How to Use Blue Shade Net 70%

The blue shade net can be installed over or around a support structure. It can be used as a roof shade, side screen, fence cover, balcony screen, greenhouse cover, parking shade, poultry shade, farm shade, or temporary construction site screen.

For overhead installation, it is recommended to fix the net with a slight slope so water can drain off easily.

Installation Process

Step 1: Measure the Area

Measure the length and width of the area to be covered. Confirm whether the net will be used as a top cover, side cover, fence screen, parking shade, or greenhouse shade.

Step 2: Prepare the Support Frame

Use a firm support structure such as:

• Steel pipes
• Angle bars
• Wooden posts
• Wire rope
• Chain link fence
• Existing pergola or parking frame
• Greenhouse frame

The frame should be strong enough to support the net, especially in windy areas.

Step 3: Cut the Net

Cut the shade net according to the required measurements. Leave extra allowance on the edges for folding, tying, overlapping, or fixing.

Step 4: Position the Net

Place the net on the frame and align it properly before fastening.

Step 5: Fix the Net Securely

Use cable ties, clips, binding wire, hooks, ropes, or nails with washers. Tie the net evenly at regular intervals to prevent sagging.

Step 6: Avoid Overstretching

Pull the net firmly but do not overstretch it. Overstretching may weaken the mesh and cause tearing.

Step 7: Reinforce the Edges

For long-term outdoor use, fold and stitch the edges or use rope edging to prevent tearing from wind pressure.

Step 8: Install With a Slight Slope

For roofing or overhead shade, install with a slight slope so water does not collect on top.

Step 9: Final Inspection

Check corners, fixing points, overlaps, and joints to ensure the shade net is properly secured.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean with water when dusty
• Avoid sharp objects during installation
• Do not overstretch the net
• Check fixing points after strong wind
• Replace loose cable ties or broken ropes
• Reinforce edges for permanent outdoor use
• Store unused pieces in a dry place
