Trellis Net 50ft x 3ft – Plant Support Netting for Climbing Crops | Nairobi, Kenya
Trellis Net 50ft x 3ft – Plant Support Netting for Climbing Crops in Kenya
Strong, lightweight and UV-stabilised trellis netting that keeps cucumbers, tomatoes, peas, beans and passion fruit growing upward – off the soil, healthier and easier to harvest. Available at Shabbiri Hardware, Magadi Road, Ongata Rongai and Tuala.
Product Overview
The Trellis Net 50ft x 3ft is a square-mesh plastic netting made for vertical growing. Stretched between poles, stakes or a greenhouse frame, it gives vines and tendrils hundreds of grip points so plants climb naturally instead of sprawling on the ground.
Vertical growing improves air flow around leaves, reduces fungal disease and fruit rot, keeps produce clean and makes picking faster. It also lets you plant more rows in the same space – ideal for kitchen gardens, small farms and greenhouse growers across Nairobi, Kajiado and the rest of Kenya.

Key Features & Benefits

Growing upward uses space efficiently so you fit more plants per bed.
Healthier Plants
Better air circulation and sunlight reduce blight, mildew and fruit rot.
Cleaner Produce
Fruit hangs off the soil – fewer pests, less mud, fewer blemishes.
Easy Harvesting
Produce hangs at eye level, so picking is quicker and gentler on your back.
Long-Lasting
UV-stabilised plastic will not rust or rot like wire or sisal string.
Low Cost Setup
Hangs on simple timber posts, bamboo or steel pipes – no welding needed.
Best Crops & Uses
Cucumbers
Straighter, cleaner fruit and faster picking.
Tomatoes

How to Use the Trellis Net
- Plan the rowMark a straight row along your planting bed. Run rows north to south where possible so both sides get sunlight.
- Install support postsDrive timber posts, bamboo or steel pipes about 2–3 m apart along the row. Sink them at least 40 cm into the ground and brace the end posts firmly.
- Fit a top and bottom lineTie a strong wire or nylon rope tightly along the top of the posts and another near ground level. These carry the weight of the crop.
- Unroll and hang the netUnroll the trellis net along the row and fasten its top edge to the top line with cable ties or twine every 30 cm. Attach the bottom edge the same way.
- Pull it tightStretch the net evenly so the mesh stays square and does not sag. A taut net holds more weight and looks neater.
- Plant or transplantSow seeds or transplant seedlings close to the base of the net, about 10–15 cm away.
- Train young plantsGently weave the first shoots through the mesh. After a week or two most climbers grip on their own.
- Maintain and reuseCheck ties during the season. After harvest, remove old vines, wash the net, dry it and roll it up for the next planting.
Pro Tips
- For heavier crops such as melons, add extra posts and support fruit with small net slings.
- Hang two rolls one above the other for a taller trellis on tall tomato or cucumber varieties.
- To join rolls, overlap one mesh row and tie every 30 cm.
- In greenhouses, hang the net straight from the roof purlins for quick setup.
Care & Safety
- Store rolls in a dry, shaded place when not in use to extend their life.
- Avoid dragging the net over sharp stones or wire that can tear the mesh.
- Keep away from open flames – the net is plastic.
- Do not use as a climbing or safety net for people or animals.
