Commonly Asked Questions

A vineyard drape netting is an agricultural mesh that you cover your vineyard trees with to prevent your grapes from bird and insect damage before they ripen.

It would help if you secured it close to the grapevine trunks to prevent the birds from flying beneath the net and feasting on your grapes.

The vineyard drape netting should remain in place until you harvest the grapes in the fall.

Birds start to feed on your grapes just before they ripen. To keep birds off their vineyards, some farmers use noisemakers or high-tech scarecrows to scare the birds away from their crops.

Nonetheless, birds get used to these appliances with time and start feasting on your grapes yet again.  Some grape owners use methyl anthranilate.

Methyl anthranilate is an organically occurring compound that has a taste that birds loathe.

Grapes start to ripen to keep birds away from your grapes once and for all.

To protect your vines from beetles, flies, birds, moths, and other giant insects, cover them with a tiny mesh. Your mesh should be between 0.4 to 0.6 millimeters.

The nets create a significant barrier and stop these pests from getting to your fruits. Using drape nettings lowers the need to use any chemicals to control the bugs and birds.

Unfortunately, poorly installed drape netting enables birds to enter it, trapping them inside.

Smaller birds, such as tiny sparrows and newborn birds, might become trapped in the mesh, injuring their beaks and other dangers.

Birds' legs and feet can also become entangled, trapping them and preventing them from fleeing safely.

Other animals also get trapped in the netting. Depending on the climatic conditions of your area, you can find snakes and other creatures within your mesh-covered crops.

Of course, the threat to cultivators is high, and rescuing a terrified stranded snake is a dangerous endeavor.

Putting netting over a vineyard is a simple process. You do not have to sweat a lot to put it in place.

Even though netting your grapes early requires you to remove the net to check on your grapes, it is the best alternative for keeping the predators away. Wrap the net around the entire vine, then tuck it beneath the trellis and tie the underside of the net with garden twine to close it.

The best time to net the grapes is right after the bunches form, usually around mid-spring. Some grape variations start to ripen towards the end of August, indicating that the grapes are big and colorful at the beginning of summer. Grapes develop their color several weeks before they are fully ripe.

It would help if you netted your grapes before the birds get to them – before the bunches become soft or lose their final color. After installing the net, keep it on until you harvest all your grapes.

Even grapevines are sturdy. They require a significant time commitment from home gardeners as they can take two or more years to bear fruit. Every other spring, the crops also need extensive pruning.

It would be heart-wrenching to see wildlife consume your grapes before you had an opportunity to taste it after all that care.  Draping your grapes as bunches develop helps to keep pests and birds from your harvest.

Netting is a popular and widely used method of keeping birds away from rape vine. Yes, it is effective as it physically puts the birds at bay. But it has a downside to it.  If the netting is not installed correctly, it can cause problems.

The birds can reach the unwanted area and end up trapped inside the netting. They may end up dying in there, and as you know, dead animals attract other unwanted predators.

Vineyard Netting - The Definitive Guide 2021
Introduction

Birds are among the most ferocious vine predators. The only effective method of protecting grape crops from these predators is to use proper netting.

But even though it is a very effective method of preventing damage, it can be labor-intensive. Birds generally start picking grapes when the sugar content reaches a certain level.

And farmers can not harvest the grapes before the sugar content reaches the optimum level because they can’t make wine from unripened grapes. So, they need a way to help the grapes ripen fully while keeping the birds away. And that’s where bird netting comes in handy.

This definitive guide will help you know everything about vineyard drape netting. But first, let’s see what a vineyard drape netting is, to begin with.

Table of Contents

What is Vineyard Drape Netting?

A vineyard drape netting is a mesh you use to cover your grapevines to protect them from being ravaged by birds and other predators, particularly in large-scale farming.

Grape netting is manufactured from a polyethylene mesh and six industrial strength monofilaments. It is rot-proof, waterproof, and flame resistant, as well as UV stabilized.

What are the Different Types of Vineyard Drape Netting

Different types of birds wreak havoc on your grapevine. But the most common ones to look for are blackbirds, gray finches, house sparrows, starlings, and silvereyes.

If you notice any of these birds lurking around your vineyard, it is indeed time to take concrete action and grab one of the following types of vineyard netting.

Knotted

Knotted netting is made of a high-density polyethylene monofilament. The only difference from some other nets is that the twine is knotted during the production process, boosting the netting’s toughness.

Each strand has a knotted breaking strength of more than forty-five pounds. It’s one of the best alternatives for commercial vineyards as it’s very effective in keeping even the big birds off the vine.

Extruded

Extruded netting is manufactured from black polypropylene, a flexible polymer. It’s light and UV-protected. Go for the ones with at least a 3/4-inch mesh size.

You can set it up under, around, or over your vineyard based on the type of birds you are up against.  You may need to add a layer of mesh underneath the netting for tinier birds.

Knitted

Knitted netting is created from high-density polyethylene monofilament, making it an excellent choice for heavy-duty applications. It is sturdy and lasts longer than extruded netting.

It’s flame-resistant and super strong, so it’ll keep birds from nesting in your vineyard. It’s simple to set up and is featherweight. So,  it won’t damage your grapes.

Why is Grape Netting Important?

Grape vineyard netting is crucial for the following reasons:

When used correctly, visual and noise scaring systems keep most birds out of your vines.

Nevertheless, birds can become accustomed to these repellents, reducing their effectiveness.

Properly installed nettings provide much more protection and save growers the frustrations that come with protecting unnetted fields.

What is the Importance of Installing a Grape Vineyard Netting?

Every year, birds consume an estimated ten percent of British Columbia’s wine grape crop.

The amount of loss varies each year greatly, as well as between places and grape variations.

Red grape varieties are more vulnerable. Large flocks of birds can consume a significant portion of your crop, which costs thousands of dollars per acre in lost cash.

Noisemakers that scare birds away from crops can irritate nearby residents, including both urban and farming neighbors.

Furthermore, growing grapes for icewine prolongs the time that noise-canceling gadgets must be used to safeguard the vineyard.

Crop netting is a quiet and effective method to safeguard grapes while also fostering positive relations with neighbors.
