Grower's Edge Trellis Netting 5 x 225 ft | 3.5 in Mesh, 1,125 sq ft

What Soft Mesh Trellis Netting Does That Plastic Does Not Trellis netting comes in two families and they behave nothing alike. One is extruded plastic, where the squares are moulded and the sheet holds its own shape. This is the other kind: woven, flexible, with no rigid edge anywhere on it. It is non-abrasive against stems, vines and foliage, and the reason for that is structural. A moulded square has corners, and a stem that swells against a corner for six weeks will mark. A woven strand gives instead. The trade-off is real and worth knowing before the roll arrives. Woven mesh will not hold a shape on its own, so it has to be pulled taut between supports rather than leaned against a frame. It also tangles, which makes it harder to take down and reuse than a moulded sheet. The hole size here is 3.5 in square and described as reach-through, which is the design intent exactly. A hand goes through an opening to work a plant rather than reaching around it. Against a 6 in mesh you get more support points and smaller gaps. The colour is white throughout the roll. The roll weighs 4.3 lbs, light enough to carry a run up a ladder alone. Hanging a Nylon Trellis Netting Roll, and What 225 Feet Covers Five feet by two hundred and twenty five feet works out at 1,125 square feet of netting. Think of that in benches rather than in feet. A four by eight bench takes thirty two square feet per layer, so one roll covers roughly thirty five of those layers. Run two layers per bench, which is the usual practice, and it halves to about seventeen. Installed vertically the netting becomes a wall, and plants are woven into it as they stretch. Installed horizontally it becomes a canopy net, held above the pots and added to as the crop fills in. Either orientation works, and the material does not care which you choose. Grower's Edge clamp clips are the matching hardware, in a one inch and a one and three quarter inch size. They hold an edge to a frame without anyone tying knots in nylon. Cut what a room needs and the rest stays on the core. One honest caution on a roll this size. Nylon under tension keeps stretching slowly, so a run that was tight in week one will want retensioning by week four.
