What a 3.5 in Trellis Netting Grid Does for You
Support, and not much reach. The tighter square puts about three times the contact points per square foot under a canopy. Stems are held near the bend rather than left to lean. That is the right call on a dense planting, and on heavy fruit that would push a single stem through a wide opening. It is the wrong call if you plan to reach in and pick.
Sizing a 60 ft Roll Against a Bench Row
Sixty feet is the multi bed length: four 15 ft runs, or one long bay in a single piece with no joins. At 5 ft wide over a 4 ft bench you get about 6 in a side for tie off outside the growing area. The price gap is worth naming plainly. This roll carries roughly 1.6 times the list of the 6 in version at the same size. The reason is more string in the same area. Sag comes down to tie points every 12 to 18 in with nothing unsupported past that. Hang the first layer 8 to 16 in over the medium in late veg. Add a second 6 to 8 in above it if the crop needs one.
Key Features
- 60 ft in one piece: Four 15 ft runs, or a long bay with no joins along its length.
- 3.5 in square: About three times the contact points per square foot of a 6 in grid.
- Woven polyester: Gives under load and settles around a stem, rather than holding rigid.
- 5 ft wide over a 4 ft bench: About 6 in a side to tie off outside the growing area.
- Costs more, and here is why: Roughly 1.6 times the 6 in roll at list. More string per square foot.
- Not a harvest mesh: A hand and fruit will not come back through. Pick from below.
- Sag control: Tie points every 12 to 18 in are what control sag under a canopy.
