I made a half hoop with netting to guide the Virginia creeper, Kiwi and
sweet autumn clematis over the walkway. That is gray stuff like PVC, very
cheap. The netting is more subtantial than plain old bird netting so it can
take more of a load. I use those plastic slide ties to attach it to the
chain link. well the picture is not of the finished set up. yesterday we
pulled the netting taut and used those ties to secure it. hoops can be as
high as you want and you arent going to be putting any load on it. those
gray things, I dont think they need "connectors" since one end seems flared
out to take another. would be cheaper as well. Ingrid

I'd like to figure out how to put bird netting over my lily pond, so it is
high enough not to affect those walking in. There is a 4ft. chain link
around it, so I'm thinking attach to that then go high with perhaps pvc
painted black. This would hopefully keep out the anti-frog neighbor's

nasty
sycamore leaves. ~
