Quick navigation: Supplier Directory · Sourcing Guide
Vineyard and orchard operators who contact me about bird netting come from Marlborough wine country, Yakima Valley apple blocks, and Okanagan stone-fruit orchards—three very different climates, three very different canopy structures, three very different budgets. What they share is the same frustrating question: which supplier actually understands my scale and crop type?
After more than 25 years manufacturing agricultural netting in China and exporting to growers across Australia, New Zealand, the US, Chile, South Africa, and Europe, I have learned that choosing the right bird netting supplier is less about company size and more about specification fit. A large supplier with the wrong mesh aperture or the wrong UV stabiliser grade costs you far more than a smaller supplier who gets the spec right.
This guide covers seven independent global suppliers plus a frank overview of EyouAgro’s own position. Use the sections below to find what you need quickly:

Bird Netting System Types: How to Choose
Before you evaluate suppliers, confirm which installation system your site requires. The three dominant approaches differ significantly in labour cost, longevity, and harvest access.
| System | How it works | Best for | Labour at harvest | Typical lifespan | Relative cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drape | Net laid directly over canopy, secured at trunk line | Low-trellis vineyards, seasonal install, small blocks <5 ha | 4–6 hrs / ha | 5–8 seasons | Low upfront |
| Side (zone) | Net panels cover both sides of single row, fruiting zone only | Year-round protection, high-wire systems, mechanised harvesting | <1 hr / ha | 8–12 seasons | Medium |
| Overhead canopy | Net suspended above vines on wire system, no plant contact | Large blocks >20 ha, premium varieties, multi-threat (birds + hail + bat) | No removal needed | 12–20 seasons | 20–30% higher upfront, lowest long-run |
Rule of thumb: if your block is under 5 ha and you harvest by hand, drape netting gives you the lowest entry cost. If you run a mechanised operation above 20 ha, the overhead system typically pays for itself within 3–4 seasons through labour savings alone.
Bird Netting by Application
Mesh aperture, UV grade, and net weight vary significantly by crop and pest species. Use this table as a starting specification before contacting any supplier.
| Application | Recommended system | Mesh aperture | UV stabiliser | Key spec note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Large vineyard (>20 ha) | Overhead canopy | 15×15 mm or 20×20 mm | UV8 (8-year rating) | Cable tension load >300 kg/m required |
| Small vineyard (<5 ha) | Drape | 15×15 mm | UV5 | Net width must match row spacing ±0.5 m |
| Apple / pear orchard | Side or overhead | 12×12 mm | UV8 | Starlings require smaller aperture than pigeons |
| Blueberry farm | Overhead tunnel | 10×10 mm or 12×12 mm | UV5–UV8 | Side walls needed — bluebirds enter from ground level |
| Kiwifruit / kiwi berry | Overhead canopy | 20×20 mm | UV8 | High wind-load sites need reinforced border rope |
| Solar agrivoltaic | Perimeter exclusion | 15×15 mm | UV8 | Anti-static treatment recommended near panels |

Sourcing Bird Netting: Regional vs Factory-Direct
One of the most common questions I receive from growers is whether to buy locally from a regional distributor or source directly from a manufacturer in China or Southeast Asia. The honest answer depends on your scale and where you are.
Global Sourcing Decision Matrix
| Buyer profile | Recommended channel | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Small grower, <10,000 sqm, any region | Regional distributor | No MOQ pressure; local stock means faster delivery; technical advice in local language |
| Mid-scale, 10,000–50,000 sqm, Europe or North America | Regional distributor or importer | Import duties + freight often offset any factory price advantage; distributor handles customs |
| Large operation, >50,000 sqm, any region | Factory-direct (China / SE Asia) | Custom specs, lower per-metre cost, full container economics; requires import experience |
| Government / NGO agricultural project | Tender-qualified local supplier or factory with ISO cert | Procurement rules typically require local entity or third-party certification |
A Note on Import Duties
Tariff rates on agricultural netting (HS code 5608.11 / 5608.19) vary significantly by country. Australia, New Zealand, and most of Southeast Asia apply low or zero rates on agricultural inputs; the European Union applies 4–6.5%; the United States currently applies additional Section 301 tariffs on Chinese-manufactured netting. Before making a factory-direct purchasing decision, I recommend contacting your local customs broker to confirm the landed cost. The per-meter savings can evaporate quickly if you have not factored in duties and compliance documentation.
