{"title":"Orchard \u0026 Fruit Protection Systems","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"viper-fruit-tree-nets","title":"Viper Fruit Tree Nets","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery unnetted fruit tree is crop lost to birds, bats, flying foxes, possums, and deer. For the commercial grower, that loss is measured in kilograms per tree per season. For the home orchardist, it is the difference between a harvest and a disappointment. Viper Fruit Tree Nets provide physical exclusion that stops the damage the day the net goes on. 5mm x 5mm diamond mesh excludes pest species while allowing airflow and light penetration. Woven PE construction (not knotted) holds mesh shape under tension and resists tearing better than knotted alternatives at the same weight. UV-treated at 30 GSM with 5-year UV resistance under Australian conditions. Lightweight enough to drape and peg without specialist tools. Three sizes: 2.5m x 2.5m for a single compact tree, 4m x 4m for a medium tree or section, and 10m x 10m for an orchard row or multi-tree canopy. Drape net over the tree crown and secure at the base. Birds and bats will find and use any open edge: close all access gaps with pegs or ties. An unsecured edge is an invitation. Inspect nets at the start of each season. Check for tears, UV degradation, or damaged mesh. Any trapped wildlife should be carefully and promptly removed. Store dry and folded when not in use. A net that lasts five seasons is the most cost-effective form of physical crop protection available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viper","offers":[{"title":"2.5m x 2.5m","offer_id":46286696939719,"sku":"15-VFTN-2.x2.5m","price":7.48,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4m x 4m","offer_id":46286696972487,"sku":"15-VFTN-4x4m","price":14.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10m x 10m","offer_id":46286697005255,"sku":"15-VFTN-10x10","price":49.88,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0720\/2819\/2967\/files\/viper-fruit-tree-nets-size-2-point-5-metres-hero_e1a0953b-32b8-496b-8490-6e725b800745.png?v=1773556330"},{"product_id":"viper-fruit-tree-premium-net-with-velcro","title":"Viper Fruit Tree Premium Net with Velcro","description":"\u003cp\u003eFitted fruit tree netting for excluding birds, bats, flying foxes, possums, and deer from individual high-value trees. Growers who access their trees regularly during the growing season for watering, picking, or monitoring often remove a standard draped net early because reopening it is too inconvenient. The Premium Net addresses that with a velcro closure and drawstring: open in under 2 minutes, re-close without unpinning or removing the whole net. Same 5mm x 5mm woven UV-treated PE as the Viper Fruit Tree Net range. The fitted 1.25m x 2.5m format with drawstring at the base pulls the net closed around the trunk, eliminating the edge gaps that allow birds and bats under a standard draped net. No pegs to lose. No ties to retighten. Consistent use through the season is what delivers consistent crop protection. The closure system is what keeps the net on the tree through the full harvest period. For larger trees, use the standard Viper Fruit Tree Nets. For individual fruit protection, use Viper Fruit Tree Net Bags.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viper","offers":[{"title":"1.25m x 2.5m","offer_id":46286697038023,"sku":"15-VFTNV-1.2x2.5","price":16.94,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0720\/2819\/2967\/files\/viper-fruit-tree-premium-net-with-velcro-component-net.png?v=1773958811"},{"product_id":"viper-fruit-tree-net-bags","title":"Viper Fruit Tree Net Bags","description":"\u003cp\u003eMesh bags for protecting individual fruit, bunches, or clusters on the tree. 20cm x 30cm.
