Rain-cover netting for cherry orchards
Sheds rain from cherries and reduces splitting near harvest. We manufacture the net to size; it is fitted on your structure.
EU
Rain on ripe cherries causes the fruit to split (cracking), losing commercial value within hours. Rain-cover netting acts as a canopy that sheds water away from the tree line and reduces that damage while letting air through. At Textil Villa de Pego we manufacture the fabric to measure since 1949; it is fitted as a canopy over the row, on your existing structure. We supply the net, not the structure.
Advantages for your crop
Reduces splitting
Sheds rain away from the ripening fruit, helping avoid cherry cracking near harvest.
A ventilated cover
Protects from water while keeping air moving, unlike a closed plastic film.
Made to measure
We cut and make up the cover to the width and length of your rows, on the existing structure.
Deployed at ripening
Fitted as the cherries begin to ripen and gathered in after harvest.
How it is fitted
The rain-cover net is drawn as a pitched canopy over the cherry row, so rain runs off away from the fruiting zone without blocking the air. It is deployed at ripening and gathered in after harvest. It is fixed on posts and cables with accessories that do not cut the fabric. We manufacture panels to the size of your rows, reinforced at the anchor points.
Frequently asked questions
Do you install the net?
No. We manufacture and supply the net made to measure; fitting it as a canopy on your structure is done by you or your installer. We advise on sizing and fixing.
Do you also sell the structure?
No. We sell the fabric (the net). The post-and-cable structure is provided by the grower; our net adapts to the one you already have.
Is it the same as a plastic film?
No. It is a net that sheds rain while keeping ventilation, avoiding the condensation and overheating of a closed plastic cover.
Is it made to measure?
Yes. We cut and make up the cover to the width and length of your cherry rows.
Other applications
We manufacture made-to-measure netting for many other crops and uses.
