Trellis Netting + Plant Support

Complementing our netting, our advanced plant support systems secure stems and branches, reducing breakage and stress while promoting even canopy development. Ideal for greenhouses, indoor farms, and vertical growing systems, our solutions improve sunlight exposure and air circulation, leading to more robust growth and higher yields.

Trellis netting is great for training plants along a grid and retaining accessibility. We recommend using Common Culture netting, the best value for soft mesh and plastic trellis netting.

When choosing a product, consider the mesh size, tensile strength, and length you need for your environment. We also offer customizable options in bulk netting for commercial growers.

Why Use Trellis Netting?

Use trellis support netting for maximum yields, highest quality, and faster harvest. Train plants to their optimal position and size on a lightweight but strong trellis net. Whether growing vertically or horizontally, a well-designed netting system can support plants in their natural form.

Keep in mind the square mesh design that helps plants grow evenly and improves accessibility. It’s also great for protecting crops from birds while maximizing air and light penetration.

Trellis netting is available in a variety of materials, including soft mesh nylon netting and heavy-duty plastics.

How To Use Trellis Netting

Plastic and nylon trellis netting is made to control plant spread in ways that allow plants to thrive. This netting is engineered to last under the stresses of its job. Advantages include ease of handling, light weight, durability, and weather resistance.

Nylon trellis netting is soft and gentle but can hold up stems and vines, which attach to it as they grow. It’s strong enough to handle all the weight your plants can throw. Specs like tensile strength and mesh size are key to choosing the perfect support.

Garden netting can be suspended vertically, as from a roof edge. It can even be stretched between two upright stakes, forming a straight wall. For horizontal use, stretch it over an A-frame for two angled sides like a tent.

When you choose netting, the main things to consider are how heavy your plants will be and how big you will allow them to get. Bigger, heavier plants may dictate thicker netting. Our listings typically include specs for both installation ease and long-lasting durability.

Trellis net takes up very little storage space. After folding or winding the excess back onto the netting trellis roll, it just stows away.

How to Set Up and Install Trellis Netting

Trellis netting for grow rooms and greenhouses should be set up by connecting to vertical poles throughout your garden, often on the perimeter. If you're using a grow tent, you can secure your trellis using the structural poles of the tent.

This netting is often secured by zip ties connecting it to vertical poles or wrapping it around the pole. You want your trellis netting to be as tight as possible so that it trains your plants, not the other way around.

Trellis Netting for Low-Stress Training

LST, or low-stress training, and related methods can benefit from using trellis netting. The netting improves air circulation, light exposure, and easier harvesting access. LST boosts your yield and eases growing by getting as much of one plant or more under your grow lights as possible.

More advanced LST methods include:

• SOG—Sea of Green. The goal of SOG is to have as many plants per square foot as possible and then move them quickly to the flowering or bloom stage of growth. This creates many smaller plants with more straight-up growth and limited side branching.
• ScrOG—Screen of Green. In this method, you have fewer plants per square foot than SOG. Doing so optimizes the available space for one or more individual plants. The result is a few big or one larger plant with all the side branches trained to grow through the trellis grid. ScrOG allows as much light to reach as much of the plant as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I determine the right mesh size for my plants?

Mesh size depends on your plant type and growth stage. Smaller mesh (e.g., 3–6 inches) works well for delicate herbs or seedlings, while larger mesh (6+ inches) suits vining plants like tomatoes or cucumbers. Match mesh openings to the plant’s natural branching pattern for optimal support.

What’s the difference between vertical and horizontal trellis setups?

Vertical setups (e.g., stretched between poles or tent frames) maximize height and light exposure for climbing plants. Horizontal setups (e.g., A-frames) encourage lateral growth, which is ideal for sprawling crops like melons or peas.

How do I choose between nylon and plastic netting?

Nylon is softer and gentler on plants, ideal for delicate stems. Plastic netting offers superior weather resistance and rigidity, making it better for outdoor or heavy-fruiting crops.
