This green butterfly netting by Pegdev is an essential tool for gardeners and allotment owners who want to protect brassicas and other vulnerable crops from insect damage. It serves as a reliable physical barrier that blocks butterflies and pests from laying eggs on your vegetables without the need for chemical intervention. While the mesh is highly effective at deterring insects and allows for natural light and water penetration, it requires secure anchoring to prevent wind displacement or wildlife entanglement.

Yes, the material is designed to be cut to your specific needs without fraying at the edges.
While it is primarily designed to exclude insects, the fine mesh also acts as a deterrent for many bird species.
No, the netting is designed to be permeable, allowing sufficient light to pass through for healthy plant development.
It is weather-resistant and rot-proof, but for maximum longevity, it is best to remove and store it during the off-season.
No, this netting is designed to stop larger pests like butterflies and moths; it is not fine enough to exclude smaller insects like aphids.
Ensure you are using sufficient garden pegs or heavy stones around the entire perimeter to create a tight seal.
Check the edges to ensure there are no gaps between the ground and the netting, and ensure the netting is not touching the leaves directly if butterflies can lay eggs through the mesh.
To install, drape the netting over your garden beds or individual plants. Ensure the edges are tucked tightly into the soil or secured using heavy-duty garden pegs or stones to prevent insects from crawling underneath. The netting is fully compatible with existing garden hoops, frames, and raised bed systems. For maintenance, simply shake off any garden debris after use. If the netting becomes soiled, rinse it with water and allow it to dry completely in the shade before folding it away for winter storage to preserve its lifespan.
