Netting Techniques for Vineyards: I would suggest using 14′ over the top netting to protect your fruit from the birds. The 7′ side netting is only practical for lower pressure sites.
Use of “S” Hooks Or Zip Ties for Securing Net
We have used “S” hooks to secure the net off the ground both around the poles and around the trunks. See PDF on site named “Netting Process for Vineyards” for more detail on this process.
At the end of the season the net is pulled down to the ground on one side. A garbage can with a garbage bag is setup at the end of the row. You simply start cramming the netting into the bag until the netting is all gone. The garbage bag is sealed and labeled for next year
