This is the shade net we supply by the roll, with the rope packed alongside, and for a buyer working out a job that is the useful part: the net is ordered to the run rather than in fixed panels, so a balcony bay and a garden fence run can come off the same roll without leaving a half panel behind. The shade rate is set at the same time, anywhere from thirty to ninety percent, and the knitted HDPE carries UV resistance in the yarn. Sold by the metre or by the roll, cut to the height you give us.
Buying shade net in fixed panels means ordering to the nearest size and living with the offcut, which on a job with several different runs adds up. This is the net we supply by the roll, cut to the height you give us and with the rope packed alongside, so the balcony bay and the garden fence come off the same cloth without a half panel left over.
Ordering by the metre or by the roll suits work where the runs differ: a balcony that steps down, a garden fence that meets a gate, a patio bay between two posts. Each section is cut to its own height from the same cloth instead of being forced to a stock panel size, and what is left over goes onto the next run rather than into the skip. The shade rate is chosen at the same time, so one order can carry a light rate for a planted balcony and a denser one for a boundary that has to screen.
The net goes along a balcony rail, across a patio bay, over a garden fence and around a yard boundary, and because it is cut to size the same roll covers all of them. 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.

Held against the light the knit shows two yarn directions crossing at a close pitch, which is what breaks the view up while still letting air move through, so a screened balcony is not a sealed box. The rope that comes with the roll is there so a long run can be tied and tensioned along its whole edge rather than being fixed at a few points, which is what keeps a wide panel flat. A knitted monofilament net covers the shading job where a finer weave is wanted, while this net covers the shade and privacy work.
Height, roll length, shade rate and colour are all made to order, and the net can be supplied by the metre or by the roll. The first detail to confirm is the length of each run and whether the edges need binding. Net ships in PP woven bags with the rope packed alongside. Buyers tracking how shade net performs across a season can follow trade coverage such as HortiDaily and FreshPlaza for what is being installed.
Can I buy it by the metre?
Yes. It is supplied by the metre or by the roll, cut to the height you give us, so several different runs can come off one order.
Does it come with fixings?
Rope is packed with the roll. A bound edge with eyelets can be added if the net will be tied rather than stapled.
Can I order different rates on one order?
Yes. The shade rate is set per run, so one order can carry a light rate for a planted balcony and a denser one for a boundary. Tell us each run and we will advise.
Tell us the length of each run, what has to grow behind it and the colour you are working to, and we will confirm the roll and the packing that suit your order.
