Unlike a greenhouse (usually with plastic cover), Net structures or Net Greenhouses allow a free-flow of the surrounding ambient environment. Shade cloth can breathe. It simply provides a barrier to sunlight, heat, pests and weather events – such as hail and high wind. These weather canopies have also been proven to reduce moisture evaporation. Our cable-span shade structures, using galvanised steel or treated pine posts and high tensile steel cable, are designed to withstand the damaging effects of storms, while providing an effective protected area for your commercial orchard. If you require orchard protection against birds, bats, hail, wind or heat, then an industrial shade structure is what you need.

Advantages of Shade Net Greenhouses
For one thing, shade nets have been found to be suitable for a variety of plant species ranging from medicinal types to spices and of course, agricultural plants. They are easy to install, cost-efficient, and are reliable no matter what the climate is. Plus, you can easily prepare them with a few wire or iron ropes lying around your toolshed.
Among the best benefits, you can get from shade nets are temperature control in your greenhouse or nursery, the improvement of light quality, and protection from harsh weather like rain or super sunny days. And working in a cool and shaded environment is definitely a huge bonus too!
As for water consumption, most quality shade nets are designed to reduce the required water that your plants need especially during the dry season by decreasing hot wind that blows on your plants by about 40% to prevent them from shrinking and dehydrating.
Now, if you are wondering which vegetables work the best with shade nets, root crops such as carrots, cucumbers and potatoes, as well as leafy greens like broccoli, cauliflower and spinach are your best bets. They improve greenhouse environments including the quality of soil by maintaining its moisture and water distribution.
