Why Greenhouse ventilation nets
The need for ventilation is to ensure that optimum temperature and growth conditions are available for proper yield. While enhancing good growth conditions, ventilation ensures less evaporation and prevents insects are kept away.
Ventilation spaces are normally on the rooftop or on the side walls depending on the design and orientation of the greenhouse structure.
Which Nets to Use for Ventilation
You can use either insect or shade nets to cover your ventilation spaces. Both works better as temperature regulators with air spaces that allow air exchange. They are both made of UV treated HDPE materials and can function for a long time.
What is the Difference: Insect Nets and Shade nets
Insect nets strictly prevent insects and pests from your greenhouse and shade houses. Both can work as Ventilation nettings in your greenhouse structures.
However, shade nets may not keep away all insects since their mesh levels start from a bigger mesh size than that of insect nets.
