Extruded plastic mesh is made using a variety of unique extrusion and/or expansion processes to produce a wide range of apertures (hole sizes), weights, and thicknesses.Extrusion is a continuous process in which plastic resin pellets are melted and pushed through a die in "meat-grinder" fashion to create a continuous mesh. Extruded netting can be produced in a wide range of configurations ranging from fine filtration-grade netting (resembling woven fabric) to a more coarse extrusion typical of plastic construction fencing.Plastic netting can be used as a lightweight, environmentally-friendly, deterrent to protect shrubs, gardens and decorative plants from foraging wildlife like deer, rabbits, geese and other "critters".
