Netting is a long term investment, and that investment quickly pays for itself in financial returns—as A1 packouts every season because there is: no hail damaged fruit; reduced wind rub and sunburn
water savings.
Net Pro have a product that counteracts high solar radiation, heat stress, drought, desiccating winds, and hail storms.
Our flat canopy and patented pitch canopy have undergone extensive research and are designed to save livelihoods.
Additional benefits
NetPro net products provide additional benefits by reducing plant stress, sunburn and wind speed, and in certain situations, the nets can significantly reduce transpiration rates.
Value of Netpro products
Growers have discovered the value of Netpro products when they need to be counted on.
Under a NetPro canopy, entire fields suffer minimal damage in comparison to crops that remain uncovered and may be completely destroyed.
Long term investment with quick pay back
Most clients have reported that canopy pay-back time is about four years. The structure will last upwards of 12 years—food for thought.
Canopies minimise evaporation
NetPro have designed a canopy that reduces evaporation losses from water storages.
In some districts the canopy saved 90% of the water lost to evaporation.
Some jurisdictions in Australia lose upwards of 1.8m of water per annum. Over one hectare, a 90% reduction in evaporation losses equates to a saving of 16.2 megalitres per annum.
Water quality and other benefits
The Netpro water storage canopy also improves the quality of water and reduces algal blooms.
The weave of the cloth has been designed to keep the water cooler and to limit light and air pollution. As a result, problems with algal blooms are minimised, and so is the need for chemical treatment.
With a canopy in place, erosion is reduced. The canopy minimises wind and wave action erosion by 90%; and increases the life span of storage liners
The canopy sits proud of the bank. This restricts access by people and animals to water, so security is assured.
Canopies are custom designed to requirements and can be installed over dams that are full or empty. They offer:
• water savings from reduced evaporation
• increased security against unauthorised access
• pollutant and contaminant free water
• operational practicality
• design aesthetics
• structural longevity.
