Shade Netting

Shade netting is an easy and inexpensive way of protecting young plants from the intensity of HID lighting/strong LED lighting once they've been moved from (less power, gentler) propagation lighting. The netting will reduce the light reaching the plants by 50% and help reduce heat stress which can cause plants to wilt, and eventually die. Versatile and durable, it's designed to protect plants from high-power artificial light/sunlight and harsh weather conditions. Ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, this netting provides just the right amount of shade to prevent overheating and sunburn, ensuring your plants grow strong and healthy. Shade netting is a perfect way to harden-off young plants against environmental stresses, such as strong artificial lighting. 

• Protects Against Sun Damage: Blocks a portion of sunlight to prevent sunburn and overheating, keeping plants cool and comfortable.
• Reduces Water Loss: Helps retain moisture in the soil by reducing evaporation, which can reduce watering frequency and conserve water.
• Weather Resistant: Made from high-quality, UV-stabilised materials that withstand sun exposure, rain, and wind for long-lasting performance.
• Improves Plant Health: Provides a balanced environment by moderating light and temperature, promoting healthier and more resilient plants.
• Easy to Install: Lightweight and easy to secure over frames, trellises, or directly over plants, with minimal setup required.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for greenhouses, gardens, vegetable patches, and nurseries, offering flexible use for different growing areas.
• Customisable Coverage: Available in various sizes and can be easily cut to fit specific areas, making it adaptable to any space or garden layout.
• Reduces Wind Impact: Acts as a windbreak to protect delicate plants from wind stress, creating a more stable growing environment.

Shade Netting is a simple, practical addition for gardeners who want to protect their plants from the elements. By providing controlled shade, it ensures your plants thrive in the ideal growing conditions, regardless of the weather. In smaller growing areas and grow tents, shade netting can be lightly misted with water which will help increase humidity in the critical first few days after transplanting.
