Shade Net Roll — 40% | 3m x 50m

40% Shade Net — Balanced Shade for Serious Growing

Sold as a full 3m x 50m roll (150m² of coverage), our 40% shade net is the workhorse density for South African growing conditions — enough shade to meaningfully reduce heat stress and sunburn on sensitive crops, while still letting through enough light for strong, healthy growth. It's the density we use across our own shade net tunnel range, and the one most nurseries and home growers reach for first.

Knitted from UV-stabilised HDPE for long outdoor life, it holds its shape and shade factor season after season without the sagging or brittleness you get from cheaper nets.

Why growers reach for 40%

• Meaningful reduction in heat stress and sunburn while maintaining strong light levels
• The standard density for orchards, vineyards, nurseries and vegetable production
• Knitted UV-stabilised HDPE — won't rot, stretch out of shape, or perish in South African sun
• Full 3m x 50m roll — enough to cover a standard tunnel run or a decent-sized bed without joins
• Available in Black, White, Grey and Green to suit your structure or aesthetic
• Couriered nationwide — wherever you're growing in South Africa, we'll get it to you
