Anti-hail netting in Lleida: professional installation

Lleida is not only one of the most productive fruit-growing areas in Europe. It is also one of the most exposed to increasingly frequent and intense hailstorms. At Novafrut we have been working on the ground in Lleida for more than two decades, protecting apple, pear, peach, cherry and nectarine farms. In this article we tell you how we design, install and optimise our anti-hail netting solutions in this key region.

Why are more and more growers in Lleida installing anti-hail netting?

• Increasing frequency of hailstorms (especially between May and August).
• High commercial standards in fruit markets: a single mark on the skin can halve the value of the product.
• Rising climate risk: extreme sun, wind, droughts and sudden changes in temperature.
• The need to secure annual income and improve medium-term profitability.

How do we work at Novafrut when protecting farms in Lleida?

Our approach is 100% adapted to each case. We do not work with standard solutions, because every farm has different conditions. 1. Initial technical study (free and with no obligation) We visit the farm and take measurements with GPS equipment. We analyse the terrain, the orientation, the type of crop and the access conditions. 2. Structure design We plan a tailor-made installation based on the most suitable system (Trampolín or Capilla), taking into account factors such as alley width, field mechanisation or the natural slope. 3. Choice of materials according to objectives We use our own NovaNet® netting and combine wooden or concrete posts according to the needs of the project. 4. Professional installation We have local assembly teams with experience in the area. We install the netting with the Winterfix system to make folding easier, and we always work to the standards required by Agroseguro.
