Hello Forum Members,
I want to put up wire netting on the fences of my garden so that climber plants can use them for support. The fences use concrete slotted posts, concrete gravel boards and featheredge fence panels.
I am confused whether to get wire netting with 50mm "hole" or with 25 mm "hole". The 2 options I am looking at right now are:
(a) Apollo Wire Netting galvanised - 25m x 600mm x 25mm - £33.05
(b) Apollo Wire Netting galvanised - 25m x 900mm x 50mm - £32.85
The advantage with the 25mm wire netting is that (I think) it will be stronger. Drawback is that it is available only in smaller widths.
The advantage with the 50mm wire netting is that it is available in a wider width (900mm). Drawback might be that it is not as strong as the 25mm option.
Cost is not a major criterion. Since I plan to do this only once for a long time I do not mind spending a bit more if it is better in the long term
I need your advice on the following fronts:
(1) Which hole size should I go for and why?
(2) How should I attach the netting to the fence?
Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you.
