100 foot or 2000-foot roll of Hold Down Netting used in Frost Protection. Our netting is used to make Rock Bags, commonly for strawberries. The bags hold rock, which holds down your Frost Blankets, keeping them in place without the rips or tears that other methods cause in your blankets.
We also carry 2,000-foot rolls. Click Here or see ‘ Previous Product ‘ page.
