Shade Netting to Protect Your Crops

Boost up Your Crop Production with Shade Netting

Shade netting helps to protect delicate crops from extreme temperatures. They are made from polyethylene material and are created to be resistant to harmful UV rays. It can be used in open fields to protect plants from heat that can result in the plant being harmed and alter the ability of the plant to produce a higher crop yield. For this reason, they are ideal for use with plants that are more sensitive to sun rays. In addition, a shade net could also be used in a greenhouse to protect plants in the early stages of growth during germination like pepper seeds. Or it might even be used by hobby gardeners to help reduce the amount of shade and wind that harms plants and reduces the amount of pests. All of these are important in protecting the plant and helping to improve the yield from each individual plant and the overall crop. In addition, the flexibility, durability, and engineering of the net make the possibilities endless for its uses. When the edges are reinforced with a seam, it can be attached to a number of different supports or structures.

Improving Crop Production with Shade Netting

There are a number of different benefits of using shade netting to improve crop production. Just like heat making it uncomfortable to enjoy the outdoors for people, excessive heat and sun also makes it unbearable for plants to grow. In some instances, the use of tarps has been used to reduce the effects of heat and create some shade for plants. However, these are not ideal for plants. Instead, netting helps to provide enough protection for plants from sun and wind while also making it possible for air to circulate around the plants. The netting not only brings about shade, but also creates an environment for heat to not be trapped around the plant. As a result, the soil surrounding the plant is also able to maintain the moisture necessary for ideal crop growth when the overall environment for plant growth is viable.

Increase the Life of Your Plants

Many plants have a growing season the can be reduced by the effects of the sun and wind. As a result, there is often a brief window in which a farmer or gardener is able to plant and harvest their crops. The use of netting helps to create a barrier against the elements like sun and wind for delicate plants. As a result, the life of the plants is able to be extended by simply altering the growing environment this way. The result is healthier plants, with a longer time span to be able to grow and harvest fruit and vegetables. When the plant is able to grow longer and produce more mature crops, it is able to also bring about larger crop yields.

Benefits of Netting for Structures

It is not only useful around just plants. Because it extremely versatile, shade netting is able to be used in a number of different settings, including with a number of different structures. When used around structures, it is able to create additional shade, but still allow for ventilation. This makes the use of them ideal in both permanent structures as well as temporary structures. For instance, it can be stretched over the top of a back patio or the family swimming pool, making it more enjoyable for everyone during the hot summer sun. It is also a great option for different sporting events to provide added protection from sun and wind for players sitting on the bench, or around the bleachers to provide a more comfortable viewing experience for spectators. It can also be used to create temporary shade for a number of different events, like a block party or family reunion, and then is able to easily be taken down.

Tips for Installing Netting

Shade netting is able to be quickly installed in a number of different settings. One is along a fence line. The edges of the netting can easily be reinforced with a seam, and then it tied down to the fence to provide shade and protection from wind. If there is not an existing structure in place, it is possible to install the netting by using metal or wood posts to stretch the netting and secure it in the exact location where additional protection is needed from the elements. Or even consider using the net to create an awning on a house or other building. Simply tether it to the building using hooks and stretch it over the area to create shade to be enjoyed by all. A benefit of using this type of netting is that it is not only able to block UV rays, but is also able to be easily installed, taken down, and even relocated to a new location making it an ideal solution for use at home, by schools, as well as on farms or ranches.
