I've used this source for trellis and recommend them. https://www.hummert.com/product-deta...etable-netting

I use the FG-10.

Thank you for this tip! Last year I threw the whole mess onto a brush burn pile because I just didn't have time to strip the trellis, and it really ate at me because of the waste. This year I have an alternative. Again, Thanks!
