Product Information

Full details

The Pegdev Butterfly Netting is an essential tool for home gardeners and allotment holders looking to protect brassicas and vegetables from butterflies and caterpillars using a physical barrier rather than harsh chemicals. This lightweight, blue-tinted mesh provides a durable shield that allows air, water, and sunlight to reach your plants, though users should ensure it is securely fastened to prevent pests from finding gaps along the ground.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this netting block sunlight?

No, the mesh is designed to be permeable, allowing sufficient light and rain to reach your plants for healthy development.

Can I use this for birds as well?

While this is a fine-mesh butterfly net, it acts as a general physical barrier and may deter birds, though dedicated bird netting may be more robust for larger wildlife.

Will the edges fray when I cut it?

No, the material is specifically designed to be cut to size without fraying.

How do I store the netting in winter?

Shake off any debris, fold the netting neatly, and store it in a dry container or shed.

Can this be used on climbing plants?

Yes, but ensure you create a frame or support structure so the netting does not restrict the growth of the climbing plants.

Troubleshooting

Butterflies are getting underneath the netting.

Ensure the edges are buried or weighed down completely. Any gap larger than a few centimeters can allow pests to crawl underneath.

Netting is touching plant leaves, and caterpillars are appearing.

Use garden hoops to elevate the netting so that it does not rest directly on the leaves, preventing insects from laying eggs through the mesh.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Chemical-free pest protection
  • Lightweight and easy to handle
  • Does not fray when cut

  • Reusable across multiple seasons

Cons

  • Requires proper securing to avoid gaps
  • May require frames for taller crops
  • Color is highly visible in a natural garden environment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your netting, measure the area requiring protection and cut the material with sharp scissors to your desired dimensions. Drape the net over your crops, ensuring enough slack is provided if the plants are expected to grow tall. For the best seal, secure the edges firmly into the soil using garden pegs or weights.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for all brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, kale).
  • Compatible with most garden frames, hoops, and raised bed designs.

Care:

  • At the end of the season, shake off any loose debris or soil.
  • Rinse with plain water if heavily soiled and allow to dry completely before folding.
  • Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maximize longevity.
