Insect netting that protects crops without restricting airflow
Insect netting, specified for your crop
In short.
Protect your crops from pests without chemical overuse or a wrong mesh choice. Too fine blocks airflow; too open fails against the pest. We match the mesh aperture to your target pest from real catalogue specifications, and coordinate quotes with vetted manufacturing partners.

When the span is wider than the roll
Netting is made to the width of the machine that knits it, not to the width of your block. When the span is wider, the joint has to be made somewhere. There are only two places it can happen, and a quote should tell you which one you are buying.
Catalogue width for this family: 1 – 5 m. Anything wider than that is a joint, made in the field or made at the factory.
| Where the joint is made | What you receive | What it costs you |
|---|---|---|
| On site, by your crew | Strips at catalogue width, overlapped and fixed in the field. | Installation days, fixings, and one more line for the wind to work on at every joint. None of it appears in a price per square metre. |
| At the factory, before it ships | Panels assembled to the width you need to cover, delivered as one piece. | A stated line on the quote, plus its effect on packing, freight volume and the minimum quantity that makes the run worth setting up. |
What we will not write down before it is confirmed A maximum assembled width. Achievable width, added cost, added lead time and the minimum quantity are confirmed with the manufacturing partner and stated on your quote before you order. Where a span cannot be served in one piece, we say so and quote the strip layout instead.
What to send us The width you need to cover, not the roll width you think you should ask for. The quote form has a field for the span, and a second one for how you want that width made up.

Request a quote for this spec →Use it when
You need to physically exclude flying pests such as aphids, thrips, whiteflies and moths from greenhouse or field crops, without chemicals.
Do not use it when
You mainly need shade, hail protection or a bird barrier: the aperture and weight are wrong for those jobs.
Typical applications

Frequently asked questions
Which mesh size do I need for thrips, aphids or whiteflies?
It depends on the opening size in millimetres, not the mesh count. As reference points from Bethke and Paine (1991): about 0.19 mm for thrips, 0.34 mm for aphids, 0.46 mm for whiteflies. Our mesh visualizer shows each aperture at scale, and the quote confirms the exact specification.
What mesh aperture stops spotted wing drosophila?
For spotted wing drosophila in berry and stone fruit, US extension programmes work to an opening below 0.98 mm, finer than what is used against thrips, aphids or whiteflies. Timing decides as much as the fabric: extension guidance is to net once pollination is complete, because an aperture sized to exclude an insect of that size also excludes a pollinator of that size. Our buyer's reference lists the aperture pest by pest, and the quote confirms the exact specification.
What widths and lengths are available, and what if my rows are wider than a roll?
Standard widths run from 1 to 5 metres and standard lengths are 50, 100 or 200 metres per roll, with custom dimensions possible. A wider cover is built by laying strips side by side with an overlap, so the roll width decides how many strips and joints you need, which the area alone never tells you. State the width you actually need to cover, not only the total area, and we confirm the roll format, the overlap and the joining method on the quote.
Is the netting UV stabilised?
Yes. The catalogue insect netting is 100% virgin HDPE with 3% UV treatment. Weight options range from 30 to 150 gsm depending on the mesh and use case.
Which colours can I order?
White, green, blue and black are standard, and custom colours are possible depending on quantity. Colour affects light and heat under the net, so tell us the crop and climate and we advise.
Does finer mesh always protect better?
No. Finer mesh excludes smaller insects but also cuts airflow and raises heat under the cover. The right choice is the largest aperture that still stops your target pest. Our guide on mesh size by pest explains the trade-off with sources.

- Mesh count vs aperture: why 50 mesh is not enough why a supplier quoting "50 mesh" and one quoting "0.25 mm" are not answering the same question.
- Greenhouse insect netting and airflow: the trade-off buyers miss what a finer mesh costs you in ventilation, before you specify one.
