Description

Running a big farm successfully requires smart resource management and reliable crop protection. Open-field farming exposes high-value crops to scorching sun, intense heat stress, heavy winds, and destructive pests. Investing in high-quality shade nets for sale in Kenya from Eunidrip Irrigation Systems solves these major problems. Our premium nets create an optimized microclimate for large-scale production, ensuring you get predictable, uniform yields throughout every season.

Our commercial-grade netting is manufactured from 100% Virgin High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE). These knitted monofilament cloths feature an advanced lock-stitch design. This means that if the fabric is ever cut or punctured by sharp tools on the farm, the hole stays localized. It will not unravel or split further down your crop rows. Every product is fully UV-treated, providing big farms with a reliable 5-year field lifespan under intense tropical sun exposure. Whether you are expanding a commercial tree nursery or setting up multi-acre net houses, our materials deliver industrial-grade durability.

Shade net percentages and their uses  

Shade nets vary with light emission intensity. Light emission intensity is the amount of shade which the shade net provides to the crops under it.

The commonly used nets are categorized in terms of percentages. The available percentages commonly used are 35% ,50% ,75% and 90% as explained below ;

• 35% Shade Net – Allows more sunlight, ideal for crops requiring high light intensity such as tomatoes and peppers.

• 50% Shade Net – Balances sunlight and shade, suitable for vegetables, tree nurseries, and flowers.

• 75% Shade Net – Reduces more heat, perfect for delicate crops like herbs, ornamentals, and leafy greens.

• 90% Shade Net – Offers maximum shading, commonly used for livestock pens, storage areas, or highly light-sensitive plants.

By filtering excess radiation while allowing sufficient light for photosynthesis, our shade nets prevent UV damage, minimize sun scorch, and promote healthy, uniform crop growth.

For instance, 90% light emission shows that the net provides 90% shade thus cutting out 10% of the light from reaching the plants.

Nets also come in different colors ranging from white, black and green colors.

Nets provide protection from birds; provide uniform shadow to plants and to control air movement in greenhouses, net houses, and nurseries. The nets are UV treated with resistant additives giving the net its good strength and durability.

Benefits of Shade Nets

• Temperature Regulation – Shade nets reduce heat stress by lowering internal temperatures, creating a cooler microclimate for crops, livestock, or workers.

• Water Conservation – By reducing evaporation, they help farmers save on irrigation water, especially in dry regions of Kenya.

• Wind and Pest Protection – They act as windbreakers, protecting tender crops, while also keeping away large insects and birds.

• Versatility – Apart from farming, shade nets can be used for construction sites, car sheds, fish ponds, poultry houses, and event spaces.
