​

Anti-Hail Nets

Anti-hail nets​ are a protective shield for the crops from harsh winds, hail storms, and birds even. Hailstones can cause significant damage to crops, breaking the plants and stripping off the leaves and fruits.

Anti-hail nets are now extensively being used in agriculture to minimize the effects of the hailstorms and for crop safety. The nets are specially knitted of high-density polyethylene and are UV stabilized to withstand harsh sunlight.

Features of Anti-Hail Nets ● Easy to install ● Lightweight ● UV stabilized ● High strength and durability ● Designed for maximum protection from hail ● The anti-hail nets with their minimal shade factor, allow for natural sunlight and ventilation ● Long-lasting.

Application of Anti-Hail Nets ● Cover on greenhouse ● Orchards ● Vineyards ● They can be used to cover tunnels ● It protects crops from adverse climatic conditions like rain, wind, and even birds. ● Disease and pest control to an extent.

Rockfall Protection ​

The rockfall protection​ products offer safety and security of infrastructure, people, mine works, and buildings. They prevent the rocks and debris from falling over and causing damage to life or property. The Rockfall protective products include Rockfall Drapes, Rockfall Barriers, or Mesh Nets.

Rockfalls usually occur through natural phenomena like climate change, erosion, and heavy rains. The rockfall protection dissipates the energy of the falls and mitigates the severity Features of Rockfall Protection ● Straightforward installation ● High safety standards ● Steel wire mesh that is lightweight with high tensile strength ● Offers protection to life and property ● Can withstand substantial loads traveling with a significant speed ● Low deformation and extremely durable ● Low anchoring force ● Pre-assembled ● Excellent corrosion protection to combat climatic conditions Application of Rockfall Protection ● Areas at natural risks for rockfall and landslides ● Slope Protection ● Rock stabilization
