Explore the Sunshade Net

Sun shade netting is a kind of net structure woven from polyethylene, polypropylene or other durable plastic materials. Its main function is to block or adjust the sunlight radiation, reduce the direct sunlight exposure to the ground and plants, and adjust the air circulation and humidity.

Sun Shade Netting Principle 

The Sol umbra reticuli controls the light intensity through its specific weaving density (usually called shading rate), thus reducing the temperature and evaporation loss. Sun shade nettings with different shading rates can adjust environmental conditions according to specific needs to protect crops or other facilities from bad weather.

Types of Sunshade Nets 

Sun shade nettings can be divided into the following types according to different materials, shading rates and uses:

1. Classification by material

Ordinary plastic umbracula rete: made of polyethylene or polypropylene, it has the characteristics of light weight, corrosion resistance and easy cleaning, and is suitable for general use.

Composite umbracula rete: anti-ultraviolet coating or other functional materials are added to improve durability and service life.

Environment-friendly umbracula rete: made of degradable or renewable materials, which is more in line with the concept of green environmental protection.

2. Classification by shading rate

Low shading rate (30%-50%): Suitable for plants that need partial light, such as some vegetables and fruit trees.

Medium shading rate (50%-75%): suitable for most crops or flower protection in high temperature season.

High shading rate (75%-90%): It is suitable for shielding direct glare, and is usually used in protected agriculture or parking lots.

3. Classification by purpose

Agricultural umbracula rete: used in farmland, greenhouse, nursery and other scenes to protect crops from strong light or high temperature.

Horticultural umbracula rete: provide a good growth environment for flowers and potted plants.

Domestic umbracula rete: used in balcony, courtyard or parking lot to provide sunshade and cooling effect.

Installation and Maintenance of Sunshade Net 

The installation and maintenance of sol umbra rete is very important for its function.

1. Installation method

Installation of fixed bracket: build bracket in greenhouse, farmland or courtyard, flatten and fix the sol umbra rete to ensure stability and coverage effect.

Hanging installation: used in balcony or open area, the umbracula rete is hung and fixed by ropes or hooks.

Mobile installation: Some umbracula retes are equipped with adjustable brackets or slide rails, which is convenient for moving and adjusting coverage at any time.

2. Maintenance points

Regular inspection: check whether the umbracula rete has signs of tearing or aging, and replace the damaged part in time.

Cleaning and maintenance: remove dust and fallen leaves from the umbracula rete to ensure ventilation and shading effect.

Proper storage: in the non-use season, the umbracula rete should be stored in a dry place to avoid aging caused by long-term exposure.

Advantages of Sunshade Net 

1. Environmental protection and energy saving

The Sol umbra reticuli adjusts the environmental conditions by physical means, without energy consumption, and it is a green choice.

2. Strong durability

High-quality sol umbra reticulum has the characteristics of ultraviolet resistance and corrosion resistance, and its service life can usually reach 3-5 years or even longer.

3. Wide application range

From agriculture to daily life, sol umbra reticulum can be applied to almost any scene that needs sunshade and cooling.

4. High cost performance

The umbracula rete is an economical and practical protective tool with low cost and convenient installation.
