Extended Product Information

FAQs

What size is the netting?

The product information does not specify a fixed size; it is designed to be cut to any size or shape needed by the user.

Is this netting safe for all types of garden insects?

The fine mesh is designed to deter larger pests like birds and rodents while allowing air and sunlight. However, care should be taken to avoid trapping beneficial insects.

How long will the netting last?

The netting is UV-stabilised and made from durable, rot-proof polyethylene, designed for repeated outdoor use throughout multiple growing seasons when stored properly.

Can this netting be used for vegetables other than fruits?

Yes, it is suitable for shielding vegetable patches, newly seeded areas, or young plants from damage by pests.

Does the black colour affect sunlight reaching plants?

The fine mesh design allows for sufficient sunlight and air circulation, and the black colour helps it blend into the garden environment without significantly impacting light penetration.

How should I clean the netting before storing it?

Gently shake off any loose soil, leaves, or debris. If necessary, a light rinse with water and air drying is recommended before storing.

Troubleshooting

Netting is easily blown away by wind.

Ensure the netting is securely fastened around the edges using garden pegs, weights, or by tucking it under soil or mulch. Consider using a frame for better tension.

Pests are still finding their way through.

Check for any gaps or holes in the netting and ensure it is secured tightly around the base of plants or garden beds. For larger pests, consider combining netting with other deterrents.

Netting becomes tangled during use.

Handle the netting carefully when deploying and removing it. Storing it neatly, perhaps rolled around a tube, can help prevent tangles.

Pros and Cons

  • Reusable, offering a sustainable pest control solution.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unroll the netting and carefully drape it over your plants, fruit cages, frames, or garden beds. Use garden pegs, stones, or weights to secure the edges firmly to the ground or structure, ensuring no gaps for pests to enter. The netting can be easily cut with scissors to achieve the desired size and shape for your specific application.

Compatibility: This netting is ideal for strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, other soft fruits, vegetable patches, newly seeded areas, and young plants. It is suitable for use with various garden structures like hoops, frames, and raised beds.

Care: After the growing season, clean the netting by shaking off debris. Store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve its UV resistance. Proper storage will ensure its longevity for subsequent seasons.
