This is the shade net we supply in custom size on a thickened cloth, and the two go together: a heavier grade is what makes a made-to-measure cover worth ordering, because the panel holds its shape across a wider span instead of sagging in the middle and the edges carry the strain where it is tied. Buyers give us the height and the run, and the net is knitted and cut to suit rather than trimmed from a stock panel. The HDPE yarn carries UV resistance, so a made-to-measure panel keeps its colour.
Most shade net is bought off a stock size and trimmed to fit, which is where a cover starts to look like a compromise: an edge cut short leaves a gap and an edge cut long has to be folded back. This one is the opposite. The net is knitted and cut to the height and run you give us, on a thickened grade that holds its shape across a wider span.
Custom size matters most where the opening is fixed: a balcony rail that stops short of a corner, a patio bay between two posts, a garden boundary that steps with the ground. Rather than working from a stock panel and living with the leftover, the panel is knitted to the height and length you specify, so the edge lands where the fixing is and the cover runs straight instead of being folded back on itself. The grommet positions are set at the same time, so the fixing points land on the posts rather than wherever the spacing happens to fall.
The net goes along a balcony rail, across a patio bay, over a garden boundary and around a yard, and because it is cut to size, one order can cover several different openings from the same cloth. Households screening a bed behind 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.

A thicker cloth is what lets a made-to-measure panel work across a wide opening. It resists stretching between fixing points, so the cover does not belly in the middle of a long rail, and it carries the load at the edges where the net is tied rather than pulling out of shape at the corners. That combination, an exact size on a heavier grade, is what a fixed opening actually needs, and it is the difference between a cover that looks fitted and one that looks adapted. A knitted monofilament net covers the shading job where a lighter weave is wanted, while this net covers the shade and privacy work.
Size, shade rate, colour and grommet positions are all made to order, so the first detail to confirm is the height and the run of each opening and where the posts sit. Net ships in PP woven bags. Buyers tracking how shade net performs across a season can follow trade coverage such as HortiDaily and FreshPlaza for what is being installed.
Can the net be made to my exact size?
Yes. Give us the height and the run of the opening and the net is knitted and cut to suit, with the grommets set to your fixing points.
Why a thickened grade?
A heavier cloth resists stretching between fixing points, so a made-to-measure panel does not belly in the middle of a long rail.
Can I order different openings on one order?
Yes. Several openings can be cut from the same cloth, each to its own size. Tell us the dimensions and we will advise.
Tell us the height and run of each opening and where the posts sit, and we will confirm the size and the packing that suit your order.
