PetiDream Bird Netting -Stops Hawks,Birds from Plants,Fruit Trees and Vegetables - Perfect as Garden Netting and Protective Net in 13ftx 33ft,Black

You must stake this down to keep it stretched.....will not keep shape by just draping over your plants

I wanted to protect the cherries from the crows. This came with no instructions and I just draped it over the tree, hanging freely at the bottom. A smaller bird got up underneath and then was freaking out trying to fly away; that was relatively easy to fix by opening up one side and securing (most of) the bottom after he had gone. The next day, what I thought was a leaf in the bottom of the net was a sparrow who had wedged himself halfway through the net and hung upside down for I don't know how long. I had to glove up and cut him loose, first from the whole net so I could get to the table, and then from the smaller portion still wrapped around him. Since I did not set out to injure/stress birds, I just took the whole shebang off the tree and put it away. I don't think they'll let me send it back with a sparrow sized hole cut in it. So beware, you have to scoop up the bottom and secure it around the trunk of the tress lest you want some adventures like I had.

I bought this to put over my pots. The black crows were brutally murdering my plants and completely digging up the soil. I had put tin foil over them, as some websites suggested, but that only seemed to antagonize the birds. I wrapped this around all of my pots 1-2 times for good measure and they haven't been messed with since. A little goes a long way and I have lots of left over for next season.

I've had a very easy time putting it up, and it even survived some rough handling during draping it over the arch supports. Birds hate me now and my strawberries are safe.

I have purchased many different types of netting only to get annoyed at how hard it is to place on and around my lemon tree. This one is an exception. It was very easy but I did have my daughter to help me stretch to go around the tree. Covered more than what I needed so save the rest for next year. It will be interesting to see if as easy coming off as it went on. So far I would purchase again just for the ease of putting it on.

It's netting so it does tangle but you have to expect that. It's easy to arrange on our fig tree. We have tried other options & this one works the best. Good buy!

I planted a cherry tree a couple of years ago. In the first year, we only had a couple of hands full of fruit. Or more correctly, we had a couple of beaks full since every single cherry was snarfed by our feathered friends.So last year, I put this netting over the tree and, while we still didn't get a lot of fruit (seems it takes a few years) we did beat the birds to it.It is a bit tricky to get the netting over the tree, which is only about 7' tall (so far). But the difficulty is simply due to the interaction of netting and tree branches. Can't imagine any other product would be easier. This was inexpensive and easy to trim to size so I do recommend it.

Before this net sparrows were eating my flower seeds ! I wish i'd gotten the net long ago.!!
