{"product_id":"plastic-deer-fencing-mesh-black-50mm-100m","title":"Plastic Deer Fencing Mesh, Black, 50mm Holes, 80gsm, UV Stabilised, 1.5m or 2m x 100m Roll","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you need to keep deer off new planting, young trees or a fresh hedge line, this black plastic deer fencing mesh is a lighter, easier-to-handle alternative to metal wire deer fence. It is a heavy-duty netting made from high-tensile plastic that has been stretched during manufacture for extra strength, with 50mm square holes, a weight of 80g\/m² and UV stabilisation for outdoor use. It suits farmers, landscapers and gardeners. Each roll is 100m long, and you can buy it in 1.5m × 100m and 2m × 100m.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStretched for strength\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe netting is made from high-tensile BOP plastic that is stretched during the manufacturing process. Stretching improves the strength and resilience of the filaments, which is why the mesh is considered suitable for use around larger animals such as deer. Tensile strength is stated as over 5.8kN\/m.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for exposure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe black netting is UV stabilised, so it is made to cope with long periods outdoors in sunlight and weather. It is described as having a long life expectancy when exposed to the elements. No figure in years is given, so treat that as a general expectation rather than a guarantee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLight to carry, quick to put up\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it is plastic rather than steel, the mesh is lightweight and easy to handle and erect. It fixes to ordinary timber posts or stakes with U-nails or nylon cable ties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe honest limitation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlastic netting does not hold itself taut the way a steel wire fence can. Straining line wires are strongly recommended to give the netting extra strength and keep the fence tight, and the taller 2m mesh may need a second or third line wire. For a long-term fence, battening is also recommended to spread the strain on individual filaments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it's used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mesh is used as a barrier to fallow, roe, red and muntjac deer. Typical jobs include protecting newly planted crops and tree plantings, and guarding newly planted perimeter hedges on farmland against livestock damage. It is suitable for both commercial and domestic use, from farming through to plant protection in gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDeer control netting (heavy game netting)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-tensile strength BOP stretched plastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUV stabilised\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMesh hole size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 × 50mm (approx. 2in square); one published figure gives 50 × 45mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight per area\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80g\/m²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTensile strength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOver 5.8kN\/m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoll length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAvailable sizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5m × 100m; 2m × 100m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eListed weight, 1.5m × 100m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eListed weight, 2m × 100m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurrently unavailable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.2m × 100m; 1.8m × 100m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExpected lifespan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published for this line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended post spacing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published for this line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoll diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published for this line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the right option\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight is the main decision, because the roll length is the same 100m for both sizes. The 2m × 100m roll gives the taller barrier of the two and is the one to choose where you want the most height against deer. The 1.5m × 100m roll is lighter to carry and suits lower runs around new planting. Recommended fence heights for each deer species are not published for this line, so check local guidance if you are unsure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWork out the length of your fence line and divide by 100m to find how many rolls you need. Remember that the 2m mesh may need a second or third straining wire, which adds to the materials list. The 1.2m × 100m and 1.8m × 100m rolls are currently unavailable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation, use \u0026amp; care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet out a line of wooden fencing posts or timber stakes. Run a straining line wire along the top and keep it taut, then fix the netting to it with hog ring clips and hog ring pliers. On the 2m mesh, add a second or third line wire as needed. Fix the netting to each post or stake with U-nails or nylon cable ties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a fence that is meant to last, batten the netting: fix it between the posts or stakes and a length of treated timber running along them. This spreads the load across the mesh rather than concentrating it on a few filaments at each fixing point. Check the fence periodically and re-tension wires if they slacken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need straining wire with this mesh?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is strongly recommended. Straining line wire keeps the netting taut and gives it extra strength. It is fixed along the top with hog ring clips, and the 2m mesh may need a second or third wire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich deer will it keep out?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is described as an effective barrier to fallow, roe, red and muntjac deer when used as deer fencing. Results depend on height, tensioning and local deer pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I fix it straight to timber posts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. U-nails or nylon cable ties fix it to wooden posts or stakes. For a long-term fence, battening with treated timber is recommended because it spreads the strain on the netting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it last outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe netting is UV stabilised and described as having a long life expectancy when exposed to the elements.
