Description
Diamond Lock Hail Netting uses a four-yarn diamond lock-stitch knit that holds its mesh geometry under load, shielding fruit from hail strikes and keeping small birds out.
Its generous roll widths and natural stretch make it a better fit for permanent canopy structures than narrower nets.
It shields crops from hail and birds while holding an even, sheltered microclimate beneath the canopy.
Made from 100% virgin HDPE with UV stabiliser, the fabric does not take up water and stays sound season after season.
Under the net, the knitted canopy softens wind and direct sun, creating a steadier microclimate that supports growth and cuts water loss from evaporation and wind drift.
Features：
- Advanced Protection: Offers comprehensive defense against hail, birds, and sunburn, ensuring crops remain unharmed.
- Diamond Lock-Stitch Design: The four-yarn lock-stitch knit closes the mesh tightly enough to exclude small birds as well.
- Micro-Climate Creation: The canopy structure supports plant growth by holding onto moisture and softening wind.
- UV Resistant: Manufactured with UV additives, ensuring a UV stability of 1500KLY, protecting the netting from sun degradation.
- Durable Fabric: Made from 100% Virgin High-Density Polyethylene, for long service life with no rot or moisture uptake.
