Protect your crops. Control your climate. Grow all year round.
We supply durable, UV-treated shadenets for greenhouses, nurseries and open-field farming across all 47 counties in Kenya. Reduce heat stress, control pests and extend your growing season — whatever the weather.
WHY SHADENETS MATTER IN KENYA
Kenya’s climate can be unforgiving on crops — intense sun, unpredictable rainfall, strong winds and pest pressure all threaten yields. Shadenets help farmers take back control of their growing environment by regulating light, temperature and airflow around their crops.
Whether you are raising tender seedlings in a nursery, growing high-value vegetables, or protecting an entire greenhouse structure, the right shadenet reduces plant stress, conserves moisture and creates ideal growing conditions — leading to healthier crops and better yields.
WHAT WE SUPPLY
Nursery Shadenets
Lightweight, high-percentage shade nets designed to protect young seedlings from direct sun and harsh weather during their most vulnerable growth stage.
Greenhouse Shadenets
Nets fitted over or inside greenhouse structures to reduce internal temperatures during hot periods, preventing heat stress and sunscald on crops like tomatoes and capsicum.
Open-Field Shadenets
Larger nets used to cover open-field crops, vegetable gardens and orchards — reducing sun intensity, wind damage and evaporation.
Insect-Proof Net Structures
Fine mesh nets combined with shading properties to physically block pests such as whiteflies, aphids and fruit flies while still allowing light and airflow.
Custom Shade Structures
Fully designed and fitted shade structures for nurseries, demonstration farms, schools and institutions — built to your site dimensions.
SHADE PERCENTAGE GUIDE
Shade Level | Best For |
|---|---|
30% to 40% | Vegetables, herbs, general field crops |
50% | Greenhouse crops, flowering plants |
60% to 75% | Nurseries, seedlings, shade-loving plants |
80% to 90% | Orchid houses, very sensitive seedlings, parking and livestock shade |
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS
Reduce Heat Stress
Shadenets lower temperatures under the canopy, protecting crops from sunscald, wilting and heat-related stress during Kenya’s hottest months
Conserve Moisture
By reducing direct sun exposure, shadenets slow down evaporation from soil and plant leaves — meaning less frequent watering and lower water costs.
Pest Control
Fine mesh shadenets act as a physical barrier against common pests, reducing the need for chemical pesticides and protecting both crops and pollinators.
Wind Protection
Shadenets reduce wind speed around crops, preventing physical damage to delicate plants and reducing moisture loss caused by wind.
UV Stabilised for Durability
Our shadenets are treated to withstand Kenya’s strong sun without degrading, cracking or losing their shade rating — giving you years of reliable protection.
Improves Crop Uniformity
Controlled light levels lead to more even growth, better fruit set and improved overall crop quality.
