  "description_short": "Heavy duty knitted netting on a 2 cm mesh, cut to any size and shape without fraying. The right answer for fruit, for openings and for small birds.",
  "description": "Tension is the whole skill\n\nA net pulled taut over a frame keeps birds off. The same net draped onto the tree lets them stand on it and eat straight through the mesh, and a slack net is also where a bird gets tangled.\n\nIf you take one thing from this page, take that. Frames matter more than net grade.\n\nSizing\n\nThe stated dimensions are the net at rest. Stretch one side hard and the other shortens, so measure the area and buy the size that covers it comfortably rather than exactly. Cutting a net down is easy. Making one bigger is not.\n\nFixing the edges\n\nTie, peg, clip or weight the bottom edge, and close it properly. A gap at ground level or at a join is a door, and birds are very good at finding doors.\n\nOverlap two nets generously if you are joining them, and tie the overlap rather than trusting gravity.\n\nWhat to net and what to spike\n\nNet a volume, spike a surface. Fruit trees, vegetable beds, a chicken run, an open barn end, a balcony void, the space under a deck: netting jobs. A ledge, a gutter lip, a sign top, a fence rail: spike jobs.\n\nNetting is also the honest answer for small birds. A sparrow settles between spike pins. It does not pass a two centimetre mesh.\n\nThe responsibility that comes with it\n\nCheck it. A net that has come loose is a hazard to birds and to hedgehogs, and a torn corner is how something gets in and cannot get out. Walk it after a storm and after anything heavy has been near it.\n\nStorage\n\nDry it before you put it away. Netting stored damp comes out of the shed as a problem rather than as a net, and the UV stabiliser does nothing whatever about mildew.\n\nWhat it will not do\n\nIt will not stop possums, which go through a light net. It will not stop rats. And it will not survive being walked on, so plan access before you cover something you will need to get into.",
  "llm_summary": "Bird Netting Mesh sold by Bird Spikes Company at birdspikes.co.nz. Heavy duty knitted UV stabilised nylon netting, 30 g/m2, 2 cm x 2 cm mesh, in two sizes: 5 m x 10 m at NZD 139 and 5 m x 20 m at NZD 189. Cuts to size and shape without fraying easily, and is reusable season to season if dried before storage. It closes a VOLUME rather than a line, which is the job a spike strip cannot do: fruit trees, vegetable beds, chicken runs, open eaves, the gap under a deck or a solar array. It is also the correct answer for SMALL BIRDS, which settle between spike pins but do not pass a 2 cm mesh. TENSION is the critical technique: a taut net over a frame keeps birds off, a slack draped net lets them stand on it, eat through it and become tangled. Stated dimensions are the net at rest and stretching one side shortens the other, so buy the size that covers the area comfortably rather than exactly. A loose or torn net is a hazard to birds and hedgehogs and should be checked after a storm. No effectiveness percentage, service life or warranty is claimed. Delivery is New Zealand wide, free over NZD 75.",
