How to Use Fence Netting: Step-By-Step Guide
Step 1) Measure Your Protected Area
Measure the area you need protecting so you purchase the right amount of netting and support materials.
You should also decide whether to cover a single plant entirely or enclose the area with a cage and netting.

Step 3) Think About Fence Posts
If you already have fence posts, you don't need to worry too much about this step, as you already have something for the netting to attach to.
If not, you'll need to install your own fence posts.
To do this, make out your area, then use a hammer or mallet to drive each post firmly into the ground. Make sure they're stable.
Step 5) Add an Entry Point
If you've covered a whole area, you want to make sure you can still get to your plants, so you'll need to create a walk-in area.
To do this, leave an opening and attach the netting to a removable post. When closed, secure the new opening with fittings.
There you have it! Your brand new fence netting to protect your plants from all means of animals and insects. Watch your crops survive and thrive under their new home.

Now that you've installed your new garden netting (and it's working well!), you'll want to make sure it continues to work to protect your plants.
Below are a few tips and tricks to keep your netting functioning as it should.
Keep It Tight
It's so important to keep your fence netting tight and secure. If there are any sags or your netting becomes undone, animals will easily go back to munching on your plants.
Mesh Size
It's important to note the mesh size of your netting before purchasing your material. The mesh size refers to the number of holes per square inch in the netting.
The lower the number, the smaller the holes in the netting will be.
When installing fence netting, consider the mesh size, as this will affect the size of pests that can get through the netting and into your plants.
Adjust as Needed
If you've finished installing your fence netting and find some areas that are slightly skew-whiff, you should retighten your fittings.
You may also need to adjust the netting if it becomes loose over time.
Check Regularly
It's good practice to inspect your netting regularly, especially after adverse weather conditions.
You just need to look out for any tears, rips, or damage and repair them quickly to maintain ultimate protection.
Remove Debris
Removing any fallen leaves, branches, or even snow from your fence netting will ensure it doesn't sag in places.
This also helps maintain a clean and aesthetic garden or allotment that you can be proud of.

Sensible, Effective Deer Fence Planning
20+years of businessDeer fencing isn&#;t rocket science, but neither are things like shingling a roof. It just needs a little understanding. So it&#;s best to get some information or advice as you proceed. Browse our videos; call us for help with planning; get a free quote; or else, once armed with a little information, get a McGregor fence kit suited to your needs.
Some useful pointers:- 7-foot fences are ideal. Deer seeking a meal may occasionally jump 6-footers but not 7-footers.
- Metal hexagrid fencing is more expensive than plastic fencing but is also a better and longer-lasting product.
- Welded wire fencing can do the same job as metal hex but is more visible and more expensive.
- Earth anchors (cheap and effective braces for corners, ends, and gates) can be positioned to keep their attachment cables inside the fence line.
