This Pegdev Butterfly Netting is for gardeners and allotment holders seeking a chemical-free method to protect vegetables and plants from insect pests like butterflies. Its key benefit is providing a physical barrier that allows essential light, air, and rain to reach plants while preventing egg-laying. A minor consideration is the need for secure anchoring to ensure effective coverage. This netting is made from UV-stabilised polyethylene with a fine mesh, designed to be durable, reusable, and weather-resistant.

No, the fine mesh allows water, air, and light to pass through freely, ensuring plants receive the necessary resources for healthy growth.
Ensure the edges are adequately secured with enough pegs, weights, or by burying the edges slightly in the soil. For larger installations, consider using a frame for better tension.
Check for any gaps or holes in the netting or at the secured edges. Ensure the mesh size is appropriate for the specific pest you are targeting. The fine mesh is designed for most common garden pests.
While the mesh allows light, ensure it is not excessively shaded by other structures. The material is designed for optimal light transmission.
Setup:
Compatibility:
This netting is compatible with a wide range of garden structures, including raised beds, hoop tunnels, and individual plants. It is suitable for most vegetable crops, particularly brassicas like cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and kale, as well as other susceptible plants.
Care:
After the growing season, carefully remove the netting. Clean off any soil or debris by shaking it gently or rinsing with water. Allow it to dry completely before folding it neatly for storage. Store in a dry place to maintain its UV stability and prevent degradation. The netting is rot-proof and weather-resistant, but prolonged exposure to harsh elements when not in use can shorten its lifespan.
