Hydrofarm 15 ft Trellis Netting | 5 ft Wide, 3.5 in Woven Mesh

What a 15 ft Trellis Netting Roll Actually Covers

One bed, or one layer in a tent. Fifteen feet is the short roll in the 5 ft wide woven range. It suits a grower netting one run rather than a whole room. The 5 ft width is the useful part. A standard bench or raised bed is 4 ft. That leaves about 6 in of overhang each side, so you tie off outside the growing area rather than at the plants.

Why a 3.5 in Mesh Holds a Canopy Differently

Roughly three times the contact points per square foot, against a 6 in grid. Stems get caught closer to where they bend, which is what you want on a dense planting or a heavy fruit load. The strings are soft and non-burning, so tender vines are not scored where they cross. There is a real cost though. A 3.5 in square is too small to get a hand and a tomato back out through. Picking happens from below, or the net gets cut. Tie point spacing is what controls sag. Put one every 12 to 18 in. Hang the net 8 to 16 in above the medium in late veg, before the plants reach it.

Key Features

• 5 ft wide over a 4 ft bench: About 6 in a side to tie off outside the growing area.
• 3.5 in square: Roughly three times the contact points per square foot of a 6 in grid.
• Woven, not extruded: A woven construction rather than a non-woven one.
• Soft and non-burning: Tender vines and foliage are not scored where they cross a string.
• Hard to pick through: A hand and fruit will not come back out. Harvest from below.
• Sag control: Tie points every 12 to 18 in are what actually control sag.
