fig1 and 6 show the present planter system invention 1 comprising a pot 2 , a saucer 3 , and net 10 . the pot 2 is generally round may be any shape such as square , rectangular , or oval . the pot 2 has drainage ports to allow excess water from the pot 2 to drain out . a saucer 3 is positioned underneath the pot 2 to catch the excess water flowing out of the drainage ports . as seen in fig5 and 6 , the saucer 3 is positioned directly under the pot 2 where the pot 2 sits on top of the saucer 3 . in some planters , wheels 4 are mounted under the saucer 3 to allow the planter system 1 to move . attached to the exterior surface 5 of the pot 2 are several securing loops 6 of hook and loop fasteners . as seen in fig2 , and 4 , the net 10 is generally rectangular in shape having a top portion 11 , bottom portion 12 , left portion 13 , right portion 14 , an inner face 15 , and an outer face 16 . the net 10 consists of a mesh pattern 17 having openings within the netting are of sufficient size to allow air to flow through but sufficiently small to prevent a mosquito or other targeted insect from passing through . the mesh pattern 17 is made through use of lockstitch which keeps the bottom portion 12 from fraying . in other embodiments the mesh pattern 17 may be smaller to block any desired insect such as flies , gnats , or fruit flies . the mesh pattern 17 may be square , diamond , or any other suitable shape . a strip of material 18 is positioned on the net adjacent and parallel to the top portion 11 . a decorative strip of material 19 is positioned on the net approximately equidistant between the top portion 11 and bottom portion 12 and parallel to both top and bottom portions 11 , 12 . the top portion 11 of the net 10 is affixed to a strip of material 18 . in one embodiment the strip of material 18 is elastic . the top portion 11 of the net 10 is folded into small wedges 19 that taper towards the bottom portion 12 . these wedges 20 are commonly referred to as darts in sewing . the top portion 11 , with the wedges 20 , are attached or sewn to the strip of material 18 while the strip of material 18 is taut . the strip of material 18 is positioned on the inner face 15 of the net 10 . after the top portion 11 is attached and the strip of material is not taut , the top portion 11 of the net pulls together causing the net to appear trapezoid in shape as the left and right sides become angled . the wedges 20 , when the strip of material 18 is not taut , help prevent folds in the material when placed around a round object . several securing hooks 21 , of hook and loop fastener , are affixed to the strip of material 18 along the top portion 11 . a connection hook 22 is affixed to the strip of material 18 along the top portion 11 proximal to the left portion 13 . a connection loop 23 is affixed to the top portion 11 of the outer face 16 proximal to the right portion 14 . the top portion 11 of the net 10 is wrapped around the exterior surface 5 of the pot 2 . the securing hooks 21 on the net 10 connect to the securing loop 6 on the exterior surface 5 of the pot 2 . the connection hook 22 connects with the connecting loop 23 . the hook and loop fasteners secure the net 10 around the pot 2 which adjoins the left portion 13 and right portion 14 . the elasticity of the strip of material 18 permit the top portion 11 of the net 10 to stretch around the pot 2 . the wedges 20 prevent the material from bunching up around the bottom of the pot 2 and saucer 3 . as seen in fig6 ( the mesh pattern 17 is removed for easier view ), the net 10 drapes down such that the bottom portion 12 rests below the lip 7 of the saucer 3 . the net 10 may be positioned such that the bottom portion 12 extends beyond the bottom of the saucer 8 to make the bottom portion 12 flush with the ground . the bottom portion 12 may be trimmed or cut depending on the height of the pot 2 and saucer 3 . the lockstitch of the mesh pattern 17 permits the net 10 to be trimmed without fraying . a cavity is formed between the saucer 3 , the external surface 5 of the pot 2 and the net 10 . the net 10 acts as a barrier between the cavity , and the interior 9 of the saucer 3 , and the surrounding environment . to the extent any standing water or liquid exists in the saucer 3 , the net prevents a desired animal or insect from accessing the liquid . in one embodiment the mesh pattern 17 of the net 10 is square having dimensions of 1 . 2 by 1 . 2 millimeters which is effective to block a mosquito from flying through the net 10 . the 1 . 2 × 1 . 2 millimeter standard is established by the world health organization guidelines for malaria prevention . one of ordinary skill in the art would understand the size of the mesh pattern may be changed depending on the size of the insect to be blocked . furthermore , the net may also be used to prevent an animal , such as a dog or cat from accessing any of the standing water . the mesh openings permit air flow which allows the standing water to evaporate depending on atmospheric conditions . in another embodiment hook and loop fasteners are attached directly to the inner face of the net , along the top portion . in this embodiment the strip of material is not necessary . in another embodiment , the elasticity of the strip of material , along with the use of fastener to adjoin the right and left portions , is sufficient to attach the net to the pot . in this embodiment , the friction of the elastic strip of material against the exterior surface of the pot is sufficient to keep the net in place . in another embodiment the netting is shaped as a sack . the bottom portion of the sack encompasses the saucer and extends up onto the exterior of the pot . the sack is attached or fastened to the pot using hook and loop fasteners , elastic strip of material , or both . the present disclosure is described above in terms of a preferred illustrative embodiment of a planter system . those skilled in the art will recognize that alternative constructions of such an apparatus can be used in carrying out the present invention . other aspects , features , and advantages of the present invention may be obtained from a study of this disclosure and the drawings , along with the appended claims .
the container netting system is comprised of a pot , saucer , and a net . the net is positioned around the pot and saucer to restrict the access to the interior of the saucer . the mesh openings of the net are sized to prevent a mosquito , or other bug , from accessing the water to lay eggs .
