Nature's solution is to lean on something. Ours costs about the same as a bag of compost and lasts for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLightHouse Trellis Netting\u003c\/strong\u003e is a soft, flexible, heavy-duty polyester net with a generous \u003cstrong\u003e15cm (6\") square mesh\u003c\/strong\u003e, made for climbing crops, top-heavy flowers and indoor growing alike.

The 15cm reach-through mesh means your hand goes through the net instead of around it, so pruning, tying in and picking take seconds rather than a wrestling match. That open square also lets the net carry more weight and stay taut, which means stronger support and less crop damage. You're not fighting the net to get to the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e15cm (6\") square reach-through mesh\u003c\/strong\u003e for easy training, pruning and harvesting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-duty, durable polyester\u003c\/strong\u003e that is soft on stems yet strong enough for heavy, fruit-laden crops.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-tangle\u003c\/strong\u003e, so it unpacks and spreads out without turning into a bird's nest.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse vertically or horizontally\u003c\/strong\u003e as a climbing wall or horizontal crop support layer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo sizes, both 1.5m (5ft) wide\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5m or 9m long.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut to size\u003c\/strong\u003e with ordinary scissors, and \u003cstrong\u003ereusable\u003c\/strong\u003e season after season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich Size Do I Need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCoverage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest for\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.5m x 4.5m (5ft x 15ft)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e≈ 6.75m²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA single raised bed, a short row, or a greenhouse border\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.5m x 9m (5ft x 30ft)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e≈ 13.5m²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLong rows, polytunnels, allotment runs, fences, or several layers from one pack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure?

A net supports the whole row at once, holds every branch exactly where you put it, spreads plants out for better light and airflow, and goes up in minutes. At the end of the season it folds into a pocket-sized bundle instead of a bundle of bamboo you trip over all winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRose's Pro-Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePut the net up \u003cem\u003ebefore\u003c\/em\u003e your plants need it. Threading young, bendy stems through the mesh is easy; wrestling a mature, heavy plant into a net is how branches get snapped.
