Product Information

Full details

The Pegdev Windbreaker Shade Netting is designed for individuals and businesses needing effective outdoor shading and wind protection. Its primary benefit is providing durable, UV-stabilized polyethylene mesh for various applications, from sports fields to greenhouses, offering shade, wind reduction, and reduced heat loss. A potential caveat is its mesh construction, which, while allowing airflow, may not offer complete blockage of very fine dust or debris.

FAQs

What is the primary material of the Pegdev Windbreaker Shade Netting?

It is manufactured from UV-stabilised polyethylene monofilaments, a high-density polyethylene designed for durability and outdoor use.

Can this netting be used to completely block sunlight?

The netting provides shade value and reduces direct sunlight, but its open mesh design allows some light to pass through. It is designed for shade and wind reduction, not complete blackout.

How does it help save energy in greenhouses?

By reducing heat loss during cooler periods, it helps maintain a more stable temperature within the greenhouse, potentially lowering the need for artificial heating.

What kind of applications is this netting best suited for?

It is ideal for sports fields, tennis courts, dog fields, music events, greenhouses, polytunnels, crop protection, livestock shade, and general outdoor barriers.

Is the netting waterproof?

No, the open mesh design allows for airflow and is not designed to be waterproof.

How should I clean the netting?

Clean with water and a mild detergent using a soft cloth or brush. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely.

What does UV-stabilised mean for this product?

UV-stabilised means the material has been treated to resist degradation from prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, extending its lifespan outdoors.

Troubleshooting

Netting is sagging or not taut

Ensure all fastening points are securely attached and consider adding more anchor points. Re-tension the netting and re-secure.

Wind is still affecting the area significantly

Verify the netting is installed correctly to block the prevailing wind direction. Ensure there are no large gaps or loose sections where wind can penetrate.

Fraying at the edges

If edges are fraying, carefully trim any loose threads and consider reinforcing the edges with tape or stitching if possible, though this is uncommon with proper installation.

Reduced airflow observed

Check for debris or dirt buildup on the mesh. Clean the netting gently with water and a mild soap, rinsing thoroughly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and UV-stabilized for long-lasting use
  • Provides effective wind reduction and shade
  • Helps reduce heat loss in greenhouses, saving energy
  • Versatile for a wide range of outdoor applications
  • Promotes airflow while offering protection

Cons

  • Mesh design may not block very fine dust or debris
  • Color may fade over extended extreme UV exposure (though stabilized)
  • Requires proper installation for maximum effectiveness
  • Not designed as a complete waterproof barrier

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup typically involves securing the netting tautly using appropriate fasteners such as grommets, ties, or clamps to poles, fences, or existing structures. Ensure it is well-anchored to withstand wind. The netting is compatible with most standard outdoor installation systems. For care, regularly inspect the netting for any signs of wear or damage. Clean the netting periodically with water and a mild detergent if necessary; avoid abrasive cleaners. Allow it to dry completely before re-securing. Store in a dry place when not in use for extended periods to prolong its lifespan.
