# HDPE Anti-Hail Nets for Apple Orchards

> White and crystal UV-stabilised HDPE hail netting protects apples and pears from hail and sunburn while keeping light levels high for fruit colour.

**Summary:** One storm can wipe out a season. White HDPE anti-hail nets, cut to row width with reinforced edges, intercept hail while keeping light for red-apple colouring.

## The challenge

Apple and pear growers in hail-prone regions face total crop losses from a single storm, plus bruised fruit downgraded to juice. Nets must stop hail without darkening the canopy so much that fruit colour and sugar content suffer.

## The specification

- **Material:** virgin, UV-stabilised **HDPE monofilament**.
- **Colour:** **white or crystal** for minimal light loss; black for hot, high-sun regions.
- **Format:** widths matched to row spacing, cut to length; reinforced edges and eyelets on request.
- **Systems:** suitable for flat overhead, single-row drape and hood installations.

## Why it works

1. **Hail interception** — hailstones lose energy on the net and roll into alleys.
2. **Light preserved** — white and crystal nets reduce light loss for better colour on red varieties.
3. **Secondary benefits** — reduced sunburn, wind damage and, in enclosed systems, birds.
4. **Long service** — UV-stabilised HDPE stays flexible through many seasons.
