Product Information

Full details

This durable, lightweight deer netting from Gardening Naturally is designed for gardeners, orchard owners, and farmers seeking a humane and cost-effective way to protect crops and plants from deer damage. Its key benefit is providing a strong, nearly invisible barrier that deters deer without harming them, allowing for a better harvest. A potential caveat is that effectiveness relies on proper installation, ensuring no gaps at ground level or entry points. The netting is extruded with high tensile strength, rot-proof, and easy to install and dismantle, making it suitable for both small gardens and large farmlands.

FAQs

How do I install the deer netting?

Unroll the mesh along your desired line and fix it to stakes at regular intervals. Keep the bottom edge close to the ground and use extra pegs for uneven soil. Overlap at gates. You can trim it with sharp scissors or secateurs and tie cut edges back to the nearest stake.

What is the mesh size?

The mesh has holes of 50mm x 50mm.

Is the netting visible in the garden?

The black mesh is designed to be nearly invisible once installed, so it will not spoil views across the garden.

Can I cut the netting to size?

Yes, you can trim the mesh with sharp scissors or secateurs to fit around corners, trees, or uneven edges.

How should I store the netting when not in use?

Roll it up dry and store it out of sunlight to ensure its longevity.

Is this netting suitable for large areas?

Yes, the netting is suitable for both small and large areas. For larger areas, you will need more stakes and potentially longer lengths of netting.

Will the netting rot or degrade in the weather?

No, the material is rot-proof and made for repeated outdoor use, remaining durable in various weather conditions.

Troubleshooting

Deer are still getting into the garden.

Ensure the netting is installed correctly, with no gaps at the base or entry points. Check if the netting is taut and high enough to deter jumping. Consider using closer stake spacing on exposed runs.

Netting is sagging or loose.

Increase the frequency of stakes and pegs. Ensure the netting is pulled taut during installation. Use battens to help maintain tension along posts.

Netting is snagging on nearby plants or objects.

Carefully trim the netting to fit snugly around obstacles. Ensure the netting is kept taut and at ground level where possible to reduce snag points.

Netting is damaged by strong winds.

Use closer stake spacing on exposed runs and add extra pegs along the base. Ensure the mesh is kept tensioned to reduce movement in gusty conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unroll the mesh along your marked line.
  2. Secure the netting to stakes at regular intervals. Use staples for attachment and consider adding battens to spread the load and maintain tension.
  3. Ensure the bottom edge is close to the ground to minimize gaps. Use extra pegs where the soil is uneven.
  4. For gates or access points, overlap the mesh to allow for opening and closing without creating breaches.
  5. For gardens, consider installing a taller line of netting to discourage jumping.
  6. You can trim the mesh with sharp scissors or secateurs to fit around obstacles like trees or uneven garden edges. Tie cut edges back to the nearest stake.

  • Clean with a damp cloth if necessary.
