Gardeningwill Fine Mesh Netting is an 8ft x 10ft sheet of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) designed for multi-pest management in gardens. The 0.8mm to 1.0mm mesh aperture is small enough to exclude leafhoppers and cabbage moths while allowing approximately 85-90% of sunlight (PAR) to reach the plants. The lock-stitch pattern helps prevent unravelling if the sheet is cut to custom sizes.
This netting is sold as a raw sheet without grommets, so using garden clips or binder clips is necessary for attachment. Direct stapling is not recommended, as it can cause tearing at the point of contact during high winds. While the mesh allows for overhead irrigation, it can raise ambient temperatures by 2-4°F, so monitoring plants during peak summer is advised. The HDPE monofilament is generally durable for 2-3 seasons, though it can snag on rough wood or thorns.
For more temporary protection of a patio umbrella area, you might consider the Cooshade Umbrella Netting as a structured alternative.
This agricultural mesh is a versatile option within our pop up mosquito net sunshades and garden protection category.
