Today, I’d like to share a recent success story from a small vineyard in California, USA.
Joe, the vineyard owner, manages a 5-acre grape farm, and he came to us with two serious concerns: bird damage and the unpredictable threat of hailstorms.
The Challenge: Birds and Hail Causing Crop Loss
Birds had been attacking Joe’s grapes year after year, especially as they ripened. At times, he was losing up to 15–20% of his harvest just from bird damage alone.
Hail posed an even more unpredictable and devastating risk — one sudden storm could wipe out the entire season’s work.
Joe needed a solution that was:
- Effective against both birds and hail
- Easy to install and remove without heavy equipment
- Durable enough to last several seasons outdoors
- Simple to manage and store on-site
Our Recommendation: Vineyard Side Netting
After several discussions with Joe and an in-depth understanding of his vineyard’s layout, we recommended our Vineyard Side Netting system. This netting is designed specifically for small to mid-sized vineyards that want protection with simplicity.
Key benefits of the side netting system:
- No need for large machinery — installation and removal can be done manually.
- Rolls up neatly on the trellis when not in use — no separate storage space required.
- Provides strong protection against birds by creating a physical barrier along the sides of the grape rows.
- Reduces hail impact by deflecting direct hits away from the fruit clusters.
Quality You Can Trust
For Joe, product quality was just as important as ease of use. That’s why our side netting is made from:
- 100% virgin HDPE (no recycled material) for superior durability
- High-performance UV stabilizers, tested to withstand 5–8 years of outdoor use
- Strict in-house quality control, including aging resistance, shade rate, and UV blocking tests
This ensures Joe’s investment delivers consistent, reliable protection season after season.
Hassle-Free Delivery with DDP
Because Joe runs a small farm and did not have an import license, we provided DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) service — handling all import paperwork, taxes, and customs clearance. The goods were delivered directly to his vineyard, saving him time, stress, and extra costs.
The Result: Peace of Mind and a Healthier Harvest
Less than a month after placing his order, Joe received and installed the side netting system. Since then:
- Bird attacks have stopped completely
- The netting withstood a major hailstorm, with no damage to his grapes
- He reports that the product is easy to handle and stores cleanly on his trellises
Joe told us he feels incredibly fortunate to have found a solution that protects his crop and simplifies his work. And we’re honored to have supported his success.
