Grower's Edge Soft Mesh Trellis Bulk Roll 5 x 350 ft | 6 in Squares

What a 6 Inch Trellis Netting Roll Gives You Over a Tighter Mesh

The difference between the two mesh sizes Grower's Edge make is the width of your own hand. A 6 in square takes a whole hand through it. The tighter one takes two fingers. On one plant that is a detail. Across a room tucked twice a week it is the difference between an afternoon of work and a whole day. The wider square also makes trimming through the net practical rather than fiddly. A branch can be pulled back and re-set without unthreading it. What you give up is holding power. A wider square supports a plant at longer intervals, so short heavy laterals can sag through where a tighter mesh would have caught them. The usual answer is two layers rather than one tighter layer, and that is also why a bulk roll empties faster than the arithmetic suggests. The mesh itself is knitted nylon. It stretches a little as a branch loads it and recovers when the load comes off. That is why a stem comes out of it unmarked at the end of a run.

When a Nylon Netting Bulk Roll Is the Right Format

Grower's Edge make this mesh in five lengths, all 5 ft wide. There are 15 ft, 30 ft and 60 ft for a single room, then this roll and a 750 ft roll above it. The jump up to a bulk length is the point where cost per foot drops properly. The bulk roll is the right call from about two rooms upward. Weight is 4.185 lb for the whole 350 ft. That figure is worth comparing against the tighter mesh, where 60 ft alone weighs over a pound each. Per foot of net, this mesh runs roughly a third lighter than the tighter one, which is fewer strands of the same nylon. Lighter net is easier to pull across a long bench single-handed and it loads a frame less. The trade case is six rolls. Install it vertically for a vining crop or flat as a scrog layer. Cut from a spindle rather than off a pile, because loose nylon twists and loses its working width. Washed and dried at the end of a cycle, the same net goes back up.

Key Features

• 6 in squares: A whole hand passes through, which is why tucking is quick.
• 350 ft on one roll: The step where cost per foot drops against the 60 ft sizes.
• 4.185 lb for the full roll: Around a third lighter per foot than the 3.5 in mesh.
• Knitted nylon: Stretches under load and recovers, so stems come out unmarked.
• Washable and reusable: Comes down at the end of a cycle and goes back up clean.
• Part HGC740125: The part number for this roll.
• Vertical or horizontal: A vining support or a flat scrog layer, same roll.
• Five lengths in this mesh: 15, 30 and 60 ft, then this 350 ft roll and a 750 ft roll.
