Our insect net is a standard weave with the weft monofilaments crossing the warp monofilaments at right angles. It is commonly used in gardening and landscaping to dig holes for planting, moving soil, and removing weeds. The polymer is melted and forced through nozzles and cross strands then set at the joints as the material cools. Most of our netting is made from high density polyethylene monofilament which is black and contains ultra-violet stabilisation additives to a level of 2% which gives a protection of 400kLy. The net is complete when the spools run out or for longer nets new spools are added and the twine joined.This spade is a joy to use and takes all the strain out of digging for someone like me with and old and wonky back.

Spades come in various sizes and shapes, including square, round, and pointed, depending on the intended use. Garden spades come in a variety of sizes and styles, depending on the specific needs of the gardener.
