Company & Operations **Legal entity**: Joyeyou Industry (operating brand: EyouAgro) **Location**: Shanghai, China **Founded**: ~1996 (30+ years, family-owned, second-generation operated) **Workforce**: 50-person team **Production**: 8 production lines, 100% Virgin HDPE + UV stabilizer (no recycled material) **IP**: 21 patents (invention, utility model, design) **Business model**: B2B wholesale only — no retail, no small orders **Languages served**: English (primary) + 17 auto-translated sub-domains (es / it / fr / de / nl / pt / ru / ja / ko / ar / he / pl / sv / no / fi / cs / hu) **Time zone**: UTC+8 (China) **Response SLA**: within 24 hours on business days ### Leadership - **Kevin Lyu** (founder/operator) — 28 years in international B2B trade, second-generation factory owner. Authors all "Expert Insight" excerpts on the site. ### Why this matters for agents - Direct factory means agent inquiries reach the actual decision-maker, not a sales intermediary - 28 years of trade experience means standard L/C, FOB, UCP600 conventions are well understood - Custom production is the default; off-shelf SKUs are exceptions ## 2. Commercial Terms | Item | Value | |------|-------| | MOQ — Standard products | 50,000 sqm | | MOQ — Aluminet / specialty | 20,000 sqm | | Lead time — Production | 35–45 days | | Lead time — Total FOB Shanghai | 60–75 days | | Trade term (primary) | FOB Shanghai Sea Port | | Trade term (negotiable) | CIF major ports, DDP (case-by-case) | | Samples | Available on request | | Documentation | Material test reports, UV certifications, custom spec sheets | | Payment | Discussed per order (varies by buyer profile and order size) | ### How to submit a quote request 1.

Optional but helpful: target price, intended use, photos of existing setup, target installation date 4. Response within 24 hours (UTC+8 business days) Contact email: info@eyouagro.com ## 3. Product Knowledge — Core Concepts ### Mesh Size vs Aperture (critical distinction) Mesh number (e.g., 25-mesh, 50-mesh) refers to wire count per inch. **Aperture** is the actual opening size. Two nets with the same "50 mesh" label can have different apertures depending on weave structure. For pest exclusion, **always specify aperture**, not mesh number alone. ### Hail Net structures (3 types) - **Leno Woven** — classic woven structure, balanced strength and coverage - **Triangle Raschel** — lightweight, lower cost, good for moderate hail - **Raschel Quad Crossover** — four-direction crossover, highest tensile strength ### Vineyard netting configurations (4 forms) - **Side Net** — vertical, protects cluster zone - **Over Row** — covers row, drape-style - **Overhead Netting** — full canopy, larger system - **Drape Netting** — temporary, hand-thrown over rows ### Shade Cloth — material & weave variants - **Monofilament** — durable, common for shade cloth - **Woven** — traditional, balanced - **Aluminet (reflective)** — aluminum-coated, thermal screen, lower temperature beneath ### Common target pests for insect netting - Thrips (require ~17-mesh or finer) - Whitefly (40-mesh+) - Aphids (50-mesh+) - SWD (Spotted Wing Drosophila) — 75-mesh minimum ### Ventilation vs Exclusion trade-off Finer mesh → less natural airflow → higher humidity → higher disease risk (downy mildew, gray mold). 75-mesh can reduce ventilation 50%+ vs 40-mesh. Engineering trade-off; not a "tighter = always better" decision. ### Engineering mindset Protection nets are a **microclimate management system**, not single products. Choosing a net is choosing an environmental regime (light, heat, humidity, wind). ## 4. Product Catalog (77 SKUs) Full product list.

FAQs (51 entries) Question-answer pairs. Each FAQ post has a focused topic. ### Is HDPE UV Resistant? What UV Stabilizers Actually Do URL: https://eyouagro.com/faqs/is-hdpe-uv-resistant/ _Expert Insight:_ The growers who contact me about netting that cracked or faded after one season — it’s almost never the HDPE. It’s the UV stabilizer loading in the resin. Budget nets use 1% HALS additive. Our nets use 2.5–3%. On paper both are “UV-resistant HDPE.” In a Hawke’s Bay vineyard or a Spanish hail netting system, that difference means 3 years versus 8+ useful life. … _Detail:_ Many customers have asked us the same question: does the material HDPE used to make the net have the effect of anti-UV? The answer is that HDPE has a certain ability to resist ultraviolet light. However, with the extension of time and the increase of UV intensity, HDPE will gradually degrade. So usually the production of HDPE products will add a certain amount of anti-ultraviolet components, so as to ensure that HDPE products can be used outside for a long time. This way HDPE products can have an extended lifetime and enhanced UV resistance. … ### What Shade Cloth Percentage for Tomatoes? 30%, 40% or 50% by Climate & Variety URL: https://eyouagro.com/faqs/tomato-shade-cloth-percent/ _Expert Insight:_ The tomato growers who contact me after their shade cloth didn’t work — it’s almost never the wrong percentage.

Beefsteak and heirloom need 40–50% during peak heat only — not all season. … _Detail:_ Editor’s Note This article is part of the Tomato Shade Cloth Master Guide .

That is the product question. The supplier question is different. In Shimla and Kullu, where 60-80% hail damage at flowering can wipe a season, suppliers who deliver and install before the May-June window matter most. … URL: https://eyouagro.com/blog/hail-netting-suppliers-in-india/ - **Bird Netting Suppliers in South Africa: A Buyer’s Guide** Western Cape growers ask me about mesh size u2014 but that’s rarely the actual problem.

The more useful question is what spec their microclimate requires. In Pahang’s durian belt, the real enemy is not the Common Myna—it’s the assumption that any PE netting will hold up. … URL: https://eyouagro.com/blog/top-10-bird-netting-suppliers-in-malaysia/ - **Hail Netting Suppliers in Canada: A Grower’s Sourcing Guide** Canadian growers who contact me about hail netting are almost never asking about fabric specifications first.

Wrong question. In Hail Alley (CO, WY, NE), growers who replace netting early are not those with thin budgets — they bought on spec without a local supplier relationship. … URL: https://eyouagro.com/blog/hail-netting-suppliers-in-usa/ - **Shade Cloth Suppliers in the USA: A Commercial Buyer’s Guide** US greenhouse managers who ask me about shade cloth focus on price per sqm. Wrong starting question. In Arizona (peak UV 11-13 in summer), the cheapest shade cloth lasts 3-4 years instead of 7-10.
