Agricultural shade cloth is a fabric made from high - density polyethylene material and is processed through a drawing and weaving process. This fabric comes in a wide variety of patterns and weaves and is available in a variety of colors. It provides a better growing environment for plants while offering shade. Agricultural shade nets are often cost - effective and they use better techniques to enhance shade while keeping costs as low as possible.
This type of shade netting has the following functions and features:
Higher shading efficiency, usually requiring 50% - 80% shading. This can effectively reduce direct sunlight on crops, keeping plants at a lower temperature while retaining moisture and humidity.
Lower unit weight. Since agricultural shade cloth needs a large amount of support, a lighter weight makes it easier to install. Moreover, it also reduces material and transportation costs.
Larger single - piece area. Agricultural shade nets are of a large scale and often require large shaded areas. A single piece of larger shade netting can be installed more easily without the need for sewing and finishing.
The color is generally black or green. This is to effectively reduce direct sunlight for plants while ensuring adequate photosynthesis.
The use of agricultural shade cloth has to be combined with a sturdy support frame, which is typically connected with metal rods. As depicted in the picture, you can discover common fixing methods in the photo album. We are able to recommend the appropriate support method according to the plants you cultivate.
