This 20mm Anti Bird Netting in Black is designed for gardeners and allotment holders seeking to protect their fruit, vegetables, and flowers from common garden birds like pigeons, without harming beneficial insects. Its primary benefit is providing reliable crop protection through a physical barrier while allowing essential elements like sunlight, air, and rain to reach plants. A key consideration is that while it allows pollinators through, it is not designed for extremely small pest control.

Yes, this netting is designed to be versatile and can be used on any garden cage, hoops, or frames to protect your plants.
It is used to protect fruit trees, vegetable beds, and flowers from damage by pigeons and other garden birds, while still allowing sunlight, air, and rain to reach the plants.
The 20mm mesh provides a balance: it's large enough to allow bees and other pollinators to pass through freely for essential pollination, while effectively stopping birds from pecking at your crops.
Yes, the 20mm mesh size is specifically chosen to allow pollinators to pass through safely, ensuring they can continue their work in your garden without being obstructed or harmed by the netting.
Absolutely. The netting is made from UV-stabilised HDPE and features double-stitched edges, making it durable and suitable for reuse over multiple growing seasons.
The netting is supplied by the metre in one continuous length. Consider the dimensions of the area you need to cover and add extra for tensioning and securing, taking into account the 25% over-cut provided.
Cut the netting to size, then stretch it taut over your plants or structures. Secure the edges firmly with garden pegs, clips, or by tying it down to prevent birds from getting underneath.
The netting is supplied with a 25% over-cut to allow for stretching. Ensure you are pulling the netting taut across the desired area and securing it firmly to achieve full coverage.
Check for any gaps or loose edges where birds could enter. Ensure the netting is securely fastened to the ground or structure all around the perimeter.
Use a sharp cutting tool for clean cuts. Handle the netting carefully to avoid snagging on sharp edges of structures or tools. The double-stitched edges add strength, but care should still be taken.
While UV stabilised, prolonged extreme exposure can eventually affect any material. Ensure the netting is stored dry and out of direct sunlight when not in use to maximize its lifespan.
Setup:
This netting is supplied in continuous lengths and can be easily cut to your required size using scissors or a sharp knife. It is recommended to cut the netting slightly larger than the area you intend to cover, utilizing the 25% over-cut for tensioning and securing. For installation, stretch the netting taut over your plants, raised beds, fruit trees, or garden cages. Secure the edges firmly using garden pegs, clips, or by tying it to supporting structures to prevent birds from gaining access underneath.
Compatibility:
The 20mm Anti Bird Netting is versatile and compatible with a wide range of garden structures, including:
Care:
To ensure longevity and reusability, clean the netting after each growing season. Gently rinse with water to remove soil and debris. Allow the netting to dry completely before storing it in a dry, shaded place away from direct sunlight to preserve its UV resistance. The durable HDPE material and double-stitched edges are designed for repeated use.
