Shade netting is commonly used in agriculture and gardening to create a cooler microclimate for plants, which helps them stay healthy and productive.
The density of the netting is measured in percentages, with higher percentages blocking more sunlight. For example, a 75% shade net provides optimal protection for plants and is suitable for home gardening.
Shade netting can also help to reduce temperatures, with a 40% shade cloth potentially reducing temperatures by 3-5 degrees Celsius.
The lifespan of a shade net can be 3-5 years, depending on the quality.
