Advantages of overhead (complete enclosure netting) netting:
Protects your crop while harvesting
The crop is not exposed to predators: your netting remains in place while harvesting. Just lift the panels at the end of the row to allow access for harvesters or equipment. (see photo)
Allows for mixed variety harvest without crop exposure.
Birds cannot push the netting onto the vines or bushes allowing contact with the fruit by picking through the netting.
Vines can be managed under the netting.
Properly installed and managed overhead systems will outlast draped style or side netting.
After your initial installation, less labour is required in spreading and removal of netting on a yearly basis; just slide your netting to end of the row and cover for the winter.(see photo)
No expensive machinery needed to install or remove netting.
