I am putting a Distictis (Rivers) vine against a stucco garage

buy at least three,

As an alternative, I checked "netting" -- to use a loose term -
and see much lower prices. Could I manage with a very strong
netting, which I have seen advertised on several sites, properly
secured from above on the garage roof. And secured on the sides --
how???


That's a strong woody vine and netting would never be able to hold its
weight for long. Not to mention the netting will rot after a few
years. This vine grows pads which will stick to stucco; were you
planning on training it on a trellis only temporarily, until it
adhered itself to the stucco wall? In that case, netting would do as a
temporary means of support. But if you want permanent trellising, far
better to go with a trellis constructed out of sturdy material.
