You bet Pete! Netting isn't the place to go cheapo. I have one large one
with 1/4 inch rather than 1/2 mesh. There is a world of difference in the two
when pulling over a tree or bush. Branch ends and fruit such as cherries
don't get caught and tear the netting nearly as quickly as with 1/2 mesh. Don't
remember where I got mine but will never again buy 1/2 inch mesh netting.
My advise is spend the extra money. Makes covering much easier and will
last longer.
