Deer Netting

Keep deer away from valuable crops and planting areas with this strong, lightweight garden netting. Deer can cause significant damage to vegetables, fruit and ornamental plants, often feeding when gardens are quiet and leaving damage behind before it is noticed. Creating a physical barrier around vulnerable areas helps reduce access and protect more of your harvest.

Strong Deer Netting for Gardens, Orchards and Growing Areas

Made from extruded mesh, this Gardening Naturally deer netting weighs 80g per square metre and has a high tensile strength. It is light enough to handle easily while providing a practical barrier around areas that need protection.

The netting can be used around vegetable gardens, fruit-growing areas, trees and larger boundaries where deer are causing problems.

Deer Netting Kits With Stakes, Clips and Mesh

For a complete setup, deer netting fence kits are available with the netting, stakes and clips required to create a protective boundary.

The kits can be used in both smaller gardens and larger outdoor spaces, providing a straightforward way to build a barrier without having to source each component separately.

Black Deer Netting With a Low-Visibility Finish

The black mesh is designed to be unobtrusive once installed, helping it blend into the garden rather than dominating the view.

It is rot proof and suitable for outdoor use, while its lightweight construction makes it easier to put up, move or adjust when required.

Installing Deer Netting Around the Garden

Start by marking the area you want to protect, then unroll the netting along the boundary and attach it to stakes at suitable intervals.

Keep the lower edge close to the ground and use additional pegs where necessary, particularly where the surface is uneven. At gates or access points, the netting can be overlapped so the area remains accessible without leaving a permanent gap.

Can Deer Netting Be Cut to Size?

Yes. The mesh can be trimmed with sharp scissors or secateurs to fit around corners, trees and irregular boundaries. Secure the cut edge to the nearest stake after trimming.

What Height Should Deer Netting Be?

A taller barrier can help discourage deer from jumping into protected areas. The suitable height will depend on the location and the area being protected.

How Can Deer Netting Be Attached to Wooden Posts?

The mesh can be fixed to wooden posts using staples. A short batten can then be fitted over the mesh to help spread the pressure and keep the netting secure.

Is Deer Netting Suitable Around Pets and Wildlife?

The mesh has an open design and is relatively unobtrusive. Keeping it properly tensioned, securing it close to ground level and regularly checking the edges can help reduce potential snagging points.

Can Deer Netting Be Used Again?

Yes. When no longer required, allow the netting to dry, roll it up and store it away from direct sunlight. It can then be reused for temporary fencing or different garden layouts.

Can Deer Netting Be Used in Exposed or Windy Areas?

Yes, but extra support may be useful. Position stakes closer together on exposed boundaries, add more pegs along the bottom edge and keep the mesh properly tensioned to reduce movement in strong winds.

We also sell deer netting fence kits complete with stakes.
