Put It Up Right, First Time

Every crop and every net goes up differently — but the physics never change. Step-by-step guides written by the people who make the nets, before your crew climbs the poles.

Four things every good installation shares

Whatever the crop, these four stages decide whether a net lasts one season or ten. Get them right before opening a single roll.

01

Survey & Layout

Row spacing, post positions, wind direction and slope — measured before anything is ordered, not after.

02

Structure First

Posts, anchors and wires carry the load. The net only fails after the structure lets it.

03

Tension, Not Strain

Nets are tensioned to work with wind and hail loads — drum-tight is wrong, sagging is worse.

04

Fasten & Inspect

Clips, plates and edges checked twice: after installation, and again after the first storm.

How the Systems WorkEach structure has its own overview and detail — based on Rigden (2008).

Two families: whole-orchard full canopy (flat or pitched), and individual-row tunnel netting (hoop, coathanger, or single pole and wire). Concept illustrations; final design is site-specific.

01 · Flat full canopy

A continuous roof on a tensioned cable grid.

01 · Flat full canopy system side overviewView full-size overview ↗
The complete enclosure. Roof net, side panels and support grid form one system; the opening is an explanatory cutaway.

Support and anchorage. Perimeter poles, internal props and buried anchors perform different roles. Numerical values shown are illustrative references, not project specifications.

02 · Pitched full canopy

Ridges over tree rows, valleys over the inter-row space.

02 · Pitched full canopy system side overviewView full-size overview ↗
The pitched canopy. Longitudinal net ridges sit above the tree rows. Sloping panels lead toward valleys between rows.

Cross-row detail. Ridge and valley positions are shown relative to the trees and aisles. Discharge connections and net opening arrangements require the selected system design.

03 · Hoop-frame tunnel

Smooth curved frames supported on both sides of each row.

03 · Hoop-frame tunnel system side overviewView full-size overview ↗
One row, one tunnel. Smooth polypipe hoops carry netting clear of the fruit trees; longitudinal wires support the net between frames.
03 · Hoop-frame tunnel structural section detailView full-size detail ↗
End view. Side stakes support the hoop ends. There is no central support pole. Net-contact surfaces should remain smooth.

04 · Coathanger-frame tunnel

Broad shoulder frames on a line of central posts.

04 · Coathanger-frame tunnel system side overviewView full-size overview ↗
Central support, broad shoulders. Each post carries a lightweight shoulder frame; longitudinal wires support netting between frames.
04 · Coathanger-frame tunnel structural section detailView full-size detail ↗
Frame detail. The central post and shoulder frame leave the sides free of support posts. Rounded or padded contact points reduce snagging and abrasion.

05 · Single pole & wire

A simple ridge support, with a limitation at the sides.

05 · Single pole & wire system side overviewView full-size overview ↗
The simplest row support. A line of poles holds one wire above the tree canopy; there are no hoops or broad shoulder frames.
05 · Single pole & wire structural section detailView full-size detail ↗
Side-contact risk. Netting can rest against foliage or fruit at the sides. This is a limitation of the simple arrangement, not equivalent protection to a full enclosure.

“Tension is everything. A net installed at the right tension outlasts a loosely hung one by three to five seasons — and protects better from day one.”
