Rally Extruded Anti-Bird Netting Black 5m x 5m – 15mm Mesh Reusable Bird Net

Rally Extruded Anti-Bird Netting Black 5m x 5m: 15mm Mesh Bird Net

Rally Extruded Anti-Bird Netting is a lightweight plastic bird net used as a physical barrier to keep birds off fruit trees, vegetables and garden crops. This is the black version, measuring 5m x 5m with a 15x15mm mesh at 30gsm, made from polyethylene, giving 25 square metres of cover from a single pack. It's a drape-over net, so you throw it over the plant or frame you're protecting and it keeps birds from reaching the fruit.

The "extruded" part refers to how it's made. Extruded netting is formed as a one-piece plastic mesh rather than knitted from thread, which makes it light, inexpensive and easy to handle for quick seasonal protection. It's a popular choice for home gardeners who want to cover a tree or bed for the fruiting season and then pack the net away and reuse it.

A Note on Mesh Size and Wildlife

This net has a 15mm mesh, designed for keeping birds off crops. Where wildlife such as flying foxes and reptiles may be present, be aware that a finer net (a mesh you can't poke a finger through, around 5mm) is the recommended wildlife-safe option, and in some areas it may be required for backyard fruit netting. To reduce entanglement risk, hold this net out taut on a frame rather than leaving it loose, secure it at the base, and check it regularly. For fully wildlife-safe fruit protection, a fine 5mm knitted net is the better choice.

How to Use It

Drape the net over the tree, bed or frame you're protecting and gather it in at the base so birds can't get underneath, tying it around the trunk or pinning it to the ground. For a cleaner result and to stop birds pecking fruit through the mesh, hold the net out on stakes or a frame rather than resting it straight on the foliage, and pull it reasonably taut. Being extruded plastic, handle it without snagging on sharp branches, and pack it away once the crop is picked so it lasts for future seasons.
