Product overview
50% Heavy-Duty Shade Net – 4m x 50m (200 sq m Roll) Provide extensive, professional-grade solar protection across large agricultural, aquatic, and commercial areas. Engineered to filter 50% of direct sunlight, this high-capacity full roll reduces extreme ambient temperatures while allowing essential air movement, rain penetration, and natural ventilation to pass through freely.
Manufactured from UV-stabilized High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), this fabric offers maximum resistance against Sun degradation, harsh weather, and mechanical strain, ensuring reliable multi-season performance.
Where it is used
- Commercial Agriculture & Horticulture: Ideal for widespread coverage of open fields, orchards, nursery beds, shade houses, and delicate vegetable crops (e.g., tomatoes, peppers, leafy greens).
- Aquaculture & Fish Farming: Spans across fish ponds and hatcheries to regulate water temperature, reduce predator visibility, and inhibit unwanted algae growth.
- Livestock & Poultry Structures: Mounts over open-air poultry runs, dairy barns, and livestock pens to manage heat stress and improve animal productivity.
- Commercial & Construction Spaces: Serves as high-coverage site fencing, debris containment netting, windbreak barriers, and car park shade structures.
Key benefits
- Balanced Climate Control: Cut solar radiation by half to maintain ideal temperature levels without starving crops or animals of natural daylight.
- Superior Water Conservation: Drastically slows down soil and surface water evaporation, cutting down irrigation frequency and water costs.
- Severe Weather Protection: Serves as a buffer against heavy downpours, wind gusts, and hail impact, preventing structural crop damage and soil erosion.
- Algae & Heat Control for Water Bodies: Minimizes excessive heat accumulation and slows aggressive algae blooms in aquaculture settings.
- Longevity & Tear Resistance: Integrated UV inhibitors protect the fibers against sunlight brittleness, while lock-stitched edges ensure high resistance to stretching and tearing.
Application & maintenance
- 01Plan & Measure: Unroll the net across your target area or frame. Due to its wide 4-meter span, ensure you have sufficient support beams or cable runs every 1 to 2 meters to avoid sagging.
- 02Custom Cutting (Optional): Cut the net to length with heavy-duty scissors or a utility knife—the knitted design guarantees edges will not fray or unspool.
- 03Mounting & Securing — With Shade Cloth Clips / Grippers: Attach heavy-duty shade clips along the edges at 50cm to 1m intervals for secure anchorage to wires or frames.
- 04With Cable Ties (Zip Ties): Thread heavy-duty zip ties directly through the knitted selvage edge onto metal pipes, timber poles, or chain-link fencing.
- 05With Support Wires: Pass high-tensile steel or UV-coated wire along the edges and center ridge to support the 4-meter width across long spans.
- 06Tensioning: Pull the material taut across the supporting frame to ensure wind resistance and eliminate sagging during rain. Avoid over-stretching to extend the product’s operational lifespan.
