HORTOMALLAS Trellis Netting 5 ft x 4,920 ft (5.9 in x 6.7 in mesh)

What It Is

The HortoMallas 5 ft × 4,920 ft trellis netting is a single-roll, continuous-length plant support net manufactured from 100% virgin polypropylene using a bi-oriented stretching and extrusion process. That manufacturing method — rather than knotting or weaving separate strands — produces a one-piece lattice with consistent geometry at every intersection, which translates directly into predictable load distribution across the canopy.

The 5.9 in × 6.7 in (15 cm × 17 cm) mesh opening is the standard HortoMallas commercial spacing: wide enough to reach through for canopy management, pruning, and harvest, but tight enough to catch and support lateral branching at the internodes without damaging stems. The white colorway is intentional — it improves node and stem visibility during low-light early-morning work and during the dark phase in light-deprivation houses.

Who It's For

This SKU is built for scale. At 4,920 linear feet per roll, it is sized for commercial cannabis cultivation operations, large-format hemp greenhouses, and multi-room indoor facilities where running out of netting mid-bay — and introducing a splice point — is an operational problem, not just an inconvenience. A single roll typically covers an entire greenhouse bay or multiple individual cultivation rooms in a single continuous run.

Licensed operators running horizontal SCROG (screen of green) setups install the net in single or stacked layers over beds to guide lateral branching and distribute canopy evenly under the light footprint. Vertical configurations — strung between posts or hung from overhead infrastructure — work equally well for training tall-canopy varieties. The 5 ft height suits standard commercial bench-to-overhead clearances for both indoor and greenhouse builds.

Facilities with rolling benches, raised beds, or fixed floor beds all use the same net. Because the roll is continuous, cut lengths can be dialed to exactly the dimensions of each bay, run, or room — no waste from pre-cut panels, no splicing short lengths together.

Key Features & Material Specs

The extruded polypropylene construction gives the net its structural profile. Unlike knotted or woven nets, the junctions in an extruded net are part of the original material — they do not slip, unravel, or weaken at the node under load. HortoMallas rates tensile strength at 78 lb/ft, sufficient for dense canopy loads typical in high-yielding cannabis cultivars at peak flower weight.

UV stabilizers are compounded into the polypropylene at manufacture, not applied as a surface coating that can abrade off. The rated outdoor service life is 5–7 years, which for a controlled indoor or greenhouse environment is a conservative floor — many operators run multiple seasons from a single roll with no measurable degradation. The net is also rated resistant to bacteria, mold, and common agricultural chemicals, which matters in facilities running regular sanitation protocols between crop cycles.

The net is tangle-free in roll form and lightweight, which reduces installation labor significantly compared to wire or rope alternatives. It can be cut cleanly to any length with standard scissors or a utility knife. At end of service life, the polypropylene is recyclable.

How It Fits a Commercial Build

For indoor cannabis rooms, the most common install is a horizontal layer — or two stacked layers at different heights — suspended from overhead hangers or attached to vertical posts at bed perimeters. The 5 ft width works with standard 4 ft and 5 ft rolling bench configurations when run lengthwise, or can be cut to width for narrower bed formats.

In light-deprivation or glass greenhouses, the same net serves both canopy management and as a structural guide for vertical training. HortoMallas's 15 cm × 17 cm mesh geometry allows most cannabis and hemp cultivars to self-guide into the openings with minimal hand-tying labor, reducing canopy-management touch events per plant — which also reduces the risk of mechanical stress and pathogen transfer at the manipulation site.

The 4,920 ft roll length means this SKU is a bulk-supply item, not a per-room purchase. Facilities typically buy by the roll to cover a full facility build-out or a season's worth of new room commissions. HSC supplies this netting nationally to licensed operators across the United States — quote requests are handled directly, with lead times confirmed at order.
