FAQs

What is the difference between the Small and Standard size nets?

The Small net measures 32 x 48 cm and has an approximate capacity of 5kg, while the Standard net measures 52 x 82 cm with an approximate capacity of 25kg.

Can these nets be used for potatoes?

Yes, potatoes can be stored in these nets, provided the storage environment is cool, dark, and dry, allowing for good air circulation.

Are these nets suitable for outdoor storage?

They are best suited for dry outdoor storage like sheds or outbuildings. Avoid leaving them exposed to direct rain or excessive moisture.

How should I store the nets when not in use?

Store them in a clean, dry place, folded or loosely coiled, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

Can I wash these nets in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the polypropylene material. Wipe clean with a damp cloth if necessary.

What is the primary benefit of using these nets over plastic bags?

The primary benefit is the enhanced air circulation provided by the woven material, which helps to keep produce fresh for longer and prevents moisture buildup.

Troubleshooting

Net feels weak or stretched after initial use.

Ensure you are not exceeding the approximate weight capacity for the chosen net size. Distribute weight evenly within the net.

Produce stored in the net is spoiling quickly.

Verify that the storage environment is cool, dry, and well-ventilated. Check for any sources of moisture or heat.

Drawstring is difficult to pull or has become frayed.

Ensure the net is not overfilled. If frayed, gently trim any loose ends with scissors. For significant fraying, consider retiring the net.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting construction.
  • Promotes air circulation for better produce storage.
  • Versatile for both produce and kindling/logs.
  • Easy to use with drawstring for hanging and closure.
  • Available in two practical sizes.

Cons

  • Not suitable for damp or humid storage conditions.
  • May not be ideal for very small, loose items that could fall through the weave.
  • The orange color might not suit all aesthetic preferences.
  • Capacity is an approximation and depends on item size and density.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply fill the net with your desired items (e.g., onions, garlic, carrots, kindling) and pull the drawstring to close securely. Use the attached loop or the drawstring itself to hang the net from a hook or peg in a suitable storage location.

Compatibility: These nets are ideal for storing produce that benefits from airflow, such as onions, garlic, potatoes, and carrots. They are also suitable for storing dry, smaller items like kindling wood and logs. They are best used in cool, dry, and well-ventilated environments like larders, sheds, or outbuildings. Avoid using them for highly perishable items that require refrigeration or for storing items in damp conditions.

Care: To clean the nets, shake them out thoroughly to remove any debris. If necessary, they can be wiped down with a damp cloth. Allow them to dry completely before storing or reusing. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this may damage the polypropylene material.
