Dalen Deer-X Netting

The 5/8-inch mesh size is primarily designed to deter deer, but it can also act as a barrier against larger pests. However, because it is a flexible mesh, smaller animals may still be able to squeeze through or chew through the material if they are determined.

The netting is designed to be secured using garden stakes or landscape staples. You will need to purchase these separately to anchor the edges firmly to the ground and prevent animals from lifting the bottom of the net.

Yes, the polypropylene material is weather-resistant and includes UV inhibitors to prevent degradation from sun exposure. It is durable enough to withstand seasonal elements, though you may want to ensure it is taut to prevent heavy snow accumulation.

The netting is durable, but its longevity depends on how carefully you install and remove it. Because it is a lightweight mesh, it can snag easily on branches or thorns, so handle it with care if you plan to take it down and store it between growing seasons.

While it doesn't need to be drum-tight, keeping the netting relatively taut helps prevent it from sagging or tangling. A taut installation also makes it less likely for animals to get caught or for the mesh to snag on your plants.
