Hortomallas trellis netting is a commercial-scale thermoplastic mesh for professional growers, greenhouse operators, and large-scale vegetable and floriculture producers who need a long continuous run of rigid plant support across extended row lengths. At 79 inches wide and 1000 feet long, it is sized for serious production rather than home garden rows.
The plastic construction does not absorb moisture, which eliminates mold risk associated with nylon and woven fiber alternatives in humid greenhouse environments. Note that thermoplastic mesh dimensions may vary slightly due to the hot water-stretching manufacturing process.

Whether This Netting Fits Greenhouse Operations, Commercial Row Crops, or Large-Scale Floriculture
At nearly 1000 feet per roll and 79 inches wide, this netting is designed for operations where running out mid-row or mid-season is not acceptable. If you are managing a commercial greenhouse, a large outdoor vegetable operation, or a cut flower production bed that requires consistent, organized vertical growth across long spans, this roll provides enough material to cover extended runs without joining multiple shorter panels.
The rigid thermoplastic construction holds its grid shape without sagging under vine and fruit weight, which is a meaningful difference from soft fiber netting that stretches and deforms as crops fill in. Because it does not absorb moisture, it will not develop mold or harbor pathogens in high-humidity greenhouse environments, making it a practical choice for year-round indoor growing.
You can install it vertically for vine training or horizontally as a canopy support layer, and the plastic construction allows branch and stem contact without fiber adhesion or residue.
What to Expect from the Hortomallas Trellis Netting in Real Use
Verified buyers have used this netting in greenhouses and outdoor growing operations for tomatoes, climbing vegetables, and floral support. For greenhouse flower production, buyers report it outperforms nylon netting specifically because the plastic does not absorb moisture and avoids the mold risk that fabric-based netting can introduce in humid environments.
For heavy-fruiting crops like tomatoes, at least one buyer confirms the netting held individual fruits weighing approximately one pound without tearing or failing, while lighter competing products failed under similar load. Unrolling in 100-foot lengths is the field method noted by experienced buyers, as the roll can be stiff and the cut edges at the factory trim point have been noted as sharp on handling.
Branch entanglement in the mesh is expected behavior rather than a product defect, and buyers describe it as a feature of how the netting grips and organizes plant growth. UV stability is confirmed by buyers who have reused the netting across multiple seasons without visible degradation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this netting suitable for use inside a greenhouse where moisture and humidity are ongoing concerns?
Yes. The thermoplastic construction does not absorb moisture, which means it will not develop mold or retain water in humid greenhouse conditions the way nylon or woven fiber netting can.
This makes it a more sanitary long-term choice for enclosed growing environments where pathogen management is a priority. The plastic material also does not degrade from condensation or repeated wet-dry cycles the way organic or fiber-based materials can.
How do you manage unrolling and cutting a 1000-foot roll of rigid plastic mesh?
Working in sections of approximately 100 feet at a time is a practical approach for managing a roll of this size and rigidity. The mesh unrolls without tangling due to its semi-rigid construction, but the factory cut edges can be sharp, so gloves are advisable during handling.
For length cuts in the field, standard utility scissors or wire cutters work on the plastic strands. Measuring and cutting to the needed row length before installation is easier than trying to cut the netting once it is tensioned on a frame.
Can this netting be reused after a full season with heavy vine crops?
Yes. The UV-stabilized thermoplastic construction is designed for multi-season use. Buyers confirm the netting does not degrade under UV exposure and reuse it across consecutive seasons.
Removing it from crops at end of season is easier before plants fully dry and harden. Because the material does not absorb soil or moisture, cleaning between seasons is straightforward compared to fiber netting that retains debris in the weave.
