Hortonova Installation for Flowers:
  1. Erect strong wood or metal support posts with pre-drilled holes fr each layer of net required during growth cycle.
  2. Post should be set at maximum distance of 20 feet apart.
  3. Bolt wooden crossbar between each set of support posts at first level.
  4. Pull mesh taut and attach or weave netting to the wood crossbar.
  5. For added support, weave 16 gauge wire along the edge of netting and to vertical support posts.
  6. Add subsequent layers of netting as growth cycle progresses.

And here's an excellent demonstration about trellising your garden.

Try Hortonova. Give your plants every advantage and enjoy the satisfaction of a larger and better quality yield.
