AlpineReach Garden Netting 7.5 x 65 ft Heavy Duty Bird Net, Deer, Plant Protection Extra Strong Woven Mesh, Reusable Kit with Zip Ties, Animal Fencing for Fruits Trees, Green

For the last two Summers I have been struggling with really cheap, hard to work with netting that I got at Home Depot. I finally broke down and ordered this netting and it just got here today and I have been out putting them over my strawberry beds, asking myself why I did not order this product sooner. This is exactly what I was hoping the bird netting would be... Durable, with a good stretch, and easy to work with, for a great price. The other stuff I've been using would catch on everything, it would stick to your shoes and trip you If you stepped on it, it would catch on bricks or leaves or weeds or anything that came in contact with. This netting doesn't catch on anything and is easy to work with, doesn't get tangled up, is fairly thick, feels durable, and you can walk on it without it getting tangled in your shoes! It is perfect for using as bird netting over strawberries and other berries, and things you need to keep the deer and other critters out of. With the quality of this product I fully anticipate getting multiple seasons out of it.What it will NOT do: It will not keep a determined 250 lb deer from forcing his way through a fence made of this product, strung between two fence posts; It will not keep out anything with teeth that is willing to chew through it (You are able to cut it with scissors, after all). In my experience, having this product over veggies or fruit is enough of a deterrent to keep the deer from trying to nibble on it. And it is great for birds. But if you have a critter that is determined enough to push through a fence, or to sit and chew through this, then you may want to try a different product, but so far that has not been an issue for me in all the years I've been gardening.

Great product for protecting plants. Lightweight and easy to install and it seems to be very strong. Great value.

I just received this and installed it 3 days ago so no review as to longevity but it seems like it will last... My only complaint is that it's supposed to be 7.5' wide and it appears to be about 4' my fence in the picture is 4' tall with 2' extensions at the top and it didn't reach the bottom of the fence anywhere... It shipped fast and unrolled and installed easy... But I'm only giving it 3.5 stars due to the size...

This netting is so much better than the cheap stuff I bought last year. It is tangle free and allows both pollinators and rain in the garden while preventing access to birds and animals. The dark color blends into the environment. I draped it over an old 12x12 EZ up frame and cinched it. I also left some excess at the bottom of each side to weigh it down. It was easy to install. Great functionality. I am very happy with the product.

Amazing product. Very happy. We have very strong deer pressure here and this year has been the worst ever. They have eaten everything. This netting is so much better than that brittle, plastic stuff that is impossible to work with and impossible to dispose of. This is more like fish nets. It's stretchy and cottony and the cable ties are great for securing it. I made hoops out of plumbing conduit, (if that's what they call it). 1/2"x 10 feet placed over 18" rebar 3/8" width. The whole system is working great. I used one 15'x30 cut in half for 2 veg beds and one whole 15x30 in my backyard over my garden there. I grow everything together like a mash up sort of, chaos but ordered. The plants are happier and healthier this way and I like it better than uniform rows. I never use any insecticides. Period. Don't need them when you grow like this. If you are a gardener and have been struggling to protect your plants from deer this product will save you a ton of work and heartache. Forget those deer repellents sprays and granules. They don't work. Once I put this up and my plants had a chance to thrive, without being devoured by deer, they took off. Tomatoes, cabbage, peppers, green beans, eggplants, potatoes, Swiss chard, beets, basil, etc. all safe and secure. And, it looks nice too. The black net basically disappears into the background. I check it everyday to make sure no birds or snakes or dragon flies get caught. So far so good. Pollinators need to be protected. And the snakes keep the bad pests out so they are welcome too.

Netting is only 7.5' if you totally stretch it out and staple it or wire/clip it every 12 inches. Otherwise the material shrinks together. This didn't work for for covering a 5' wide bed of plants without an absurd amount of staples to hold it apart, so I returned it. The material seems sturdy and would likely hold up to several seasons of use.

It does what it says, very strong material, keeps the birds and squirrels away 100%, highly recommend this product, easy installation.

Perfect solution to keep the sparrows from eating our garden. We put an owl up lasted a day a sparrow sitting right by it. But the netting keeps them out. Thanks
