Greenhouse shade nets control light for greenhouse plants
Shade netting installed in a greenhouse blocks direct sunlight while distributing excess heat evenly throughout the greenhouse.
What is greenhouse shade netting?
A greenhouse shade net is usually installed on top of a large greenhouse, inside the roof and on the netting of plants. This depends on the structure of the greenhouse and the height of the plants. Usually the higher the installation position the better it will fit. Usually the shade fabric fixing structure is considered before the greenhouse undergoes structural installation. They are usually integrated. If it is installed afterwards, often the lower position of the shade cloth will affect its effectiveness.
The greenhouse shade netting is usually fixed to a pulley system to allow for easy adjustment of light hours. Light conditions are adjusted according to the season and light intensity. This pulley system is very much like the hanging structure of curtains in the home. Very easy and convenient.
The choice of shade fabric is usually a fluffy one with a shade percentage of 50% or more. The colours are mostly black, dark green or reflective foil.
What are the specific roles of shade cloths?
- The role of shade cloth can be divided into the following 3 points.
- The first point is shading, which is usually expressed in terms of shading density.
- The second point is pattern and colour, and usually the supplier of the shade cloth will give specific samples to determine its pattern and colour.
- The third point is the hemming and pre-set locking loops, and in some cases, the addition of reinforcing webbing. These details can facilitate installation and maintenance.
Shade netting can help you create the right light conditions for your plants in a greenhouse. A greenhouse is a carefully controlled environment where optimum growing conditions for plants are created. The temperature, ventilation, humidity and light can be adjusted to suit different plants or different growth stages. We use a wide range of equipment today to achieve this, including heaters, fans, ventilators, greenhouse membranes, frames, sprinklers, etc. All of this equipment works together to keep the plants in the greenhouse with everything they need to grow quickly. Let’s take a closer look at the control and role of light.
Light often needs to be regulated according to the growth stage of the plants. The plants that generally come into the greenhouse to be cultivated often do not need very strong light conditions. But if we are faced with a hot summer, the tender leaves of the plants can be burned by the light. Many people do not distinguish between temperature control and light regulation. Light often needs to be lowered, while temperature, more often than not, needs to be raised. Too much light can burn the leaves, but it can also raise the temperature in the greenhouse. Most of the time, we also need this heating effect of the sun to raise the temperature of the greenhouse. This is why shade nets are installed indoors.
