Shade Netting: What Is It?

Shade netting is a woven non-woven material that protects against the harmful effects of direct sunlight. It reflects most of the rays and evenly diffuses the rest, allowing it to control the intensity of sunlight and reduce the level of radiation on plants.

The netting is made of high-density polyethylene with added UV stabilizers and dyes. The molten material is stretched into threads, which are joined with special knots. These knots do not unravel when the netting is torn or cut.

Types of Shade Netting

The shading degree (density) is expressed as a percentage and depends on the material's transmissive properties, thread thickness, and weaving method.

™Agreen produces shade netting with various shading degrees:

• 40, 45% – lets in a lot of light, creates light shade, does not require removal, ideal for light-loving vegetable crops and flowers;
• 60% – a universal shading degree, suitable for protecting shade-tolerant crops, but it needs to be removed in cloudy weather;
• 70% – for greenhouses, tennis courts, pools, and yard shading;
• 80% – for farms and industrial facilities;
• 85% – provides deep shade throughout the day, used for terraces, gazebos, and car canopies;
• 95% – the densest option, recommended for fences and camouflage.

Our catalog offers sunshade nets in various colors:

• green;
• beige;
• yellow;
• white-yellow;
• white-blue;
• silver.

Green netting is commonly used for growing plants. It protects crops from scorching sunlight, creates a favorable microclimate, and enhances growth and development. When choosing sun protection, consider the desired effect, sunlight intensity, regional climate, and the lighting and temperature needs of the plants.

Packaging Options:

• In rolls – width from 1 to 12 meters, length 50 and 100 meters;
• Pre-cut – width 2, 4, 6, and 8 meters, length 5 and 10 meters.

The price of shade netting depends on the material density, size, and color.

Key Features of Agreen Shade Netting

It is characterized by high strength and elasticity, ensuring a long service life of up to 5 years.

After cutting, there is no need to process the edges. Thanks to its special weaving, it does not fray.

Purchase nets directly from the manufacturer ™Agreen wholesale and retail through a dealer network across Ukraine.

Shade netting provides reliable sun protection, which:

1. Reduces the intensity of sunlight;
2. Prevents overheating – lowers temperature by 5-10°C;
3. Creates an optimal microclimate for plant growth and development;
4. Slows moisture evaporation, reducing the frequency of watering;
5. Speeds up fruit ripening, improves quality, and increases yield by 10-20%.

Additionally, it protects against strong wind, hail, and pests.

Usage Options

Sunshade nets are most commonly used in vegetable growing, gardening, and floriculture to protect vegetable, berry, and decorative plants from scorching sun and birds. Shade material covers plots of various sizes – from individual beds to entire fields.

When choosing protection for the garden, consider the plants' lighting requirements. Shade netting for cucumbers, watermelons, melons, and leafy greens should be as transparent as possible (with a shading degree of 40 or 45%), as these crops require plenty of light to grow. Shade netting for tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cabbages, strawberries, and blueberries should have a density of 60%. It reliably protects plants from radiation and fruits from burns.

Shade netting for greenhouses (optimal density – 70%) is used to prevent plant death from overheating.

Apart from agriculture, sunshade netting is widely used for other purposes.

Shade netting can be used to:

• Create shade in resting areas on private plots and summer cottages;
• Provide protective screens for doors and windows – reducing indoor temperature;
• Cover tennis courts, stadiums, pools, and waterparks – ensuring comfortable conditions for work and leisure;
• Roof animal shelters – creating shade and protection from heat;
• Canopy open parking lots – preventing car overheating and fading;
• Cover construction material storage – protecting against overheating and damage;
• Create fences – shielding private areas, providing privacy, and enhancing seclusion.

Shade netting for gazebos, pergolas, playgrounds, and summer terraces for cafes and restaurants helps avoid excessive radiation. A density of 85% is usually used.

Shade netting for fences is interwoven with the main fence structure to conceal the yard. This requires material with a minimum light transmission rate (95%).

How to Attach Shade Netting

Sunshade netting is quick and easy to install and remove. It can be fixed on any frame (metal, wooden, or plastic).

First, install poles of the appropriate height and stretch an agro trellis or steel cable with a diameter of 3-4 millimeters between them. Then attach the netting to the cable using cable ties, special clips, metal wire, or rope.
