FAQs

What materials is the Pegdev Plants & Crops Protection Netting made from?

The netting is crafted from high-quality, UV-stabilised polyethylene monofilaments.

What is the primary purpose of this netting?

Its primary purpose is to protect precious crops and gardens from pests such as insects and birds.

What are the dimensions of the netting?

The netting comes in a standard 2m width and is available in various lengths to suit different gardening needs.

How does the open mesh construction benefit my plants?

The open mesh allows for optimal airflow and sunlight penetration, which are essential for healthy plant growth, while still providing pest protection.

Is the netting difficult to install?

It is designed to be easy to handle and install, weighing approximately 6kg per roll, and requires minimal maintenance.

Can this netting protect against all types of pests?

It provides reliable protection against birds and most common garden insects. However, very small crawling pests might still find ways through the mesh if not properly sealed at the base.

How should I care for the netting?

Care involves regular inspection for damage, cleaning with a damp cloth, and storing in a dry place when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Netting is difficult to handle due to weight.

Enlist assistance from another person for easier unrolling and installation, especially for larger areas.

Pests are still getting under the netting.

Ensure the edges of the netting are securely anchored to the ground using pegs, stones, or by burying the edges slightly to create a complete seal.

Netting is sagging or not staying in place.

Reinforce the support structure (stakes, hoops) or add more anchoring points along the perimeter.

Netting appears to be degrading prematurely.

Confirm the product is indeed UV-stabilised polyethylene. Ensure it is not in constant contact with abrasive surfaces that could cause physical wear.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unroll the netting carefully, noting its 2m width.
  2. Determine the area requiring protection and measure the necessary length.
  3. Cut the netting to the desired size using sharp scissors or a utility knife.
  4. Install by draping over plants, crops, or garden structures. Use stakes, hoops, or secure the edges to the ground with pegs or weights to ensure a tight fit and prevent pests from entering underneath.

Compatibility:

This netting is compatible with most garden structures, including raised beds, hoop tunnels, and existing garden frames. It can be used directly over plants, small trees, bushes, and vegetable rows.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the netting for any tears or damage.

  • Store in a dry place when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
  • Ensure the netting is not overly stretched, as this can reduce its effectiveness and durability.
