  • Scaffolding netting holes?

    The scaffolding net I bought for my new brassica tunnel has lines of fixing holes.... do I need to close them up, and if so, how?

    Thanks!

        I left the holes in mine. The butterflies didn't find them the last 2 years.

                Fishing line will last years & can be picked up from the £shops.

                  I set up a gazebo frame with scaffold netting .... needs 3 lengths of netting to cover it .... i cable tied them together .... will have to find a better solution, and it might have to be fishing line or something to sew the lengths together ....

                        I'm a bloke and did mine by hand with a ball of wool and a big, manly needle. Very easy to do.

                          Mrs Growser sowed up several largish holes in ours, and anyway, it takes quite a determined insect to try and get through those little black holes anyway!
