Product Information

Full details

The Pegdev Plants & Crops Protection Netting is designed for gardeners seeking robust defense against pests like insects and birds. Its key benefit is providing a physical barrier that allows essential airflow and sunlight to reach plants, promoting healthy growth. A potential consideration is its weight (approx. 6kg per roll), which may require assistance for installation. This netting is made from UV-stabilised polyethylene monofilaments, offered in a 2m width with various lengths to suit diverse garden sizes and crop types.

Troubleshooting

Netting is difficult to unroll or tangles easily.

Unroll slowly and carefully on a flat surface. If it is very cold, allow the netting to warm up slightly as the material can be stiffer when cold.

Pests are still getting through the netting.

Ensure the netting is fully secured at the ground level, with no gaps. Check for any tears or holes in the netting and repair them.

Netting is sagging and not covering plants properly.

Use additional stakes or a support structure to provide adequate tension and height. Ensure the netting is taut.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unroll the netting carefully to avoid tangling.
  2. Drape the netting over the plants or garden area needing protection.
  3. Secure the edges using pegs, stakes, or by burying them slightly in the soil to prevent pests from entering underneath.
  4. For larger areas or taller plants, consider using stakes or a frame to support the netting and maintain its shape.
