  • The function of the sunshade net
Cooling and sun protection
The shading net, with its high-density weaving structure, can block 30% to 90% of the intense sunlight, significantly reducing the temperature in the covered area. 
 
Sun protection 
Protect the plant leaves to prevent leaf burns, especially for tender plants such as seedlings and succulents, to avoid the occurrence of burnt edges and color fading. 
Delaying material aging and providing protection for greenhouse films and outdoor equipment (such as irrigation equipment). 
 
Moisturizing and Windproof 
Reduce water evaporation and decrease the frequency of irrigation. Prevent strong winds from damaging the crops and prevent the crops from falling over. 
 
Adjust the lighting 
Scientific light control, optimization of photosynthetic efficiency, and promotion of healthy plant growth.
 
  • Usage Guide 
Agricultural greenhouse 
External shading: The net and the plastic film are spaced 30 to 50 cm apart, and can be adjusted using a curtain system or manually. 
Internal shading: Suspended above the crops, avoiding close contact with the plants. 
 
Construction site / Construction project 
When installing the shading net, it is necessary to determine the installation method based on the structure, size and direction of the building. During the installation process, scaffolding needs to be used to support the hooks and support rods that fix the shading net. 
 
Home Gardening 
Small potted plants: Use a circular wire mesh with a 50% shading rate to provide shade at noon. 
Garden: Build a low arched shed to ensure both ventilation and shading. 
Note: Avoid full coverage throughout the day. Ventilate in the morning and evening!
