I haven't used real insect netting purchased specifically for that use. I've used lightweight summer row cover, which works just fine, but you do have to remove it at pollination time to let the bees and other pollinators achieve pollination, or you have to remove it at least long enough to hand-pollinate the flowers yourself. I've also used a lightweight netting sold at fabric stores that is called tulle. It does not necessarily hold up in very strong winds, or if your cats see the netting over the hoops and think it is a cat hammock. If you can keep the tulle or the lightweight row cover over the plants, weighted down around the edges so SVBs cannot get under it, etc., it does work but it is a lot of trouble and you still have to hand-pollinate or just uncover them at that point and then the SVBs will get them.

Protknet Biothrips is a netting sold for this purpose, but is very expensive. Plenty of garden supply companies sell other brands of netting, but I haven't tried any of them. One of these days I will, and it might happen this summer.

Last year I grew a hybrid zuchinni that didn't have to be pollinated (parthenocarpic). Variety was Partenon from Johnny's. I grew it under tulle. One bush plant eventually took over half a 4 x 8 bed. I was happy with the production. This year I am adding a bush acorn. It will have to be pollinated. We will see if this is a worthwhile use of garden space. I like winter squash and if I have room I may plant a Seminole pumpkin again. Since the bugs couldn't get to the squash last year maybe I can get away with an uncovered Seminole this season.

I had peppers and sweet potatoes growing under the tulle with the squash last year. Peppers don't need to be insect pollinated either.
