I was running out of space in a commercial size greenhouse. We had some extra bench sections with wooden frame and metal mesh top, so I erected a couple of those as vertical walls (abt 6' wide and 5' tall).

I hang both pots, net pots and of course mounted plants on these walls, and place shade lovers on the north side of the walls.

To mount pots/net pots:
Take a 6" length of galvanized wire.
Bend one end into a tight hook with needle nose pliers.
Thread straight end through the bottom and up along one side wall.
Bend the top end over the edge, and hang on wire mesh.
