Have you considered using Reemay fabric, versus netting? It lets light and water in, but keeps the birds out.
We used it for lots of stuff at the Garden Center - it was a great row cover when we had annual plants out in the open, but they were predicting cold/freezing weather overnight. The Nursery Manager would cover up small fruits (Raspberries, Grapes, Currants, etc.) with it to keep the birds off - an easier sale when you can actually show fruit on something, later in the growing season...PLUS, you could sell them some Reemay for home use. ;) (A.B.C. Always Be Closing...the SALE, LOL!)
You should be able to sew with it any way you want to.

I also found this mesh/netting, but it ain’t cheap!
These are NOT the only sources, of course! Just giving you an alternative.
Hi and thanks. On the first one , 75% of light not good, they are in a challenged area already. The second ouch on the price. I’ve been looking and came up with this at JoAnn’s. think I would need 20 yards at least and they have green. Still looking. The flower buds are just as big as capers so I have some time.https://www.joann.com/nylon-net-72in/prd7200.html#q=mesh%2Bnetting&start=1
