Ideal for Fruit Trees

The 5m x 5m size is a practical choice for protecting individual fruit trees and shrubs.

It can be positioned around the canopy to create a physical barrier between birds and ripening fruit, making it suitable for many New Zealand home gardens and backyard orchards.

Common applications include:

• Fruit trees
• Berry-growing areas
• Small orchards
• Vegetable gardens
• Raised garden beds
• Garden beds
• Shrubs
• Residential gardens

17mm Diamond Mesh

The netting features a 17mm x 17mm diamond-shaped mesh designed to provide a physical barrier against birds while remaining lightweight and manageable during installation.

The relatively small mesh makes this netting suitable where protection from a broad range of bird species is required.

30GSM Lightweight Construction

At 30 grams per square metre, this Diamond Bird Netting provides a lightweight alternative to Pestrol’s heavier-duty bird netting options.

Its lighter construction makes it particularly useful for seasonal garden and fruit-tree protection, where the netting may need to be positioned, adjusted or removed as crops develop.

UV-Stabilised Polyethylene

The netting is manufactured from knotless polyethylene using three UV-treated polyethylene monofilaments.

UV stabilisation helps the material withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight, making it suitable for outdoor use in New Zealand conditions.

The netting has a stated UV resistance of up to 10 years and is backed by an 8-year warranty.

Why Choose Black Bird Netting?

Black netting provides a relatively discreet appearance once installed.

Against trees, vegetation and shaded garden areas, the black mesh tends to visually recede into the background, making it a popular option for:

• Residential gardens
• Backyard fruit trees
• Landscaped areas
• Orchards
• Areas where a less noticeable installation is preferred

Where Can It Be Used?

The Pestrol Diamond Bird Netting can be used across a range of residential and growing environments, including:

• Residential properties
• Orchards
• Vineyards
• Vegetable gardens
• Backyard fruit trees
• Garden beds
• Horticultural areas
• Suitable commercial growing areas

Installing Bird Netting

For best results, install the netting so that the area requiring protection is completely covered and birds cannot easily enter underneath or through gaps.

Where practical, support the netting above crops or fruiting areas rather than allowing it to sit loosely over plants.

Secure the edges appropriately for the installation and regularly inspect the netting for gaps, loose sections or damage.

When installing around trees, allow sufficient room for plant growth and avoid excessively tight installation around branches.

Responsible Netting Use

Bird netting should always be installed and maintained carefully to minimise the risk of wildlife becoming caught or entangled.

Check installed netting regularly and keep it secure and appropriately tensioned rather than leaving loose sections.

If the netting is no longer required, remove and store it rather than leaving unused or unsecured netting in the environment.
