Butterfly Netting

Protect your crops, fruit and vegetables from butterfly and bird damage with our lightweight Butterfly Netting. Featuring an 8mm x 8mm mesh, the netting provides an effective physical barrier against butterflies and birds while still allowing smaller pollinating insects, such as bees, to access plants. It is particularly useful for protecting brassicas and other vulnerable crops where butterfly activity can result in damaging caterpillar infestations.

Made from UV-stabilised, rot-free plastic, this black mesh netting is strong, lightweight and designed for outdoor use. The 8mm square mesh is significantly finer than standard anti-bird netting, making it an effective choice where butterfly protection is also required. It can help prevent butterflies from reaching plants and laying eggs, reducing the risk of caterpillar damage to crops such as cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, calabrese, purple sprouting and Brussels sprouts.

Available in convenient 4m x 10m and 4m x 25m rolls, the netting is supplied in easy-to-handle folded packs. It is simple to install and can be secured to fruit cages, grow frames, bamboo canes and other suitable supports, making it a practical and economical crop protection solution for gardeners, growers, allotment holders and professional horticultural applications.
