““Attaching Vertical Frame Netting To attach the trellis netting to your frame, first hook the netting on the two corners. Next, cut the netting at each connection. This will give you one long strand. (Be careful to cut on the same side of the connecting strand each time.) Loop the long strand over the top of the frame and firmly tie a simple knot.

Tie the netting tight and your vertical frame will look neat and trim for many years.””
