What Makes a Polyester Trellis Netting Different
The string, and the way it is made. Hydrofarm titles this one woven and titles its 4 ft rolls non-woven. The difference is real. A woven string net gives under load and settles around a stem, where an extruded grid holds its shape and makes you fight it. This roll is 5 ft by 15 ft, in white.
Why the 6 in Mesh Is the Square to Start With
You can get a hand through it. A 6 in opening takes a hand and a tomato back out at harvest. The net stays on the row instead of being cut off it. The strings are soft and non-burning, which is the point of polyester here. Tender vines and fruit are not scored where they cross. Fifteen feet is the short roll, though. It covers one bed or a single layer in a tent, and a room runs through it quickly. Hydrofarm publishes no load rating, so sag comes down to tie points rather than the net itself. Put one every 12 to 18 in. Hang the first layer 8 to 16 in above the medium in late veg.
Key Features
- 5 ft by 15 ft: The short roll in the 5 ft wide range, for one bed or one tent layer.
- Woven, not extruded: Hydrofarm marks the construction in its own product title.
- 6 in reach-through square: A hand and fruit pass back out, so the net survives harvest.
- Soft, non-burning polyester: Tender vines and fruit are not scored where they cross a string.
- 5 ft wide over a 4 ft bench: About 6 in a side to tie off outside the growing area.
- No published load rating: Tie points every 12 to 18 in are what actually control sag.
- Longer rolls in the family: 5 ft x 30 ft and 5 ft x 350 ft on the same woven 6 in mesh.
