There are two schools of thought when it comes to installation. Some people simply drape it over their crops and then proceed to secure it into place with the use of sod anchors. This process is fast and simple and doesn’t require you to dust off your carpenter skills. The downside to this method, however, is that the mesh can get tangled easily, and often hooks on to every leaf and branch that it can to make your life miserable. To avoid this frustration, others build frames to secure the mesh onto. These frames often run along the sides. Some users also use bendable rods to create the skeleton of a dome and then drape the mesh over the dome frame. Once you decide how you are going to install your mesh, measure to see how much you will need to buy to cover your plants completely before making a purchase. Those who estimate how much they will need often buy too much or too little.
