Using clear plastic netting as trellis

| Has anyone ever used plastic netting as a trellis? Does it last a long time? Where do you get it? And how would I attach it to a brick wall? Would love to hear some advice. |

| Try seed catalogs, the nicer ones that cover the whole gambit of gardening, seeds, plants, tools, supplies of all kinds.. I ahve seen something similar in some, but do not remember which ones. VangY |

| We used the light green netting on our privacy fence (around our pool deck) I think this was meant for green beans and such, but it's great and has been for the last couple of years! We have it looped over the top of the fence stretched across as far as we can. Worked great even when we needed to redo (clean and waterproof) the deck and privacy fencing this spring, just undid the loops and let it fall, covered it in plastic and watered. After we were finished, we pulled it up and reattached it! Very pleased! We have loniceria juponica honeysuckle....I think! It's the red and or pink and yellow one. We got lucky and had both of the pretty ones in one pot! I am going to try and find this again for my clematis that has to be trained and tied to my lattice board! Color doesn't matter, it gets covered fast enough! Good luck! |

| Thanks Vangy and daisyjune for your responses. I would have never thought of looking in seed catalogs for the netting. The light green netting is also a good idea. |

| Parks Seeds has a nylon netting (white) that says it has a lifetime guarantee - a friend of mine has had hers up (supporting mandevilla vines) for about 4 years. Might try there. |
