Agricultural Shade Net

Agricultural shade net is a knitted HDPE fabric that reduces sunlight intensity by 30–95% while air still moves through it. Growers use it over orchards, greenhouses and livestock shelters to lower temperature and prevent sunburn. Standard rolls are 1–6 m wide and 50 m or 100 m long, in green, blue, beige, brown or black.

Selection

Three questions that settle the specification

01

Crop and growth stage

Young transplants and nursery stock sit in the 30–40% band; mature fruiting crops take 50–70%.

02

Climate load

Above 35 °C peak summer, move one grade darker than the crop guide and confirm ventilation.

03

Structure and fixing

Choose roll width from the bay spacing, then buttonhole or eyelet spacing from the wind load on site.
