Made from UV-stabilised polyethylene, the fine mesh acts as a physical barrier, preventing butterflies from laying eggs on crops such as cabbages, broccoli and other brassicas, without the use of chemicals. It allows light, air and rain to pass through, creating a healthy growing environment while keeping pests out. Lightweight and flexible, the netting is easy to handle and can be cut to fit any area without fraying. Drape directly over crops, raised beds or frames and secure with pegs or garden weights for effective coverage. Suitable for both domestic gardens and allotments, this netting is ideal for use throughout the growing season. It’s also reusable, rot-proof and weather-resistant, making it a practical solution for year-after-year crop protection. Whether you're an experienced grower or new to gardening, this butterfly netting helps ensure your plants develop without damage from hungry caterpillars and other insects. When not in use, it can be easily folded and stored for future seasons. A must-have for anyone serious about growing healthy, chemical-free produce.

Troubleshooting
Netting is not staying in place.
Ensure the edges are securely anchored using sufficient pegs, weights, or by tying it to a frame. Check for any gaps where wind could lift it.
Pests are still getting through.
Inspect the netting for any tears or holes. Ensure all edges are completely sealed to the ground or structure, leaving no entry points.
Netting appears to be restricting plant growth.
Verify that the mesh is allowing adequate light, air, and water penetration. Ensure the netting is not sagging and pressing down on plants.

Brush off dry debris. If necessary, gently wash with cool water and mild soap, then allow to air dry completely before re-deploying or storing.
