Patent-REGISTERED Hail Protection System - designed to SHELTER vineyards against future climate challenges
Our Hail Protection System combines intelligent engineering with superior materials to support sustainable vineyard management in a rapidly changing environment.
The new innovation from BRAIDED combines two decisive advantages that clearly differentiate it from conventional hail nets: preinstalled cords in the patented loop-system simplify installation and the superior, long-lasting polyester material increases the lifetime in the vineyard.
Crafted with a unique knitted structure, our hail net now incorporates loops every 20-40 cm at the top and bottom. These loops allow for the integration of two technical pre-installed cords, supplied with the net, which run through the loops at both ends for superior tensioning in a horizontal orientation. This innovative feature not only ensures a secure fit over your vineyard but also facilitates easy adjustments and maintenance.
The technology of our netting system is patent-registered, demonstrating its unique functionality and our commitment to leading-edge solutions. The flexibility of this system extends to various applications by simply altering the mesh pattern. This versatility allows for different uses, such as shading, bird protection, and more.
The system is designed for convenience, requiring only our specialized spacers at the base and at the top and your usual tension accessories on both extremities. While securely fixed, the net can be easily retracted for routine vineyard activities and mechanized harvesting. The system can be delivered with specialized receivers and spacers that are compatible with both iron and wooden stake models, ensuring versatility across different vineyard set- ups.
Key advantages:
- Superior material for long-term performance:
Unlike most competing systems made from polypropylene foil or plastic nets, the BRAIDED Hail Protection System is produced from high-tenacity polyester. Tensile strength tests by an independent laboratory confirm that this combination results in exceptional durability. - Faster installation and easy removal:
The system is designed for quick and easy setup with minimal labor. Customizable components fit your specific stake types, streamlining the installation process. - Labour and cost savings:
Significantly reduces the need for manual labor like trellising and canopy management and facilitates machinery access. - Reduced environmental impact:
Offers superior protection against weather elements, contributing positively to soil health and local biodiversity.
