This is the balcony shade net we supply with the fixings already in the pack, and that is the part that saves a job: the zip ties and the rope arrive with the net, so the cover goes on the same day it lands instead of waiting on a hardware trip for the right ties. The cloth is knitted HDPE with the UV stabiliser in the yarn rather than coated on top, and it is made to order in a range of colours so a balcony or a garden screen can be matched to the wall or the fence behind it.
A shade net is a small purchase that stalls on a small detail: the ties. This is the balcony shade net we supply with the zip ties and the rope already in the pack, so the cover goes up the same day it arrives instead of waiting on a trip for the right fixings.
Zip ties and rope cover the two ways a screen like this is normally fixed. The ties are what most balcony rails and garden frames get, because they need no drilling and no tools, and they can be cut and replaced when a rail has to be accessed. The rope is for runs that have to be tensioned rather than clipped, where the panel is laced along its edge so the load is spread instead of hanging off a few points. Having both in the box means the same order suits a balcony rail and a garden frame without a second purchase.
The net goes along a balcony rail, over a garden bed, across a carport opening and under a pergola, and because it is cut to the height you give us, one order covers a balcony and a longer garden run from the same cloth. Households setting trays under the same net often pair it with a planting bag, and the wider shade net range covers the reflective grades where a heat reflective cover is wanted instead.

The stabiliser is worked into the HDPE before the yarn is drawn, rather than applied over a finished cloth, which is what stops a cover going brittle at the fold and pale on the face across a season outdoors. Colour is set when the order is placed, which matters on a balcony or a garden screen because the cover sits against a wall or a fence and a close match stops it drawing the eye. A knitted monofilament net covers the shading job where a finer weave is wanted, while this net covers the balcony and garden shade work.
Height, roll length, shade rate and colour are all made to order, so the first detail to confirm is the span you are covering and whether it will be tied or tensioned. Net ships in PP woven bags with the ties and rope packed alongside. Buyers tracking how shade net performs outdoors can follow trade coverage such as HortiDaily and FreshPlaza for what is being installed.
Does it come with fixings?
Yes. Zip ties and rope are packed with the net, so it can be fitted without a separate hardware purchase.
Can I order a colour to match a wall or fence?
Yes. Colour is made to order, in solids and stripes. Tell us what it sits against and we will advise.
Can I order a different height, run or shade rate?
Yes. Height, roll length, shade rate and colour are all made to order.
Tell us the span you are covering, whether it will be tied or tensioned and the colour you are working to, and we will confirm the roll and the packing that suit your order.
