Importance of Shade Nets
Shade nets are important to avoid excessive evaporation and water loss through high sunlight. These nets are not harmful to plants at all, they are fabric non-decaying materials. Therefore, shade nets can last for a long time without releasing chemicals or harmful gases to plants unless exposed to heat.
Penetration Levels of Shade Nets
Shade nets are knitted with various space or hole allowances left. These spaces are meant for aeration and sunlight penetration.
There are 35 %, 55%, 75% and 90% shade nets.
How Our Affordable Shade Nets work
Knitted shade nets designed to allow sunlight penetration at different levels. The sunlight that passes through is determined by the size of the holes.
Our shade nets have dull colours to attract warmth and lose it to the surrounding when it exceeds. The colours are black or green.
