Deer netting is a simple and humane way to deter deer from feeding on vegetables, fruit and plants...Deer netting is a simple and humane way to deter deer from feeding on vegetables, fruit and plants. As deer often feed in the early morning, the damage can be hard to spot until crops are lost. Using this netting helps keep deer out of gardens, orchards and farmland so you can harvest more of what you grow. Deer Netting With High Tensile Strength For Gardens This Gardening Naturally extruded lightweight netting has a high tensile strength of 80g per square metre. Strong yet easy to handle, it forms a barrier to stop deer accessing growing areas. Use it around vegetable plots, fruit cages, tree lines or along wider boundaries. Deer Netting Fence Kits With Stakes Included We supply deer netting fence kits complete with stakes, clips and the netting you need to build a fence. The kits suit small gardens and larger outdoor spaces. Once installed, the mesh deters deer while blending neatly into the surroundings. Lightweight Deer Netting That Blends Into The Garden The black mesh is almost invisible when in place, so it will not spoil views across the garden. The material is rot proof and made for repeated outdoor use while remaining light enough for quick installation and seasonal adjustments. How To Install Deer Netting For Garden Boundaries Unroll the mesh along your marked line and fix it to stakes at regular intervals. Keep the bottom edge close to the ground to reduce gaps and add extra pegs where the soil is uneven. For gates or access points, overlap the mesh so you can open and close without leaving openings. Can deer netting be cut to fit awkward shapes? Yes, you can trim the mesh with sharp scissors or secateurs to fit around corners, trees or uneven edges, then tie the cut edge back to the nearest stake. What fence height works best with deer netting? For gardens, many users aim for a taller line where local conditions allow. Higher lines help discourage jumping and reduce pressure on entry points. How should the netting be fixed to wooden posts? Staples fix the mesh to the post, then cap with a short batten to spread the load and keep the mesh tight along the run. Is deer netting safe around pets and wildlife? The mesh has an open structure and low visibility. Keep it taut and at ground level to reduce snag points and check edges regularly around paths. Can the same roll be reused after the season? Yes, roll it up dry and store it out of sunlight. Reusing the mesh for new layouts or temporary barriers is a common approach in gardens and allotments. Will deer netting cope with windy sites? Use closer stake spacing on exposed runs and add extra pegs along the base. Keeping the mesh tensioned helps reduce movement in gusty conditions.

FAQs
Can deer netting be cut to fit awkward shapes?
Yes, the mesh can be trimmed with sharp scissors or secateurs to fit around corners, trees, or uneven edges. Tie the cut edge back to the nearest stake for a secure finish.
What fence height works best with deer netting?
For gardens, a height of around 1.5m (approximately 5ft) is often recommended to discourage jumping. Local conditions and deer behaviour may influence the optimal height.
How should the netting be fixed to wooden posts?
Staple the mesh securely to the wooden post. For a tighter fit and to spread the load, cap the mesh along the post with a short length of wood batten.
Is deer netting safe around pets and wildlife?
The mesh has an open structure and low visibility. To minimize snagging risks for pets or wildlife, ensure the netting is kept taut and close to the ground, and regularly check edges, especially around pathways.
Can the same roll of netting be reused after the season?
Yes, the netting is designed for repeated outdoor use. Roll it up dry and store it out of direct sunlight to preserve its material and ensure it can be reused for new layouts or temporary barriers in subsequent seasons.
Will deer netting cope with windy sites?
On exposed runs, use closer stake spacing and add extra pegs along the base. Keeping the mesh tensioned is crucial to help reduce movement and stress on the netting in gusty conditions.
What is the mesh size of the netting?
The deer netting features holes of approximately 50mm x 50mm.
Troubleshooting
Deer are still getting into the garden.
Ensure the netting is installed at an adequate height (consider 1.5m where possible), check for any gaps at the base or along the run, and verify the netting is sufficiently tensioned. Overlap sections generously at entry points.
Netting is sagging or loose.
Increase the frequency of stake placement or add additional pegs. Re-tension the netting along its run and secure it firmly to each stake.
Netting is difficult to cut or handle.
Use sharp secateurs or strong scissors. Ensure the netting is laid flat before cutting. Wear gloves for better grip and protection.
Netting seems damaged after a storm.
Inspect the entire length for tears or weak points. Repair minor damage by weaving or tying the mesh back together. For significant damage, consider replacing the affected section.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Plan Your Layout: Determine the area you need to protect and mark your boundary.
Install Stakes: Place stakes at regular intervals (closer spacing is recommended for exposed or windy sites) along the marked line.
Unroll and Fix Netting: Unroll the mesh and attach it securely to the stakes using the provided clips or staples. Ensure the bottom edge is close to the ground to prevent deer from burrowing underneath. Add extra pegs for uneven terrain.
Create Access Points: For gates or areas requiring access, overlap the mesh generously to ensure no gaps are left when closed.
Trim to Fit: Use sharp scissors or secateurs to cut the mesh to fit around corners, trees, or awkward shapes. Tie cut edges back to the nearest stake.
Tensioning: Keep the netting taut to maximize its effectiveness and reduce movement in windy conditions.
Compatibility:
Ground: Suitable for use directly on the ground or around existing structures.
Support Structures: Can be fixed to wooden posts (using staples and battens), metal stakes, or existing fences.
Area Size: Available in various lengths and widths to suit small gardens to larger farmlands. Kits are available for smaller spaces.
Care:
Cleaning: If necessary, clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Storage: After the season, roll up the netting while dry. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to preserve its material integrity for future use.
Maintenance: Periodically check the netting for any snagged debris or tears, especially after strong winds, and repair as needed.
