 Protect Your Future

Protect Your Future with Southern Cross Netting

Protect your investment, secure your future, and shield your profits from the destructive forces of nature.

 

🛡️ Hail Protection

Our specialized hail netting systems are engineered to withstand severe weather events. Choose the right structure for your unique environment and guarantee your canopy is covered.

 

💨 Wind Protection

High winds compromise fruit quantity and quality by accelerating evaporation, fuelling soil erosion, and causing cosmetic blemishes. Wind can also devastate delicate flowers during crop-set. Our heavy-duty windbreaks and enclosed covers deliver total peace of mind.

 

☀️ Sun Protection

Sunburn poses an escalating threat to modern crop yields. Our premium netting covers shield your canopy from intense UV rays, delivering the exact shade profile required for your specific geographic location.

 

💧 Evaporation Control

Watering and irrigation are major operational expenses. By managing wind and heat exposure, our covers drastically reduce evaporation rates, optimize water efficiency, and boost overall productivity.

 

🦅 Pest Control

Keep destructive pests out. Our structures provide an impenetrable barrier against birds, bats, and unwanted wildlife. They also block stray bees from pollinating seedless citrus crops, directly preserving your market value and profits.

    What are the benefits of using netting in orchards?

        Orchard netting provides year-round protection against a range of environmental and biological threats, including birds, bats, insects, hail, wind, and excessive sun exposure. By creating a protective barrier around the crop, netting helps minimise damage, improve fruit quality, and increase overall yields.


        Permanent netting systems offer a range of additional benefits beyond crop protection. They reduce water loss by limiting evaporation, helping to lower irrigation requirements and costs. Netting can also improve light diffusion throughout the orchard, resulting in better fruit colour, consistency, and appearance.


        The sheltered environment created under netting significantly improves spray efficacy. Reduced wind allows for more accurate application, better coverage, and longer retention of sprays on the trees. Netting also helps minimise sunburn and limb rub, reducing losses and improving pack-out quality.


        When combined with protection from hail, birds, and other pests, these benefits make it easier for growers to achieve premium market and export standards.

         

        Ultimately, investing in orchard netting can lead to higher pack-out rates, reduced waste, improved fruit quality, and increased profitability.

    How much does orchard netting cost?

        The cost of orchard netting varies depending on factors such as orchard size, crop type, site conditions, and the style of netting system selected.


        Common netting systems include: 


        Flat Top Systems 

        Quad netting tensioned across a permanent structure, providing maximum protection and durability. Professional installation is typically required.


        Pitched Hail Systems 

        Netting supported by tensioned wires above the row and joined in the valley between rows. These systems can be opened or tied back during pollination or snow events.


        Throw-Over Systems 

        A cost-effective option that uses the trees themselves for support. The netting closely wraps the row and requires manual removal and storage when not in use.


        Our experienced team will assess your crop, location, production goals, and environmental challenges before recommending the most suitable solution.