Where EyouAgro Fits
EyouAgro (Joyeyou Industrial Group, Yiwu, Zhejiang) is a factory-direct manufacturer. We produce HDPE knitted netting for vineyards, orchards, blueberry farms, and solar installations in standard and custom specifications. Lead time from order confirmation to shipment is typically 30–40 days for standard lines; 75–90 days for fully custom specifications including aperture, weight, UV grade, and border rope configuration.
We are a practical fit for buyers who:
- Need quantities above 50,000 sqm per order
- Require custom mesh aperture (10×10 mm through 30×30 mm) or non-standard net dimensions
- Have existing import experience or a freight forwarder in place
- Are in Australia, New Zealand, Chile, South Africa, Spain, Italy, or France (markets where we have shipped regularly and can provide shipping references)
We are not the right fit if you need small quantities, require local installation support, or are in a market where import duties make factory-direct uneconomical. In those cases, the regional suppliers listed above are a more practical starting point.
If you want to evaluate whether factory-direct makes sense for your project, send me your specifications and I will give you a landed-cost estimate including freight and standard duty rates for your destination. Contact: info@eyouagro.com
Conclusion
There is no universally “best” bird netting supplier. The right choice depends on your crop type, block size, installation system, and import logistics. For small and mid-scale operations, the regional suppliers in this list—Nixalite (US), Intelligro (NZ), Arrigoni (Italy), Smart Net Systems (Canada), and Eco-Environmental (UK)—offer practical local support that factory-direct channels cannot replicate. For large-scale growers with existing import experience, factory-direct sourcing from China or Southeast Asia typically offers better specification flexibility and cost per metre.
Whichever supplier you choose, request a UV stabilisation certificate (HALS additive grade and loading percentage), a sample panel for tensile and aperture testing, and a minimum of three grower references in a climate comparable to yours before committing to a large order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What mesh aperture size do I need for bird netting?
Aperture size depends on the primary pest species. For starlings and small passerines, use 10×10 mm or 12×12 mm. For pigeons, doves, and mynas, 15×15 mm is standard. For larger species such as cockatoos or crows, 19×19 mm to 20×20 mm works. When in doubt, go smaller—a net that excludes small birds will always exclude larger ones, but not vice versa.
What material is best for agricultural bird netting?
HDPE (high-density polyethylene) is the most widely used material for agricultural bird netting. It offers good UV resistance (with HALS stabilisers), does not absorb water, and is light enough for overhead canopy systems. Polypropylene (PP) is cheaper but degrades faster under UV exposure. Nylon is used for heavy-duty exclusion but is significantly more expensive and retains moisture. For most vineyard and orchard applications, UV-stabilised HDPE knitted netting is the correct choice.
How long does bird netting last?
Lifespan varies by system and UV grade. Drape nets installed seasonally and removed post-harvest last 5–8 seasons. Side netting left in place year-round lasts 8–12 seasons if made with UV8-grade HDPE. Overhead canopy systems, where the net has no direct plant contact, regularly reach 12–20 seasons. UV certification testing standards (ISO 4892-3) should be requested from suppliers to compare products objectively.
Drape vs side vs overhead: which system is right for me?
Drape netting suits small blocks (under 5 ha) with hand-harvesting and seasonal installation. Side netting suits mechanised operations with high-wire trellis systems where netting stays in place year-round. Overhead canopy suits large blocks (over 20 ha) where labour savings over multiple seasons justify the higher installation cost. For blueberry and kiwifruit, overhead tunnel systems with enclosed side walls are the standard.
What should I check when evaluating a bird netting supplier?
Five things to verify: (1) UV stabilisation certificate with HALS additive type and loading percentage; (2) Aperture tolerance—ask for a ±1 mm or better guarantee; (3) Break load / tensile strength test report per ISO 13934; (4) Grower references in a climate similar to yours; (5) Lead time and MOQ—regional distributors typically stock standard sizes while factories require minimum order quantities of 5,000–10,000 sqm for custom specifications.
Field Note from Kevin Lyu, EyouAgro
Growers who contact me expecting that a larger supplier automatically means a safer purchase are often surprised by what I tell them. The real risk in sourcing bird netting is not supplier size—it is specification mismatch. I have seen 20-ha Marlborough vineyard blocks fitted with 20×20 mm drape nets by a well-known distributor, only for the grower to discover post-install that local starling populations pass through freely. The correct spec was 12×12 mm. In Trentino and Yakima, I see the opposite problem: growers over-specifying to 10×10 mm when 15×15 mm would exclude the relevant species at lower cost and weight. Get the species list from your regional agricultural extension office before you request quotes, and insist that every supplier confirms the aperture is tested to ±1 mm tolerance. That single step eliminates most sourcing mistakes.
