7 common mistakes when installing anti-hail netting
The most frequent mistakes when installing anti-hail netting — and how to avoid them so the structure lasts for years, not just one season.
Structures and surveying
Land surveys and setting-out
Precise measurements so that every netting, fencing or trellis installation fits the real terrain: fewer adjustments on site, less wasted material and faster execution.
- High-precision equipment
- Surveys and setting-out
- Complemented by SIGFRUT®
GPS survey on every netting project
Why measure first
The installation adapts to the farm, not the other way round
A precise land survey and setting-out is the foundation for properly planning and carrying out any agricultural, livestock or construction project. With detailed measurements we optimise the design of netting, fencing, trellising and any installation on the ground.
Copying a generic system without taking into account the real geometry or slope of the plot is one of the most common mistakes. That is why we carry out a GPS land survey on every netting project. Mistakes we avoid.
Benefits
Measuring properly saves money on site
Exact data before you start, so there is nothing to correct afterwards.
Precision
Exact data to avoid installation errors.
Optimised terrain
Designs adapted to the plot for greater stability and profitability.
Lower costs
Avoids unnecessary modifications and adjustments during execution.
Regulatory compliance
Detailed measurement to ensure alignment with standards and regulations.
Faster installation
Everything planned in advance for smoother execution.
Defined boundaries
Exact definition of land and spaces in subdivisions and boundary marking.
Applications
What we carry out land surveys for
- AgricultureMeasurement for installing trellising, greenhouses and protective netting.
- Livestock farmingDefining areas for enclosures and fencing.
- Construction and civil engineeringPrecise setting-out of projects.
- Subdivisions and boundary markingExact definition of land and spaces.
Surveying and SIGFRUT®
Plan with SIGFRUT®, execute with land surveying
For the planning phase we use SIGFRUT®, our geographic information system: it gives instant access to areas, number of plants, posts and metres of wire with approximate data.
When it is time to execute —exact setting-out, legal boundaries, slopes— traditional land surveying comes in, providing precision measurements. Combined, they cut time and cost on every project.

How we work
From the plot study to the finished installation
A single point of contact throughout the project: we measure, design, supply and install.
Site visit and measurement
We study the plot, the crop and the risk. If needed, a topographic survey or measurement with SIGFRUT®.
Project and quote
We propose the system, the materials and the number of posts, cables and anchors. A detailed, no-obligation quote.
Supply and installation
We manufacture the NovaNet® netting and build the structure with our own team, or we supply the material if you install it yourself.
Follow-up
Advice on the use and maintenance of the installation to extend its service life season after season.
Frequently asked questions
What we are asked most
What is the difference between a survey and setting-out?
A survey measures the land as it is so that the installation can be designed; setting-out transfers the designed project onto the ground, marking precisely where each element goes.
Do I need a land survey to install anti-hail netting?
That is what we recommend: adapting the system to the real geometry and slope avoids one of the most common mistakes. On every netting project we carry out a GPS survey. Mistakes when installing anti-hail netting.
When is SIGFRUT® enough and when is a land survey needed?
SIGFRUT® is ideal for planning —areas, plants, posts and wire— with approximate data; land surveying provides the exact measurements for execution, setting-out and legal boundaries. Comparison.
Do you carry out land surveys for civil engineering?
Yes. As well as agricultural and livestock projects, we carry out setting-out for construction and civil engineering, land subdivisions and boundary marking.
