If you manage farms, orchards, lawns or garden distribution business in Europe, you must have hesitated: should you buy
metal wire fence or plastic agricultural net for enclosure protection?
Wire fence was widely used years ago, yet more and more buyers switch to UV stabilized PP plastic net nowadays. Let’s
check the differences simply.
1. Highly prone to rust: As Europe experiences high levels of rainfall and humidity throughout the year, wire mesh corrodes
and rusts quickly when left outdoors, requiring frequent maintenance and replacement;
2. Excessive weight and high installation costs: Metal fencing is bulky, and its erection requires a significant amount of labour,
resulting in higher overall installation costs;
3. Prone to causing injury to flora and fauna: The sharp metal edges can easily scratch fruit trees, livestock and poultry.
1. Our agricultural plastic netting is manufactured from brand-new virgin PP resin and is specially formulated with UV-resistant
and anti-ageing additives for European outdoor environments: it will never rust and has a service life of 5–8 years when exposed
to sunlight outdoors;
2. It is lightweight, allowing a single person to lay and install it, thereby significantly reducing labour costs;
3. The edges are smooth and soft, so they will not injure plants or animals; we can produce versions with reinforced bottom edges
to serve as deer-proof netting, mole-proof netting, livestock fencing and plant fencing, according to your requirements.
Plastic netting is generally more suitable for the vast majority of agricultural and horticultural projects in Europe:
1. Vineyards and various types of orchards: to prevent deer and other wildlife from feeding on fruit and saplings
2. Private lawns and golf courses: laid underground to prevent moles from damaging grass roots
3. Small-scale poultry farms: fencing for the safe rearing of chickens, ducks and geese
4. Vegetable greenhouses: Support for climbing crops such as runner beans and cucumbers
5. Courtyard gardens: Landscape zoning and protection of young seedlings
Wire mesh fencing is only recommended for large cattle and sheep farms where extremely high impact resistance is required.
Consequently, compared to traditional wire mesh, UV-resistant PP plastic netting offers better value for money, a longer service
life and greater practicality for the vast majority of farms, orchards and private gardens across Europe.
Not only does it reduce ongoing maintenance and labour costs, but it also ensures safer and more hassle-free use.
