Bird Netting

Bird netting for vegetable gardens, vineyards and fruit trees

Bird Netting helps protect crops by creating a physical barrier that restricts birds' access to the covered area. It is an option for protecting the fruit in your garden, vineyard or fruit trees throughout the growing season.

Made from UV-stabilised polyethylene, this green netting is designed for outdoor use. It can be reused over several seasons as long as it remains in good condition.

Choosing the right size

Two sizes are available:

• 2 × 10 metres: 2 metres wide and 10 metres long.
• 4 × 10 metres: 4 metres wide and 10 metres long.

Before choosing, measure the distance the netting will need to span over the plants or supporting structure. Allow for the height, sides and extra material needed to secure it: measuring only the ground area may leave you short.

As a guide, the two sizes provide 20 and 40 m² of netting laid flat, respectively. The area of crops you can protect will depend on how you fit the netting.

Fitting the bird netting

You can place the netting over trees, vines, plants or garden hoops. Plan the layout to cover the area you want to protect while keeping access for checking the crop and harvesting.

• Unfold the netting carefully to avoid snagging or tearing it.
• Check that no birds are inside the area before covering it.
• Check edges and joins to prevent access from the sides.
• Avoid loose or tangled sections that could trap animals.
• Check the netting and its fixings regularly, especially after windy weather.

Protection depends on both the condition of the netting and how it is fitted. We recommend checking it throughout use and addressing any gaps or damage.

Storing the netting for reuse

At the end of the season, remove the netting carefully and check for tears. Store it dry and out of direct sunlight until you need it again.

Avoid spraying it with chemicals that could damage the material. Check its condition again before reusing it.
