the netting block sunlight and air?

No, the fine mesh is designed to allow sunlight and air circulation to pass through, ensuring healthy plant growth while providing protection.

How do I secure the netting in my garden?

You can secure the netting using garden pegs, weights, stones, or by tucking the edges under soil.

Is this netting suitable for all types of plants?

How should I store the netting when not in use?

Store the netting in a dry location, away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals, during the off-season to maintain its condition.

What material is the netting made from?

The netting is made from durable, rot-proof, and UV-stabilised polyethylene.

Troubleshooting

Netting is not staying in place.

Ensure the edges are securely weighed down with soil, stones, or garden weights. For taller structures, use garden pegs to anchor the netting to the ground or frame.

Small pests or birds are still getting through.

Check for any gaps or holes in the netting coverage, especially around the base. Ensure the mesh is fully enclosing the plants and secured tightly.

Netting seems to be degrading quickly.

While UV-stabilized, prolonged exposure to extreme sunlight and weather can impact longevity. Ensure proper storage during off-seasons to maximize its lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Unroll the netting and carefully drape it over your plants, garden beds, or frames. Ensure complete coverage to create an effective barrier. Secure the edges using garden pegs, stones, or weights to prevent pests from gaining access underneath. The netting can be cut to the desired size using scissors or a knife for a custom fit.

Compatibility: This netting is compatible with most garden setups, including raised beds, ground-level planting, fruit cages, and garden frames. It is suitable for protecting a wide variety of fruit plants (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), vegetables (tomatoes, lettuce, beans), and young trees or shrubs.

Care: To maintain the netting's integrity, clean off any significant soil or debris after use. Store the netting in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals, during the off-season. This will help preserve its UV resistance and durability for future use.
