Is it possible to get 2.5M wide debris netting? Been looking all over but seems to go up in 1M stages.

Can't say I've ever seen it. I think you'll have to get 3m and cut it down or sew a 2m and 1m piece together.Location ... Nottingham -
It stretches so you may be able to stretch a 2m to 2.5m - no promises. I stretched the 3m width but would have to check by how much.............
CHECKED - 2 x3m widths stretched to cover a 24' long GH frame.Last edited by veggiechicken; 11-04-2015, 07:18 PM.Comment

Aaaaaarrrrggghhhhh mixed units of measurement. �� It's making me physically tense. 24' = 7.3m for anyone else with my affliction.Originally posted by veggiechicken View Post
Sorry VC!Comment

Let us know how you get on please. I'm thinking of doing the same.Originally posted by JMCKG View PostComment

Sorry Stan but I wouldn't dream of trying to convert the length of 3 x 8' GHs into metric. It would mean nothing to me - I'm still old schoolOriginally posted by Stan79 View Post

Will do, let you know the dimensions after stretching.Originally posted by Stan79 View PostComment

Remember to buy enough length of netting to cover the ends of your tunnel. Debris netting from our store shed is 3m wide (plenty wide enough to go over the hoops on a 4' wide bed), but I only bought 5m to cover 16'.
Obvs. it does not help that my beds are in imperial and the netting is sold in metric, but it means that I bought enough to make a - uh - wind tunnel, rather than enough to make an enclosed tunnel.

Anything from the simple:

24 Metres in Feet =
or even
speed of light in furlongs per fortnight =
or
100 x pi in bakers dozen =
All the usual mathematical operators, but it can help to put "=" on the endK's Garden blog the story of the creation of our gardenComment

According to VC's GH, 2 mts stretched gains you 43cms so it will be touch & go.......plus it will open the small holes more.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

I'm old-school and convert everything back to Imperial.
I know from playing golf that a metre is 10% bigger than a yard. So 3 metres = 10 feet.
Anyway, my own beds are 4 feet 6 inches wide and 4 yards long, so pieces 6 yards long cut from the 10 feet wide roll cover those plastic pipes nicely.
I haven't tried stretching the stuff but like BM I'm skeptical it would go far enough. If it were me I'd use the 10 foot wide stuff and tidy up the excess at the sides.Comment

Worked a treat. My hoops had a radius of 770mm approx. so that means my 2M wide netting stretched to 2.4M approx. Could have stretched it a wee bit further too.Originally posted by Stan79 View PostComment
