Different Ways to Use Trellis Netting in the Garden

Installing a plastic trellis in the garden is relatively easy. However, the installation of this plastic net depends mainly on how one wants to apply it.

• Installation Against the wall

When installing against a wall, you can take measurement of the wall alongside the corners of the net. You may trim off the trellis net to fit a narrower or higher space. Bear unto the wall and put an eye screw. Thereafter, tie the trellis netting to the screws and direct the vining plant upwards and against the net. This kickstarts the clambering of the vining plants on the trellis netting.

• Installation of a Stand-Alone

There is need to build strong frames for the trellis netting to make your trellis net stand on its own. Gardeners use connectors and PVC pipes for this purpose. They place the pipes on the ground and fit them into connectors. They then take measurement of the distance between these pipes and mark the trellis and drive a rebar into the ground. Afterwards, gardeners glue areas of the pipe together using a PVC solvent cement.

Here is an outline on how this is done:

• Drive a rebar at the spot where you want your trellis.
• Take measurement of the height for the trellis on the pipe
• Bend the pipe into a 90-degree angle
• Fit the two PVC pipes in the rebar and set up the pipes for connection
• Trim the pipe to suit the size of the raised bed.
• Connect the pipe using a coupling. Be prepared to bend the pipe a little to fit into the structure.
• Take away the rebar from the framework and bring out your trellis net.
• Using the nylon strings at the edge of the trellis net, tie it to the sides of the frame. Start from the corners of the frame and make sure that it stretches across the frame.
