Advantages

The net combines a high-density polyethylene construction with a 95% shading factor to offer effective UV reduction and thermal shading while remaining lightweight and durable. Its light anthracite colour blends well with outdoor environments and the inclusion of 100 nylon cable ties simplifies mounting. The roll format allows cutting to size for customised installations.

Suitable for

• Shading garden beds, patios and terraces
• Reducing sunlight and heat inside small greenhouses or cold frames
• Creating privacy screens on balconies or fences
• Temporary sun protection for outdoor seating and play areas

When it may not be suitable

This net is designed primarily for home and hobby use and may not meet the strength or fire-retardant requirements needed for some commercial or industrial applications. It provides significant shade but is not a fully sealed barrier against wind or heavy rain, so additional support or waterproofing may be required in exposed locations.

Key specifications

• Material: polyethylene (PE HD)
• Colour: light anthracite
• Weight: 185 g/m²
• Shade level: approximately 95%
• Roll dimensions: 1.7 x 10 m
• Mesh size: supplied as a roll; mesh structure suitable for cut-to-fit installation

How to use

Unfold the roll and measure the area to be shaded, then cut the net to the required dimensions with scissors. Secure the net to a supporting structure such as posts, a fence or greenhouse frame using the supplied nylon cable ties; space ties evenly to prevent sagging. For larger installations, add additional fixing points or support battens. Trim any excess ties and fold or roll remaining material for storage.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the required shading level (95% may be too high for some plants)
• Measure the installation area to ensure the 1.7 x 10 m roll is sufficient or plan for joins
• Assess wind exposure and plan for additional fixings or support if needed
• Consider colour and appearance relative to the installation site

Usage recommendations

For prolonged performance, mount the net with adequate tension and secure multiple fixing points; inspect fastenings after strong winds and replace damaged sections promptly. For horticultural use, choose lower shading percentages for shade-tolerant plants or position the net at a distance to allow diffused light.
