Shade-net installation in Kenya
Install shade-net structures for a stated purpose.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional shade-net retrofit on an existing professionally approved four-by-six-metre nursery frame. Supply one selected shade specification and a supplier-approved cut panel with attachment allowance; twenty-four square metres is the roof plan area, not necessarily the purchased net area. Crop suitability, wind loads, anchors and frame capacity require competent approval. Do not confuse shade cloth with an insect-exclusion net.
Who is the first customer?
Nurseries and growers requiring specified shading.
Test the offer
Ask a competent supplier to confirm net specification and trial one measured structure.
