Description
This greenhouse garden netting is a shade mesh designed to reduce heat and glare inside greenhouses. It is used to create a more stable growing environment for plants during hot, bright or exposed conditions.
Widely used in both domestic and professional greenhouse setups, it helps manage excess heat and airflow to protect plants during hot, bright or exposed conditions.
How Greenhouse Shade Netting Controls Heat
The mesh filters direct sunlight, lowering peak temperatures while still allowing airflow and essential light for photosynthesis.
By reducing harsh glare, it helps protect seedlings, young plants and established crops from stress caused by sudden weather changes.
Using Shade Netting Inside A Greenhouse
The netting can be fitted internally or externally depending on your greenhouse setup. It can be secured to frames using clips, staples or ties to create shaded roof panels or side sections.
Built-in eyelets allow straightforward fixing along staging, benches or structural supports where targeted shading is needed.
Support Seedlings And Young Plants During Hot Weather
Newly transplanted seedlings and propagation trays are particularly vulnerable to intense sunlight. This netting reduces direct exposure, helping compost retain moisture and preventing rapid drying.
It supports steadier growth during sowing, potting on and early establishment stages.
Greenhouse Climate Support Throughout The Season
In summer, the netting helps limit heat build-up inside the greenhouse. During cooler months, it can reduce wind chill and buffer temperature fluctuations.
This contributes to more consistent growing conditions across changing UK weather.
Additional Uses Beyond Greenhouse Shading
Although primarily used for greenhouse shading, the netting can also serve as a windbreak or light privacy screen in exposed garden areas.
It is strong, reusable and suitable for repeated seasonal use.
How Much Shade Does It Provide?
This netting provides approximately 40% shade, reducing overheating while maintaining sufficient light levels for healthy plant growth.
Airflow remains unrestricted, helping prevent excessive humidity build-up compared to solid covers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can it be installed inside or outside a greenhouse?
Yes. It can be fitted internally for controlled shading or externally for broader sun and reduction.
Will it block too much light?
No. The 40% shade level reduces harsh glare while allowing enough light for healthy plant development.
How long does it last?
With proper fixing and storage, it can be used season after season in typical UK greenhouse conditions.
