I don't net the beans. I have 3 poles one each end of a 20' row and one in the middle with canes in between to support a net.The net has 4" holes so not for protection. I use the same netting for sweet peas.
When I made a fruit cage, I ordered 100m of 2m width bird netting from easynets don't know if it is cheaper elsewhere but they are still selling it for the price I paid in 2014. It has got a few holes in now but they were made by rats or mice. I had to but 2ft of wire mesh round the bottom to keep the blackbirds out as they would go through the holes made by the rats but were not able to get out. There are still some places birds can get under at the bottom but I've only had robins and meadow pipits since but do need to block them sometime.
