Description
Green anti bird netting provides a simple, effective way to protect garden crops from unwanted birds. Suitable for all types of gardens and allotments, it helps protect both fruit and vegetables through the growing season. The mesh is strong, tangle-free and light enough to place directly over crops. While it prevents birds from causing damage, it still allows bees to pass through for pollination.
Please note: the per metre (1m) option lets you choose exactly how much netting you need — simply select your width and choose per metre to buy in singe increments which will arrive as one continuous piece, or select a pre-cut length (5m, 10m, 20m or 100m) for a ready-to-use piece.

Difference Between Green Bird Netting And Black Bird Netting
The main difference between green anti bird netting and black anti bird netting is the mesh size. Black netting has a 20mm x 20mm hole, while green netting has a slightly smaller 19mm x 19mm hole. Both types are designed to block birds but still allow pollinating insects into the growing area.
Green Anti Bird Netting Mesh Size And Uses
The 19mm x 19mm mesh holes stop birds without harming them. Lightweight but robust, the netting can be used over fruit bushes, vegetable beds, garden hoops, garden tunnels and fruit cages. It is flexible enough to cover plants directly while leaving space for growth beneath.
How To Use Green Bird Netting
- Directly over crops — drape loosely over strawberries, brassicas or soft fruit with some slack to allow for growth.
- Over garden hoops — use with flexible garden hoops to create a simple cloche tunnel that keeps birds off while maintaining airflow.
- On a fruit cage frame — cut to size and use as replacement or additional netting on a walk-in fruit cage or A-frame cage.
- As cage netting — pair with our fruit cage netting range for a complete crop protection setup.
