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.

FAQs
What is the mesh size of this netting?
The netting has a fine mesh designed to block butterflies and similar-sized insects while allowing air, water, and light to pass through. Specific mesh size details are not provided but it is effective against common garden pests.
How long does the netting last?
The netting is made from UV-stabilised polyethylene and is rot-proof and weather-resistant, designed for year-after-year use under normal gardening conditions.
Can this netting be used on all types of plants?
Yes, it is suitable for a wide variety of vegetables and plants, including brassicas like cabbage and broccoli, as well as beans and peas.
How do I secure the netting?
You can secure the edges using garden pegs, weights, stones, or by burying the edges slightly into the soil. Ensure a tight seal to prevent pests from entering.
Will this netting block sunlight and rain?
No, the fine mesh is designed to allow sufficient light, air, and rain to pass through, ensuring your plants receive the necessary elements for growth.
Is this product available in other colours or sizes?
While this guide focuses on the green variant, Pegdev offers this netting in other colours, such as purple and white, and in different lengths to suit various garden needs. Please check product listings for available options.
How should I store the netting when not in use?
Clean the netting if necessary, ensure it is completely dry, fold it compactly, and store it in a dry location away from direct sunlight and potential damage from pests.
Troubleshooting
Netting is not staying in place
Ensure edges are securely fastened to the ground using adequate pegs, weights, or by burying the edges slightly in soil. Use more securing points if necessary, especially in windy areas.
Pests are still reaching plants
Check for any gaps or holes in the netting. Ensure the netting is properly sealed around the base of plants or structures. The mesh size may also be too large for very small insects; consider a finer mesh if this is a recurring issue with specific pests.
Netting is sagging or collapsing
If draped over plants, ensure adequate support underneath, such as small hoops or frames, or use a sturdier structure. Adjust the tension and securing points to provide better support.
Netting is difficult to cut cleanly
Use sharp scissors or a utility knife for a clean cut. For very large areas, a rotary cutter might be more effective. Avoid tearing the material.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Durable and UV-stabilised for long-term use.
Allows air, water, and light to reach plants, promoting healthy growth.
Lightweight, flexible, and easy to cut and install.
Reusable and rot-proof, offering excellent value.
Suitable for a wide variety of vegetables and plants.
Cons
Requires proper securing (e.g., with pegs or weights) to prevent displacement by wind.
Fine mesh may require occasional cleaning if it becomes clogged with debris.
Can be susceptible to damage from larger animals if not adequately secured.
Initial setup may take time depending on the size and complexity of the area to be covered.
May not be suitable for extremely windy locations without robust anchoring.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unroll the netting and identify the area to be protected.
Drape the netting loosely over the plants, raised beds, or frames, ensuring it covers the entire area.
Secure the edges of the netting firmly to the ground using garden pegs, soil, stones, or weights. Overlap sections if using multiple pieces to prevent gaps.
Ensure the netting does not constrict plant growth; allow space for mature plants.
Compatibility:
Suitable for most vegetable crops, including cabbages, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, beans, peas, and various fruits.
Ideal for use with raised beds, ground-level crops, and can be used over simple frame structures or hoop tunnels.
Compatible with Pegdev garden pegs or other common garden anchoring methods.
Care:
After the growing season, carefully remove the netting and fold it for storage.
If the netting becomes dirty, gently rinse it with water and allow it to air dry completely before storing.
Inspect for any damage before each use. Minor repairs can be made with suitable tape or stitching if necessary.
Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight and rodents.
