Anti-hail netting in Spain: Novafrut, the pioneering company and benchmark since 2001

Protecting crops against hail is no longer an option, but a necessity. Every year, thousands of hectares in Spain suffer damage from storms that directly affect the grower's profitability. In this context, installing anti-hail netting is the most effective solution — and if you are looking for a company with real field experience, Novafrut has been a national benchmark for more than 20 years.

The first company in Spain specialising in anti-hail netting

In 2001, when only a few growers were committed to protective structures, Novafrut was already installing anti-hail netting on fruit orchards in Lleida and Aragón. Over time, we became a pioneering company in this sector, developing solutions adapted to the conditions of Spanish crops. Today, after more than 5,000 hectares installed, we continue to lead innovation in agricultural weather-protection systems.

What sets us apart from other installation companies

• Our own system designs, such as the Novafrut Trampolín, with better discharge and durability.
• Custom manufacturing of every component, from the net to the reinforcements.
• Class 4 SP wooden posts and triple-galvanised steel cables — we do not skimp on materials.
• Professional finishing with knots to the top cable, which prevents tears in the medium term.
• Personalised service: a study of each farm and a no-obligation quote.

Installations throughout Spain — and beyond

Over the years we have worked in many autonomous communities: Cataluña (Lleida, Girona, Tarragona), Aragón (Fraga, Zaidín, Caspe, Bajo Cinca), Navarra and La Rioja, Castilla-La Mancha, and one-off projects in Andalucía and Extremadura. We have also exported projects to France, Portugal, Morocco and Mexico. Wherever there are fruit orchards or vineyards that need protection, Novafrut is there.

What types of anti-hail netting we install

We work with the two most widely used systems:

• Trampolín system: the most advanced, with better hail discharge and no need to replace the elastic every year.
• Capilla forzada system: more economical, quick to fold and effective when properly adapted to the terrain.

Both systems can be combined with shade, windbreak and bird netting and hybrid structures, depending on the needs of each farm.
