This Pegdev butterfly netting is for home gardeners and allotment holders seeking a chemical-free way to protect vegetables and plants from insect damage. Its key benefit is providing a physical barrier against butterflies and other pests, ensuring healthier crops without pesticides. A minor caveat is the need for secure anchoring to ensure complete protection. The netting is made from UV-stabilised polyethylene with a fine mesh, allowing light, air, and rain to pass through while blocking pests. It's lightweight, flexible, cut-to-size, reusable, rot-proof, and weather-resistant.

This netting is ideal for protecting vegetables such as cabbages, broccoli, brassicas, carrots, and leafy greens. It can also be used for fruits like strawberries and for covering smaller plants and bushes.
Effectiveness is indicated by the absence of butterfly eggs or caterpillar damage on your plants. Regularly inspect your plants and the netting for any signs of pests breaching the barrier.
Yes, the netting is lightweight and flexible, making it suitable for draping over young seedlings without causing damage. Ensure it is securely anchored to prevent disturbance.
The green colour is primarily aesthetic and may help it blend into the garden environment. The key protective qualities come from the UV-stabilised polyethylene material and the fine mesh structure.
The UV-stabilised and rot-proof polyethylene is designed for durability and reusability over multiple growing seasons, provided it is cared for and stored properly.
Yes, the netting can be easily cut to any required size using sharp scissors without fraying, allowing for a custom fit for your specific garden beds or plants.
No, the fine mesh is designed to allow sufficient light, air, and rain to pass through to the plants, ensuring healthy growth conditions while providing protection.
Ensure edges are securely pegged or weighed down. Use more pegs or heavier weights, especially in windy conditions. Check that the netting is taut but not overly stretched.
Inspect the netting for any tears or gaps where it meets the ground. Ensure all edges are sealed effectively. The mesh size is fine, but some very small insects might exploit small openings.
While UV-stabilised, prolonged extreme weather can eventually affect the material. Check for signs of wear. Avoid dragging the netting over rough surfaces. Ensure proper storage during off-season.
Ensure the netting is draped with a slight slope or is not sagging excessively. The mesh is permeable, but heavy water accumulation can occur if the material is not tensioned properly.
