Design & materials
Every structure starts in our drawing office, designed to your exact specification, and is built with quality materials made in South Africa.
Our process
We survey the block, then our draughtsman designs the structure for your crop, slope and weather risk.
Poles go in 600 mm deep so they can't lift. Anchors are buried 1.5 m deep at 45°.
Galvanised staywire for anchor and roof cables, tensioned to carry the net and a hail load.
Net is wired and hog-ringed to the cables, ready for the season.
Materials
Pole lift in the middle of a field is one of the leading causes of structural failure. So we set every pole 600 mm deep and anchor the edges to 8 tons.
| Anchors | 16 mm galvanised round bar and a 250 mm × 1.8 m log, buried 1.5 m deep at 45°. Holds a force of 8 tons. |
|---|---|
| Anchor cables | 10 mm staywire, attached to the anchor with a vineline guide grip rated to 5.5 tons. |
| Roof cables | 6 mm or 8 mm staywire depending on the span of the field, rated 2.5–4.5 tons. |
| Net wiring | 2.24 mm fully galvanised wire threaded into the net, fixed to the staywire with 23 mm hog rings. |
| Poles | Creosote poles treated to H5, with a lifespan of 15–20 years. CCA-treated poles if you prefer. Outside poles 150–175 mm, inside poles 100–125 mm, all planted 600 mm deep so they don't lift. |
| Netting | From South African net manufacturers with a proven track record, at the front of new, scientifically designed products. |
Protection against
We design each net house for the risks on your farm: hail, extreme wind, heat waves and frost.
Strong cables and anchors carry the weight of hail sitting on the net.
Deep-set poles and anchors at 45° keep the structure steady in storms.
The right net and shade level evens out the extremes for your crop.
