The quality and amount of light are essential to a successful harvest. No wonder that people with a profitable business can be hesitant to put a cover over it. However, with the unpredictable weather and damaging pests, a cover can save you a lot of money. With the Hailguard and Bird Netting, you don’t have to choose between sunlight and protection.
Hail Can’t Be Controlled — But Its Impact Can Be
Hail damage can wipe out a season’s worth of work in minutes. For open field growers, the financial risk is significant. EnviroTec’s Hailguard Netting creates a tough, reliable buffer against hailstones. A white net with a gauge of only around 5mm holes, the Hailguard only creates 10-12% shade. So, it gives you the benefits from the open field, like sun and rain, while creating a tough, reliable buffer against damaging hail, debris and other risk factors.
Keep Birds and Bats Off Your Produce
Whatever food you are growing, birds and bats are a common threat. Our Anti-Bird Netting is designed to stop aerial pests before they eat your trees and plants. No animals will be harmed, and ventilation or sunlight will not be compromised. The Anti-Bird Netting will help protect your profits by protecting your crops and reducing the need for pest control.
