Material selection of anti-bird net
Anti-bird nets are generally made of high-density polyethylene resin.
Different from other materials, HDPE material has better toughness and durability. This material can guarantee the strength of the bird net and provide a service life of more than 5 years.
HDPE material is completely recyclable, environmentally friendly and will not cause environmental pollution. At the same time, the high-density material can be made very light and thin, allowing sunlight and moisture to pass through. This lightweight bird net provides complete protection for blueberries.
PP material also has a very similar appearance, but compared to the life, it will be much worse, PP material can be used for about 2-3 years. At the same time, the strength will be reduced to a certain extent.
Polyester materials are generally much weaker against UV rays, depending on the composition ratio of the polyester material.
Selection of size and color
There are 3 sizes of holes for conventional blueberry netting, such as 25mm x 25mm, 19mm x 19mm, 15mm x 15mm. The 15mm size can handle almost all birds. Depending on the species of bird, different meshes can be selected.
The size of the mesh is usually customizable and can be customized according to your requirements. This will not be wasted.
The colors of blueberry netting usually consist of white, black, and green. White is the most conspicuous, black and green can be better integrated into the environment.
Selection of accessories for blueberry netting
