Shade nets for concrete tanks by Aqua Hub Kenya

Shade nets for concrete tanks in Kenya from Aqua Hub Kenya start at KES 70 per square metre, depending on the shading percentage you choose.

A concrete tank sits in the sun all day, and the heat soaks through to the water inside. Warm water in strong light grows algae quickly, so stored water turns green and unpleasant. Shade nets for concrete tanks cut the sunlight before it reaches the water.

When you want a net that suits your tank and your site, Aqua Hub Kenya supplies shade net rolls in four shading percentages. Our team also fits the net on your tank, so you do not need to hire a separate installer. Reach us by calling +254790719020 or email info@aquahubkenya.co.ke with your tank size.

What do shade nets for concrete tanks from Aqua Hub Kenya cost?

Shade nets for concrete tanks cost between KES 70 and KES 160 per square metre. The rate rises with the shading percentage, so a light net costs less than a heavy one. Your final cost then depends on how large a cover your tank needs.

The table below shows the cost of the net for some common cover filtration rates:

These figures cover the net only and use example sizes. Several details shape the price you pay:

• The length and width of your tank top
• The shading percentage you pick
• How far the net hangs past the tank edges
• Whether you want our team to fit the net for you

For the exact price of your tank, send us its length and width by email at info@aquahubkenya.co.ke or call +254790719020. Ask about fitting at the same time, and our team will include it in your quote.

Why shade nets for concrete tanks keep stored water cooler

Concrete absorbs heat during the day, and a bare tank top takes the full force of the midday sun. Shade nets for concrete tanks block part of that light, so less heat reaches the concrete and the water. As a result, your water stays pleasant to use through the hot months.

A shade net also brings other gains for tank owners:

• Cooler water for livestock and irrigation
• Less sunlight reaching the water, which slows algae growth
• Fewer leaves and bits of dust falling into the tank
• Less heat on the tank top and the fittings around it

Therefore, a net is a simple and low-cost way to protect water you have already stored. It costs far less than treating green water after algae has set in.

Where shade nets for concrete tanks help most

Any concrete tank that stands in the open can gain from a net. The benefit grows when the water is used every day and its quality matters. Common cases include:

• Tanks that supply drip lines and sprinklers on a farm
• Tanks that fill troughs for dairy cows and goats
• Household tanks that store water for cooking and drinking
• School and institution tanks that serve many people each day

For example, a dairy farmer needs cool, clean water at the trough because cows drink less when the water is warm. Likewise, a farm with drip irrigation needs clear water, since algae can block the small drip holes. In both cases, a net over the tank protects the water before it reaches the pipes.

A net also suits tanks near homes with no trees around them. Open compounds experience higher levels of sunlight exposure, so the tank top heats quickly. Therefore, the shade net becomes the main source of shade for the tank.

Which shade percentage should you choose from Aqua Hub Kenya?

Every one of the shade nets for concrete tanks that we sell blocks a share of the sunlight, and the shading percentage tells you how much. We stock four percentages: 35%, 55%, 75% and 90%. A higher number blocks more light, but the right choice depends on how hot and exposed your site is.

Choose 35% or 55% shade from Aqua Hub Kenya for light cover

These nets let more light through, so they suit tanks that already get some natural shade from trees or walls. They also suit cooler areas, where the sun is less harsh. In addition, they keep leaves and dust out of the tank at a lower rate per square metre.

Choose 75% or 90% shade from Aqua Hub Kenya for hot, open sites

A tank in an open yard or on bare ground is exposed to the sun from morning to evening. For this kind of site, a heavier net blocks most of the light and gives the strongest protection against heat and algae. Many farmers in hot areas pick one of these two when water quality matters most.

How Aqua Hub Kenya fits shade nets for concrete tanks

Fitting shade nets for concrete tanks correctly matters as much as choosing them. A loose net sags and lets in light, while a well-fixed one stays taut above the tank. Our team handles the whole job in these stages:

• You share your tank dimensions and location with us
• We recommend a shading percentage that suits your site
• Our team measures the tank and the cover size
• We fix the net so it stays taut above the tank
• We check the finished cover before we leave

Because we supply the net and fit it ourselves, you deal with one team from the first call to the final check.

How Aqua Hub Kenya measures your tank for netting

Shade nets for concrete tanks must cover the whole tank top and a little extra on every side. For this reason, our team measures the length and width of the tank, then adds an allowance so the net hangs past the edges. A net that reaches only the edge of the tank leaves gaps where sunlight gets in.

You can also send us your own measurements before the visit and we will use them to prepare your quote. After that, our team confirms the numbers on site before fitting.

Care tips for shade nets for concrete tanks

Shade nets need very little attention, but a few habits keep them working well. Follow these routines through the year:

• Brush off dust and leaves that collect on the net
• Rinse the net with clean water now and then
• Check the fixing points and edges for loose spots
• Look for tears and mend or replace any damaged section
• Clear branches that rub against the net

Well-kept shade nets for concrete tanks let air move freely over the tank, and it stays in better shape for longer. If you notice a damaged section, email info@aquahubkenya.co.ke so our team can advise you.
