Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the right twine strength for the crops I'm growing?
Look at the load each plant will place on the twine – heavy vines or fruit‑bearing crops benefit from the 50 kgf strength of the TYMATE® blue twine, while lighter seedlings can be tied safely with the same strength but a shorter length. Matching the twine's tensile strength to the expected weight helps prevent breakage during the season.
What's the practical difference between the blue 6000 m roll and the red tomato twine?
The blue roll offers 6000 m of UV‑treated polypropylene at 50 kgf strength, ideal for large‑scale vine training or greenhouse work, whereas the red tomato twine is an 80 m, 50‑ply UV‑stabilised strand designed for precise tomato tying. Both are made from the same durable PP material, but the length and colour suit different handling preferences.
Are these twines suitable for year‑round outdoor use?
Yes – all twines in the Horticultural Twine collection are UV‑treated or UV‑stabilised, which protects them from sun degradation during seasonal crop support. They perform well in open fields, polytunnels and greenhouse environments throughout the growing season.
What material are the twines made from and how should I store them?
The twines are made from polypropylene (PP), a lightweight, water‑resistant polymer. Store the rolls in a dry, shaded area away from direct sunlight to maintain their UV protection and prevent moisture absorption.
Which growers benefit most from this twine collection?
The range is aimed at growers, nurseries, market gardens and agricultural businesses that need reliable plant‑support solutions, whether for vine training, tomato tying or general greenhouse work.
Can I purchase both the blue and red twine in a single order?
Absolutely – each twine is listed as a separate product, but you can add both to your cart and checkout together. The system will calculate the combined shipping weight automatically.
How is shipping handled for the large 6000 m spools?
Large spools are shipped using standard parcel services for most regions, but very heavy orders may be routed through freight to ensure safe delivery. Shipping costs and options are shown at checkout based on your address.

Horticultural Twine for Crop Support, Vine Training and Greenhouse Use

Horticultural Twine brings together TYMATE® polypropylene twines for crop support, tomato tying, vine training, greenhouse use, polytunnel applications and general horticultural work. The range includes UV treated twine options suited to outdoor growing environments and seasonal crop support.

This collection is suited to growers, nurseries, market gardens and agricultural businesses that need practical twine for tying, training and supporting plants through the growing season.

Choose Horticultural Twine by Crop, Strength and Roll Length

The right horticultural twine depends on crop type, support method, outdoor exposure, required strength, roll length and whether the job involves tomato tying, vine training, trellis work or general plant support. Matching twine specification to the crop and growing system helps maintain organised support through the season.
