Troubleshooting

Netting appears to be entangling birds.

Ensure the netting is installed with sufficient slack for plant growth and is not pulled too taut. Secure all edges firmly to prevent birds from getting underneath or caught in loose sections.

Netting is difficult to lay flat over crops.

Use garden pegs, rocks, or soil to secure the edges. Consider using it with garden hoops or a frame for better support and tension.

Bees seem to be struggling to find their way through.

While designed to allow bee passage, ensure there are no large clumps of netting or debris blocking the mesh. Gently check and clear any potential obstructions.
