Some bird netting tips

• 3.3 nets will cover 1 ha of vineyard – rule of thumb calculation when trying to work out how many nets you need.
• When retrieving nets remove as many dry sticks as possible. This will dramatically increase the life of your nets.
• When retrieving nets label them with a quality grade A, B or C to manage future upgrades.
• When storing nets place on pallets off the ground , away from the sun and keep rats under control.
