Shade Netting - RAINBOW - 80% (3Mx50M) 120GSM

The 80% shade factor blocks four-fifths of direct light, focusing its primary uses on ambient cooling, intense solar blocking, privacy, and dust control.

The 80% 120GSM Shade Net (3m x 50m) sits at the perfect sweet spot for multi-purpose usage in South Africa. It strikes an ideal balance between heavy-duty physical strength, reliable solar shielding, and cost-efficient installation.

Key Specifications & Benefits

80% Shade Rating: Blocks out 80% of direct sun rays, making it ideal for nurseries, carports, livestock shelters, and privacy screening.

Lock-Stitch Knit: A lock-stitch pattern is used to prevent fraying and unravelling when cut or punctured.

Air & Water Permeable: The breathable mesh design allows rain and natural ventilation to pass through seamlessly, preventing water pooling.

UV Stabilized: Chemically treated to withstand harsh sunlight degradation without becoming brittle over time.

HDPE Benefits

UV Resistance: Raw HDPE is blended with chemical UV stabilizers during production. This prevents the harsh South African sun from breaking down the plastic, ensuring it does not become brittle or fade quickly.

Extreme Durability: HDPE is highly resistant to rot, mildew, mold, and environmental acids. It will not degrade when exposed to constant rain, agricultural chemicals, or bird droppings.

Lightweight Strength:Despite being incredibly strong and puncture-resistant, HDPE is highly flexible and lightweight. This makes it easy to handle, transport, and tension across large frameworks.

Moisture Proof: The material does not absorb water. This ensures the netting does not gain heavy water weight during a downpour, preventing structural sagging or collapse.

Why GSM Matters for Your Installation

1. Wind Resistance: A higher GSM can handle stronger wind loads (like Gauteng thunderstorms or Cape coastal winds) without ripping away from its cable ties or clips.

2. Lifespan: More grams per square metre means there is physically more plastic material and UV stabilizer in the weave, allowing it to survive more years under the harsh South African sun.

3. Stretch:120GSM gives you enough material density to pull the net tight and eliminate sagging, while still being light enough to install without specialized industrial tensioning equipment.
