WINDBREAK NETS
It is known that the wind when it blows with frequency and intensity can cause sensitive damage to crops or greenhouses , it is therefore necessary, especially in particularly windy areas, to resort to windbreaks.
Utility of windbreak nets:
- Attenuation of mechanical effects of wind.
- Reduction of evaporation and perspiration of water from the soil.
- Reduction of frosts caused by inflows of cold air and consequent savings in the heating of greenhouses.
- Fume retention, harmful exhalation, salt and sand transported by winds.
The optimal net as windbreak barrier is the 50% type, which can protect for a distance of up to 8-10 times its height without creating turbulence and swirls (ex. high barrier 2 mtrs : 16 mtrs protected) If nets are also required to remove salt or other powders, 60 or 70 % thicker nets should be used.
Using networks too thick (ex.90%) is not recommended because they can create, over or downwind, whirlpools that can cause more damage than would have caused the original wind.

CREASING
item CORD
Sewing on the edge of the nets of a cord made of HDPE polyethylene (diam. 4 mm) useful for a secure fastening and to lengthen considerably resistance and durability of windbreak nets.
Mounting tips and accessories

Space between the poles diam. 8/10 cm
– Distance for high poles from 2 to 2.5 meters: about 3 meters
– Distance for poles higher than 3 meters: about 2 meters

Fixing net
In the header poles fix the net by wooden splints or rubber profiles.

ZINC-ALUMINIUM STEEL WIRE
item FI4
Aluminium zinc coated steel wire diam. 4 mm – for ridge wire
1 Kg = 10 mtrs
Strenght: 980 N./ mm²
Average extension 4 – 5 %

Support cables
Place the wires or ropes in the side of the poles facing the prevailing wind at a vertical distance of 40/50 cm. Anchor the terminal poles with another inclined support.

Fixing net
Use a ring clamp to attach the net to the cables, at a distance of about 50 cm between the rings.
This system, in addition to being quick to execute, guarantees an excellent and lasting hold even over the years.
