In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore everything you need to know about shade nets: from choosing the ideal model to practical installation and maintenance tips.
The Importance of Shade Netting for Your Nursery:
Shade netting is specialized material designed to filter sunlight and protect plants and animals from weather conditions. Its use is essential for:
- Protecting seedlings and young plants from excessive sun
- Reducing internal nursery temperature
- Protection against strong winds
- Filtering heavy rain
- Protecting animals from sun and bad weather
How to Choose the Ideal Shading Percentage for Your Nursery:
One of the most important aspects when choosing shade netting is the percentage of sunlight blockage:
35% Shade Netting
- Ideal for leafy vegetables
- Moderate protection for plants needing more light
50% Shade Netting
- Perfect for most seedlings and ornamental plants
70-80% Shade Netting
- The 80% netting for cattle nurseries reduces up to 80% of solar radiation, preventing thermal stress and increasing animal comfort. Allows ventilation while keeping the environment cool without gas buildup. Cushions the impact of light rain and hail, while controlling luminosity. Helps prevent entry of birds and larger insects. Made with durable material and UV-resistant additive for long lifespan.
- Recommended for orchids, bromeliads and sensitive plants
Installation Guide: Step-by-Step for Maximum Shade Net Durability:
Proper installation ensures your shade net has maximum efficiency and extended lifespan, preventing tears and premature wear. Follow this guide:
- Prepare the structure - Ensure posts, cables and supports are sturdy, level and rust-free.
- Measure precisely - Take exact area measurements, leaving minimal slack for tensioning without excess pressure.
- Secure with proper materials - Use marine ropes, reinforced clamps or stainless steel hooks to withstand winds.
- Distribute tension evenly - Stretch the net evenly, avoiding folds, air pockets or stress points.
