The Pegdev Butterfly Netting in Green is an ideal solution for home gardeners and allotment owners looking to protect vulnerable crops like cabbages, broccoli, and brassicas from insect pests without relying on chemical pesticides. This UV-stabilised, lightweight mesh provides a robust physical barrier while allowing essential sunlight, moisture, and air to reach your plants. While it offers excellent year-round protection and durability, users should ensure it is properly secured with pegs or frames to prevent gaps where clever pests might squeeze through.

While it may discourage some smaller birds, this netting is primarily designed as a barrier against butterflies and small insect pests. For large birds, a heavier-duty bird netting is recommended.
No, the mesh is porous and designed to allow rain and irrigation water to pass through freely to the soil.
Shake off any loose leaves, rinse it with a standard garden hose, and ensure it is fully dry before folding it for storage.
Yes, as a physical barrier, it requires no chemicals, making it an excellent choice for organic vegetable cultivation.
No, the Pegdev butterfly netting is designed to maintain its structure even after being cut to size.
While the material is UV-stabilised, we recommend storing it during the off-season to protect it from extreme winter conditions and maximize its lifespan.
Check the perimeter for gaps where the net meets the ground and ensure the netting is elevated above the leaves so pests cannot lay eggs through the mesh.
Install simple support hoops or vertical stakes to create a tent-like structure that keeps the mesh elevated.
Use heavy-duty garden staples or ground pegs at regular intervals along the edges to anchor the netting firmly to the soil.
To install, simply unroll the netting over your garden beds or individual plants. If you have custom-sized containers, use sharp scissors to trim the mesh to the desired dimensions; the material will not fray once cut.
Compatibility: This netting is compatible with most garden framing systems, including DIY PVC hoops, wooden frames, or simple stake supports.
Care Instructions: After the growing season, remove the netting and gently shake it to dislodge debris. If necessary, rinse with a hose and allow it to air-dry completely before folding. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to extend its lifespan significantly. Avoid using harsh detergents, as a simple water rinse is sufficient to maintain the integrity of the mesh.
