Camouflage Net

Camouflage netting is a mesh backing with fabric leaves or cut strips fixed to it, sold as a sheet. Nothing in this range is stores stock; it is new production bought for hides, shade, screening and decoration. Shop it by size, then by density, then by pattern.

Size first

Sheets here run from 0.5 x 0.5 m offcuts of scrim up to 8 x 9 m. Rough guide by job:

• One-person hide or a screen for wildlife photography: 1.5 x 3 m to 2 x 3 m.
• Shade over a patio, pergola or allotment seat: 3 x 4 m up to 4 x 6 m.
• Fence run, carport or a long boundary: buy long and narrow, such as 2 x 8 m or 3 x 10 m, rather than one square sheet you then have to fold.
• Ceiling and wall decoration for a paintball site, an event or a themed room: any size, since appearance carries the job.

Sheets can be cut down. Cut between the knots rather than through them, then bind the new edge with a cable tie so the leaves do not slide off the loose strand.

Density and pattern

Density decides how much light gets through. Open scrim breaks up an outline and passes daylight, which is what you want over a hide frame where you still need to see out. Layered three-dimensional netting blocks far more light and gives usable shade, at the cost of weight and wind load.

Pattern is the part people overthink. Green and woodland tones sit well against summer hedgerow and conifer. Brown and autumn tones suit bracken and stubble from September on. Desert and sand read as bright in a British field. White and winter patterns are for snow and shop windows, and blue or marine patterns are decorative, hiding nothing outdoors.

Be clear on the limits

• Not fire retardant unless that specific product page says so. If a venue, a film set or an indoor event asks for certified material, ask before you buy rather than assuming.
• Not a roof. Netting is not waterproof and is not structural. For rain cover use a camping tarp or a waterproof tarpaulin and hang the net beneath it for looks or concealment.
• Not a windbreak. Dense netting catches wind like a sail. Tie every corner and add mid-edge ties on anything over 3 m.
• Colours soften outdoors. Months of UV lighten the darker tones, which matters more for decoration than for a hide.

Hanging it properly

Thread paracord through the mesh every 50 cm along the edge you mean to tension, and pull against that cord rather than the net itself, which will otherwise stretch into diamonds and stay that way. Leave the surface slightly slack: a taut flat sheet reads as a man-made rectangle from a distance, while a bit of sag looks like nothing in particular, which is the entire point. For a fixed sunshade rather than a screen, a shade sail holds its shape better.
