Grower's Edge Soft Mesh Trellis Netting 5 ft x 15 ft, 3.5 in Squares

Soft Mesh Trellis Netting 5 ft x 15 ft for a Tight, Even Canopy

Grower's Edge weaves this net from soft white nylon with small squares of 3.5 in on a side. The sheet measures 5 ft x 15 ft, or 75 square feet of coverage. That close spacing puts about seventeen squares across the width and roughly fifty down the length. More strands per foot means more points where a stem can rest and stay put. Thin branches that would flop through a wide opening get caught and held by the smaller grid. That makes it a good match for plants trained to many small tops rather than a few heavy colas. The strands are soft and non-abrasive, so leaves and green stems are not scuffed where they touch. Nylon keeps its strength under load and stands up to handling through a full run. Laid flat above the pots, the net turns into a fine screen that holds the canopy at one height. Stood upright, it gives peas, beans and other light climbers plenty of rungs to grab. The 5 ft width covers a 4 x 4 tent with slack to tie off at each pole. Cut the length into sections to make stacked layers or panels for several spaces.

Working With 3.5 Inch Trellis Netting in a Tent

Hang the first layer low, close to the tops, while plants are still in veg. The small squares catch new growth early. That lets training start before stems harden. Pull the net tight at every corner and add ties along the edges to stop sagging. Tuck each shoot under a strand and steer it outward toward an empty square. Work through the canopy every day or two during the stretch to keep tops at one level. Because the openings are narrow, prune lower growth before the net goes on rather than after. Reaching through a tight grid is slower, so plan defoliation and lollipopping ahead of time. A second layer set higher up helps carry weight once flowers start to swell. On a vertical frame, fasten the top edge first and let the net hang before tying the bottom. At harvest, cut stems free one by one and trim the net away in strips where growth is woven in.
