Shading nets are constructed to protect crops like citrus groves and banana plantations from severe weather changes mainly high winds, rain, or scorching heat. A network of galvanized tubes are mounted in different structures depending on the area of the farm, the type of crop, height required, and shading intensity. White plastic mesh with 50% shading is used to cover the farm or other types of shading covers depending on the crop and the prevailing weather conditions in the location of the farm. Construction of a shading net structure ensures a uniform growth of the fruit, a higher yield, and it helps protect the plantations from birds and insects. Pillars made of 2.5 inch galvanized pipes are fixed around the farm with spacing ranging from 3 to 6 meters depending on required design of the shade with 5 meters height while the internal pipes are with 6 - 8 meters height. Pipes are reticulated at top with 4 mm galvanized wires in such way to carry the net. The same type of net specifications is also installed on the sides. Shading Net areas are specifically designed to suit a projects actual requirements, taking into consideration the location, crop type, weather conditions, and the purpose for which it is constructed. A wide range of designs are available with different specifications of the type of shading net that should be used.
