Insect Netting - Fine Mesh Protection - Wildlife Safe Barrier for Fruit Fly & Midges

Insect Netting - Fine Mesh Protection - Wildlife Safe Barrier for Fruit Fly & Midges

As the heat rises and fruit flies become active, a standard bird net isn't enough to save your harvest. Rally Insect Netting features an ultra-fine mesh designed specifically to block small pests like midges and fruit flies from laying eggs in your produce. Unlike wider meshes, this tight weave provides a secure shield while also offering a 20% shade factor, protecting your sensitive crops from harsh sunscald during peak summer.

Best For Gardeners requiring a fine-mesh barrier to stop small insects like fruit fly without trapping wildlife or overheating plants.

Key Features

• Micro-Mesh Barrier: The precise 1mm x 2.5mm hole size is engineered to physically prevent small garden pests, including fruit flies and white butterflies, from accessing your plants.

• Wildlife Safe: The tight weave prevents birds, bats, and reptiles from becoming entangled, making it a safe and responsible choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.

• Integrated Sun Protection: Offers a 20% shade factor, which helps reduce heat stress and prevents sunscald on ripening fruit and leafy greens like lettuce and spinach.

• Breathable & Permeable: Despite the fine mesh, the fabric allows excellent airflow and lets rain penetrate, ensuring your plants remain healthy and well-ventilated to prevent fungal issues.

• UV Stabilised: Manufactured to withstand the harsh sun, ensuring the material remains strong and effective throughout the long growing season.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
