1. Can I cut the net further if I need to?
A: Yes. Because it is a knotted net, it will not unravel. You can trim it to specific shapes around pipes or architectural features using sharp scissors.
2. Is this net safe for birds?
When installed correctly and kept taut, the net acts as a physical barrier that birds cannot pass. It is a humane solution designed to deter, not to trap.
3. How long will the netting last outdoors?
Under normal UK weather conditions, our UV-stabilized polyethylene netting is expected to last 10+ years.
4. Will this netting withstand heavy snow or high winds?
Yes, the knotted construction is specifically designed to handle environmental stress. Because the twine is fine (approx. 1mm), it has a very low surface area, allowing high winds to pass through rather than "catching" the net like a sail. For snow, we recommend ensuring the net is installed with a slight slope or kept under high tension to allow snow to fall through the mesh or slide off, preventing excessive weight build-up.
5. Can this netting be used for ponds or water features?
Absolutely. Since our polyethylene twine is chemically inert and rot-proof, it will not degrade when exposed to water or submerged. It is an excellent solution for keeping birds away from fish stocks or preventing leaves and debris from entering the water, as it does not absorb moisture and will remain lightweight even when wet.
