Shade Net Prices and Installation
The installation of a shade Net requires that a structure be built to support the net and make shaded area for crop farming. The shade net covering on the structure reduces the rate of sunlight reaching the crop field.
Crops to Plant Under Shade Net Houses
You can build a shade net house for the purpose of cultivating crop varieties including;
- Seedling germination – vegetable, fruit, tree, corn, and flower seedlings
- Cuttings – flowers, grafted fruits and tree hedges
- herbs and spices such as rosemary, geraniums, lemon grass, mint and others
- vegetables such as cabbage, sweet peppers, carrot, coriander and others
How to Determine the Best Shade Net
The criteria for identifying the best or appropriate shade net material is by crop suitability assessment. A crop matches a certain shade net filtration depending on the sunlight requirement.
A crop with high sunlight requirement should be planted under shade net covering with smaller sunlight filtration rate.
Another aspect of shade net assessment is through consideration of the climatic condition of the area of farming. In hot regions, evaporation rates are higher and higher filtration shade nets are applicable.
Higher sunlight filtration can protect crops from excess water loss and strain normally witnessed in young plants.
Types of Shade Nets
Knitted Shade Nets
Yarn loops are interlocked to create knitted shade nets. They offer great shade, are strong, and lightweight. Knitted shade nets are the best option if you want a cheap structure, and your crops don’t require much shade.
Woven Shade Nets
They offer superior wind and rain protection and are heavier than knitted shade nets. Weaved shade nets require slightly more stable structures due to their increased weight. Additionally, they are perfect for plants that need more sun protection.
