Bird Netting
Reliable protection for vineyards and orchards
Bird damage can write off a significant portion of a crop. Reliable netting, installed before the season starts, is one of the most cost-effective protection investments a grower can make.
Ritex bird netting is manufactured from 100% virgin HDPE monofilament yarn — lightweight, high-strength, and built to hold up across multiple seasons. The open mesh structure maintains air circulation and keeps shading to a minimum, so your crop isn't compromised in the process of protecting it.
Nets can be supported by basic posts and wireframes, or draped directly over canopy structures — no specialist equipment required. With maximum UV stabilisation, they're built to endure the elements and perform season after season.
We supply side nets, single-row drape nets, and multi-row cross-row configurations. Net width, mesh size, mesh shape, and colour are all fully customisable. Low minimum order quantities mean you can order what you need — whether that's one net or a full season's supply.

Why choose Ritex bird netting?
-
Made from 100% virgin high-density polyethylene. Virgin HDPE delivers consistent tensile strength and resists degradation better than recycled alternatives, giving you reliable performance across each season.
-
We add the maximum level of UV inhibitor available to our netting range. All nets are backed by a 10-season UV degradation warranty when properly handled and stored in the UV protection bag supplied.
-
Single-row nets are available in widths from 1.2m to 12m. Cross-row applications range from 12m to 30m. For larger block coverage, nets can be custom-joined to widths up to 50m. Lengths are fully customisable on forward order.
-
Standard options are white and black. Custom colours are available on forward order. Mesh sizes range from 9mm to 28mm, in Square, Diamond, Hexamesh, and Quad-Hexamesh/X-weave configurations. Colour-coded centre or edge lines are available for year-of-manufacture identification.
We can produce a color-coded centre or edge lines for easy identification by year of manufacture.
