Botanicare Horti-Trellis 100 ft for Full Rows of Benches
Short trellis panels work for a single table, but a room full of benches needs netting by the roll. This roll runs 100 ft long at a width of 48 in, the standard 4 ft bench width. The mesh is pliable plastic laid out in 6 in squares. That opening is large enough to reach a hand through for pruning, yet small enough to hold branches in place. Unlike string netting, the plastic grid does not knot or tangle as it comes off the plants. That makes it reusable across several crops instead of going in the bin at harvest. Laid flat over a table, it becomes a canopy screen that spreads tops into an even layer. Stood upright against stakes or a frame, it gives vining crops something to climb. The roll can be cut to any length, so one roll covers benches of different sizes. Botanicare also makes the same mesh in shorter 4 ft pieces and in a wider 6.5 ft roll.
Planning Coverage With a Trellis Netting Roll
A 4 x 8 ft table takes 8 ft of netting per layer. At that rate, one roll covers about twelve tables with a single layer, or six tables with two. Many growers run two layers, the first set low to spread the canopy and the second higher to hold heavy tops upright. Cut each piece a little longer than the bench so the ends can wrap around the frame or tie off to posts. Pull the mesh taut before fixing it, because slack netting sags under weight and lets branches drop. Zip ties or clips at every corner and along the long edges keep it square. Feed new growth up through the squares as it stretches, rather than pulling branches back down. At the end of the run, cut the stems below the mesh and lift it away in one piece. Rinse or soak the netting in a disinfecting solution before it goes back on the next crop. Store it rolled and dry, away from direct sun.
