The Pegdev Butterfly Netting is an ideal solution for home gardeners and allotment holders looking to protect their brassicas, cabbages, and broccoli from butterflies and insect pests without resorting to harsh chemicals. This fine mesh acts as a robust physical barrier that still permits the essential passage of light, air, and rain for healthy plant development. While highly effective at keeping pests out, users should ensure the netting is secured tightly to prevent small insects from crawling underneath edges.

Yes, the material is designed to be cut to any size without the edges fraying.
No, the mesh is fine enough to allow sunlight, air, and rain to reach your plants effectively.
Absolutely. It provides a physical barrier that eliminates the need for chemical pesticides.
The material is rot-proof and weather-resistant, but it is recommended to clean and store it during the off-season to maximize its lifespan.
You can use standard garden pegs, stones, or landscape staples to anchor the edges firmly to the soil.
While it may deter some, it is primarily designed as a butterfly and insect barrier; for larger animals, dedicated bird netting may be more effective.
Ensure you are using enough garden pegs or heavy weights at frequent intervals along every edge of the netting.
Check that the edges are completely sealed against the ground. Even a small gap can allow pests to crawl underneath.
To set up your Pegdev Butterfly Netting, simply measure the area to be covered and cut the netting using sharp household scissors. When applying, ensure there is enough slack if you are placing it directly on plants, or use bamboo canes to create a tent-like structure for better airflow. To care for the product, rinse it with a hose after the season ends to remove any debris or soil. Once dry, fold the netting compactly and store it in a cool, dry shed or garage. The weather-resistant material ensures it remains in good condition for the following spring.
