{"product_id":"heavy-grade-anti-bird-netting-black-12mm","title":"Heavy Grade Anti-Bird Netting, Black, 12mm Mesh, 35g\/m2, 2m x 10m or 2m x 50m","description":"\u003cp\u003ePigeons, blackbirds and other birds can strip a fruit or vegetable crop in a few days. Covering plants with netting is the simplest way to stop them. This premium anti-bird netting is a heavy-grade black polypropylene net with small square holes of around 12mm, weighing 35g\/m². The supplier describes it as more than twice the weight of most standard plastic bird nettings, so it is stronger and longer lasting. It is UV stabilised and rot-free, for use year after year, and comes 2m wide in 10m and 50m lengths, supplied in easy-to-handle folded packs. Allotment holders, gardeners, fruit growers, smallholders and pond owners use it over fruit cages, crops and ponds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHeavy grade, stronger mesh\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 35g\/m² the net is heavier than typical lightweight bird netting. The stretched plastic construction gives a high-tensile net that does not stretch or deform, so it holds its shape on frames and is less likely to tear on canes, branches or pegs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSmall square holes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mesh holes are around 10–12mm.

Over ponds, stretch it across on low stakes.
