Abstract
A netting enclosure kit comprises a skeleton configured to operate in a plurality of configurations between a first, partially expanded configuration and a second, fully expanded configuration, a netting enclosure comprising a plurality of panels configured to be joined together to enclose or hang from the skeleton in each of the plurality of configurations, a first webbing configured to connect to a first portion of the netting enclosure, a second webbing configured to connect to a second portion of the netting enclosure, and a fastener configured to attached to the first webbing and to the second webbing to form an openable and closeable seam.
Claims16
A netting kit comprising:
- a skeleton configured to operate in a plurality of configurations between a first, partially expanded configuration and a second, fully expanded configuration;
- a netting enclosure comprising a plurality of panels configured to be joined together to enclose or hang from the skeleton in each of the plurality of configurations, wherein the plurality of panels comprise a first panel and a second panel, wherein the first panel comprises a first plurality of cells, and the second panel comprises a second plurality of cells;
- a first webbing connected to the first panel by weaving the first webbing in and out of the first plurality of cells;
- a second webbing connected to the second panel by weaving the second webbing in and out of the second plurality of cells;
- and
- a fastener configured to be attached to the first webbing and to the second webbing to form an openable and closeable seam.
A netting enclosure for preventing deer access, the netting enclosure comprising:
- a plurality of panels each having a first face, a second face opposite the first face, and a plurality of cells encompassing openings connecting the first face and the second face, the plurality of cells sized to enable pollinator access while prohibiting access to deer;
- and
- at least one webbing material configured to join at least two adjacent panels together by alternately interconnecting cells of the adjacent panels to form a seam that prevents deer access between the adjacent panels,
- wherein at least one of the plurality of panels includes a fastening mechanism configured to create a seam that is openable and closeable.
A method of making a netting enclosure to prevent animal access, the method comprising:
- shaping panels of netting material around or hanging from a skeleton, the panels including cells encompassing openings configured to allow pollinator access and prohibit animal access;
- aligning cells of adjacent panels;
- interconnecting adjacent panels with a webbing material to form a seam that prohibits the animal access;
- and
- installing a fastening mechanism to form a seam in at least one of the interconnecting adjacent panels, the seam configured to be openable and closeable.
