Shade net percentage tells you how much direct sunlight the mesh blocks. Choosing too little leaves crops exposed to heat stress; choosing too much can starve light-hungry plants. Here is a simple way to decide.
30% — Light Shade
Best for herbs, delicate ornamentals and crops that only need gentle sun-scorch protection in hot lowland areas. See our 30% shade net page.
50% — Standard Shade
The most common choice for general vegetable production, nursery beds and car parks. See our 50% shade net page.
75% — Heavy Shade
Used for high-value seedling propagation, coffee seedlings and heat-sensitive crops like strawberries. See our 75% shade net page.
90% — Deep Shade
For structures needing near-total sun blocking — car parking shades, outdoor seating and livestock housing in very hot regions. See our 90% shade net page.
