Purpose of the tool

The purpose of using fixed insect nets is to prevent insects from entering, but they are also useful in terms of keeping larger airborne contaminants, such as feathers, hairs and tree leaves, out of the greenhouse. The fixed insect net offers 99% protection against both flying and crawling insects, and maximum protection against mosquitoes

 
 

 

 

Installation method and cost

- Very easy to attach to a support structure (e.g. foil tent poles) or simply lay it on the developed vegetable bed. For fixing and sealing, it is best to put a little earth on the ends. This allows us to open it easily when needed and guarantees that insects cannot enter. Installation cost can be included in the greenhouse building costs.
