As a leading manufacturer of agricultural protection netting, we’ve worked with growers worldwide to design effective, long-lasting crop protection systems. One recent success story comes from Pedro, a client from Chile, who manages a 40-hectare orchard dedicated to growing kiwifruit.

Pedro reached out to us with a clear challenge: Chile’s unpredictable weather, particularly frequent hailstorms, was putting his kiwifruit crops at serious risk.

In addition, the country’s high labor costs made frequent maintenance or replacement of protective netting economically unfeasible.

He needed a solution that could withstand years of outdoor exposure, handle intense UV radiation, and offer high durability with minimal maintenance.

The Challenge: Weather, UV, and Labor Cost

Pedro’s farm is located in a region of Chile known for its varied climate. While the rich soil and sunlight are ideal for fruit cultivation, sudden hailstorms can devastate a harvest in minutes.

To make matters worse, labor costs in Chile are among the highest in South America, so the netting system had to be not only effective but also long-lasting to reduce replacement frequency and manpower.

Pedro’s key concerns were:

• UV resistance: He needed a net that could withstand years of sun exposure without becoming brittle or degraded.
• Strength and durability: The net had to survive the impact of large hailstones and not tear easily.
• Service life: Ideally, the net should last at least 8 years in the field.

Our Solution: Quad Crossover Hail Netting, Engineered for Chilean Conditions

After a detailed consultation with Pedro and analysis of his local climate, our technical team recommended our Quad Crossover Hail Netting — a premium netting solution specifically engineered for long-term, high-impact protection.

What makes Quad Crossover Hail Netting special?

• Four-thread diamond cross-stitch design: This unique structure provides enhanced tensile strength, making it highly resistant to hail impact and tearing.
• Multifunctional protection: Not only does it protect against hail, but it also acts as an effective barrier against birds, which is particularly beneficial for kiwifruit orchards.
• UV Stabilization: We customized the net with the best-in-class UV stabilizer, achieving a Kly rating of 1500, ensuring it can endure over 10 years of outdoor exposure under Chile’s intense sun.
• Material: Made from 100% virgin HDPE, the netting offers superior durability and environmental safety.

Installation and Field Performance

After receiving the shipment, Pedro and his team successfully installed the netting system across his orchard. He later shared on-site photos showing the professional appearance and excellent coverage of the netting.

The Quad Crossover Hail Netting performed well under actual field conditions, providing:

• Strong, consistent protection against hail events
• Effective shading and airflow, without compromising sunlight for kiwifruit growth
• Long-term durability, ensuring Pedro won’t need frequent replacements

Results: Long-Term Protection and Cost Efficiency

Pedro’s new Quad Crossover Hail Netting system has brought significant improvements to his orchard management. By choosing a durable, low-maintenance solution, he has:

• Reduced crop loss risk from hail and birds
• Lowered future maintenance and replacement costs
• Increased confidence in handling extreme weather conditions

This case perfectly illustrates how a targeted, technically sound netting system can protect crops, reduce long-term operational costs, and support sustainable fruit production — especially in regions with harsh sunlight and unpredictable weather like Chile.
