NETTING POLES

THE BENEFITS OF PROTECTING AGRICULTURAL CROPS WITH NETTING AND TREATED NETTING POLES

As farmers change to intensive produce that offers higher yields and more lucrative profits, many require netting to protect their crops from animals, birds, insects, and other pests. By using netting mounted on treated netting poles, farmers can ensure their produce is fully protected against not only the elements but further unforeseen pests or disasters.

THE BENEFITS OF USING NETTING OVER CROPS:

Protection from harsh weather conditions

Using netting over crops can assist in keeping produce secure during inclement weather and harsher weather conditions. Netting can assist in protecting produce during

• Extreme temperatures, such as heatwaves or cold snaps

• Harsh sunlight

• Frost

• Hailstorms

• Wind

Safety from birds, insects, and animals

Birds, insects, or other animals can prey on produce left exposed. For that reason, establishing a well-netted and secure area can assist in returning a higher yield.

Reduced water and irrigation costs

Netting can successfully create what is called a micro-climate, where water is retained in bedding systems. This means that less evaporation takes place and the area remains more humid. A powerful benefit for farmers using this system is that often water and irrigation costs are vastly decreased.

BENEFITS OF USING TREATED NETTING POLES:

Insect, pest, and fungus resistance

Using eco-friendly treated netting poles, farmers can create an insect-free zone where crops can grow without the influence of common pests. Further, another great benefit is that treated netting poles are resistant to most common types of fungus, reducing the risk of spoiled yields.

Longevity 

Treated netting poles, unlike untreated counterparts, are susceptible to a variety of risks including rot and fungal infection. Treated netting poles can last longer and accordingly reduce maintenance costs.

Eco-friendly design 

Another benefit of using treated netting poles produced by R&B Timber Group is that treated timber does not leak harmful chemicals into the surrounding environment, and similarly do not leave a residue or unpleasant smells that could potentially spoil crop yields.

WHAT CAN BE FARMED UNDER NETTING USING TREATED POLES?

A variety of fruits and vegetables can be grown underneath netting to great effect. Thanks to the eco-friendly benefits of using a netting system mounted on treated netting poles, farmers are able to grow their crops quickly, effectively, and safely.
