This is the anti bird net we supply for greenhouses and vegetable crops, and it is a monofilament construction rather than a tape net: the strands are drawn single, so the mesh is light, packs down small, and reads as almost nothing from a distance, which matters where the net has to cover a crop without shading it out. It is used over greenhouse openings and over fruit and vegetable beds to keep birds and small animals off the crop. Width is made to order from 1 to 6 m, with or without UV treatment.
A bird net has to do one job and then get out of the way. This one is made from monofilament rather than tape, which is the difference that matters: single drawn strands give a light mesh that packs down small and reads as almost nothing from a distance, so a crop can be covered against birds without being shaded out at the same time.
Tape nets are built from flat strips, which makes them visible and gives them more surface to catch wind. A monofilament net is drawn from single strands, so the mesh is thinner, lighter and far less obtrusive over a crop, and it folds down into a small bundle for storage between seasons. That combination, light coverage with low shading, is why it is used over greenhouse openings and over fruit and vegetable beds rather than over a whole structure, and it is the reason it is also specified where deer and moles have to be kept off a plot.
The net goes over greenhouse vents and doorways, across fruit and vegetable beds, along a vineyard row and around a kitchen garden, and because the width is made to order from 1 to 6 m, an opening can be covered in one piece rather than joined along the middle. Households setting trays under the same netting often pair it with a planting bag, and the wider shade net range covers the shading grades where light rather than bird control is the problem.

Width is the specification that decides how the net is used, and it is made to order from 1 to 6 m so a greenhouse opening can be covered in one piece. UV treatment is optional rather than standard, because a net over a vent that is taken down each season and stored under cover does not need the same treatment as one left over a vineyard row all year. The mesh compresses into a small bundle, which keeps freight and shelf space down. A knitted monofilament net covers the shading job where a knitted weave and a shade rate are wanted instead.
Width, length, UV treatment and mesh size are all made to order, so the first detail to confirm is the opening or the bed you are covering and how the net will be fixed. Netting ships compressed in bundles. Buyers tracking how crop protection netting performs can follow trade coverage such as HortiDaily and FreshPlaza for what is being installed.
Why monofilament rather than a tape net?
Drawn single strands give a lighter, less obtrusive mesh that packs down smaller, so the crop is covered without being shaded out or catching as much wind.
Can I order a specific width?
Yes. Width is made to order from 1 to 6 m, so an opening can be covered in one piece rather than joined.
Is UV treatment always included?
It is optional. A net stored under cover between seasons may not need it, while one left out over a vineyard row through the year does. Tell us how it will be used and we will advise.
Tell us the opening or bed you are covering and how the net will be fixed, and we will confirm the width, the treatment and the packing that suit your order.
