Youtube user theproducegarden has a great homemade video on how to install fruit netting on a small fruit tree.  This is a very simple net install but will be a valuable watch  for novice installers, homeowners, and gardeners. Would be good for anyone with a small orchard or individual trees that need to get netted.

Birds have to eat, and some of the easiest food for them to get are the fruits and veggies in your garden that you’ve put your hard work into cultivating and growing. You can effectively stop birds and other animals from eating your crop by installing a phsycial barrier to keep birds out. Bird netting is usually your best option, and Ames bird netting is just as good as the rest.

polypropylene

The polypropylene industry is a 65 billion dollar industry, with approximately 45 million tons being created in 2007 alone. Polypropelene itself is a ‘plastic’ polymer that has great application as an engineering plastic. It is tough and flexible, which makes it perfect for use in bird netting. It is also fiber-spun in many cases to produce a wide range of products like face masks, filters, nappies, cups, housewares, and wipes.

You know the lid on your last box of tic-tacs? That was also made of polypropylene! Rest assured that any polypropylene bird netting is stronger and more durable that rope or organic-based bird netting options.

Basic Info

Bird netting is used in the bird control industry and gardeners alike to keep birds from entering various areas on things. Their primary function in the bird control setting is to keep pest birds from roosting and therefore fall under the “roost inhibitor” category of bird control products.

Bird netting is one of the most effective forms of bird control. A properly install bird net provides an inpenetrable barrier that birds cannot break through. Bird netting is particularly useful when a specific area needs to maintain positive aesthetics, needs to remain in plain sight, or other exclusion options are not effective.

Similarly to bird spikes, the phsyical barrier qualities mean that applications will require FULL coverage of the the desired area to be fully effective. In cases of keeping birds out of foodstuffs, crops, or any product that needs to remain bird damage & disease-free, netting is most like the best option.

Bird netting works best when there is a specific entry point from which birds are entering an area. For wide areas that are too large to entirely cover with netting, we recommend a series of sonic or ultrasonic bird repelling units (click here to view some). Although they are individually expensive, the cost of using repellers vs using netting is usually significantly less, with good results.

Netting Materials

Modern bird netting is usually made of polyethylene, a durable and long-lasting plastic material. It is also usually coated with some form of UV protection additive, to keep ultraviolet rays from causing damage over extended periods of outdoor exposure.

Bird Netting Sizes

Bird netting comes in a variety of coverage sizes, from as small as 7′ X 20′ sheets, up to 5000′ X 14′

The circumference of the netting can range from as thin as 1/4″ Standard to as thick as 3/4″ Structural/Heavy Duty thickness
