Agfabric Garden Netting 4'x100' Insect Pest Barrier Bird Netting for Garden Protection,Row Cover Mesh Netting for Vegetables Fruit Trees and Plants,White

This was a good product. The netting does come with a band on it to help secure bigger plants. I did not need as much, so cutting what I needed was helpful and still maintained it’s integrity. Next year I will have use for the entire netting without cutting smaller pieces. I would buy this again.

I purchased this product last year in 2022 we have pink blueberries and a lot of deer and birds made a small covering over them and did not lose a single berry Thus year I had a professional landscaper come to trim my berries for me he was totally impressed by the quality of this product so this year in 2023 I have ordered two more large ones to extend my covering over my fruits and vegetables easy to work with holds up through the weather I have not had a single problem with this product I strongly suggest that if you're looking for something to protect your fruits and vegetables make sure to get this and the white really allows the sun to get through and make them grow

The fabric itself seems to be well made. The reason I gave it 3 stars is because it is sewn down the middle. At the end of the garden bed I covered with it, it is already separating at that seam. It has been windy here lately, but the fabric is held down well and shouldn't have pulled apart. I ended up taping the area and hope it holds up for the rest of the growing season. If it came as a single piece, I would highly recommend it. But, the way it is made, I would issue caution.

This material is heavier than row cover netting, but it is a strong mesh without being weighty, which I wanted. After several months in a community garden on 'homemade' frame for isolation (to prevent insects from cross pollinating a variety of peppers) it is still strong after sun, rain, and curious people in the garden. The mesh is tighter than some other "isolation" netting sold so it blocks out even some smaller insects. The mesh still allows good sun and water to get through it, but keeps out most pollination risk insects. It has stood up to poking by people, children, rain, strong wind, tight clamps that hold the mesh on PVC pipe, and sun.

I have had blueberry bushes for 23 years and up until I bought this net, I had , birds and squirrels chewing their way through the nets I was using . About five years ago I started having blueberry maggot problems . I started using the yellow sticky cards and sprays to get rid of them . Little did I know that rather then rid the bushes of the flies that lay the eggs I was actually attracting more flies with the sticky cards. On top of that I still had birds and squirrels inside of the net. After much searching for tobacco netting I came across this netting two seasons ago. First I took out the mulch down to the top of the roots , sprayed the area with SEVIN , then covered the area with landscape cloth and then a mixture of peat moss, manure and cedar mulch. I left out the part that years ago I constructed a PVC frame around the berry bushes to hold up the netting. After seeing this netting I contacted the seller and found that it is very similar to tobacco netting and made of what looks to be polyester . After all the work I put into the berry bushes I put this new net over the frame and in the past two years , no squirrels ,no bird, no flies or maggots . LIFE IS GOOD ! The rain and the sun go through but the critters stay away ! YAY !

- I had had a bad apple maggot problem on my Honey Crisp tree ever since we moved to the Seattle area eight years ago and always used the "footies" to put over the individual apples. This was very time consuming and not always effective.- After seeing the use of netting on fruit trees in the Calif. orchards, I did some research and found Agfabric on Amazon. I ordered the biggest piece I could, 20 ft x 50 feet and I paid $78 for it. Then, I cut it up and sewed it together so I had a square that approximated 30 x 30. It sewed very easily on my old Elna. Note: I actually had WAY too much fabric for my 7' tree and wound up cutting it off by about 3 feet at the bottom. The netting fabric is clear, very strong and made from polyester and the holes are very small (.03" x .03"). So, sunlight can get through but insects can't.- In early spring this year (after all the flower petals fell from my apple tree) I put the netting on the tree in the hopes that it would prevent the apple maggot fly from laying her eggs on the emerging apples. I put wooden stakes around the tree to keep the netting off the branches and cinched the netting under the canopy, using bungee cords to prevent the flies from getting in. I really didn't need to access the apples under the netting all season and only one fell into the netting during that time, along with the small ones that naturally happen. I checked the tree periodically to see if any insects were flying around or evidence of critters (i.e. rats) who tried to munch through the netting (there never were).- I am happy to report that I just picked my Honeycrisp apples (in early Sept.) and I had a 99% success rate! I gathered almost two bushels of apples from my small tree. No evidence of apple maggots or dimpling at all! I'm attaching a couple of pictures to show you. The apples are extremely crisp and beautiful!- The good news is that the netting came through the season very well and after shaking it out, I was able to fold it up and will store it for next year. It should last many years to come.
