Weather protection
Shade netting installation
Regulate light and protect against heat stress: we choose the right shading rate and install it without compromising the crop’s ventilation or growth.
- Installing since 2001
- UV-treated HDPE monofilament and raffia
- Installation tailored to each crop
Shading rates from 30% to 90%
Why shade netting
Too much sun also reduces production
Excess sun and heat cause heat stress, sunburn on the fruit skin and losses in quality and yield. Shade netting controls solar radiation and lowers the temperature under the cover, without cutting off ventilation or slowing growth.
We install custom shading systems for each crop and for livestock, with NovaNet® netting made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) monofilament and raffia with UV treatment, available in different shading rates depending on the light each case requires.

Frequently asked questions
What we are asked most
What shading rate do I need?
It depends on the crop, the area and the use: 30% is light protection, 50% balances light and shade, 80% greatly reduces light and 90% gives maximum shading. We recommend the rate once we know your case.
How long does shade netting last?
The estimated service life of shade netting is 3 to 5 years under normal conditions and with proper maintenance; it varies with colour, orientation and climate. Netting durability.
Does it reduce the crop’s ventilation?
No: it controls radiation without compromising ventilation or growth, unlike a closed cover.
Is it also suitable for livestock?
Yes. We provide shade for pens, machinery covers and resting areas to improve animal welfare. Solutions for livestock farming.
Do you install shading in public or commercial spaces?
Yes: car parks, outdoor work areas, parks and play areas. Public spaces · Commerce and industry.
