SmartNet

SmartNet Vendor Logo

Smart Net Systems provides services and supplies for the agriculture, fishing, golf course, and aquaculture industries' individual netting needs. Smart Net Systems participated in the commercial fishing industry for 28 years before branching into the service industry.

Using netting to protect your crops from bird predation, insects, or hail damage is the most effective and environmentally responsible method for reducing crop damage or loss.

Using crop protection netting will result in a huge return on your investment through increased crop yield and allowing fruit and berries to reach their optimum ripeness and sugar contents.

In many cases, your amortization costs are recovered in the first year of use. Using proper handling and installation practices you can expect about ten years of life on your netting.

We use only high-density UV protected polyethylene netting for the agriculture nets we supply.  There are many types of UV inhibitors and these will affect the longevity of your netting. Our UV inhibitors are of the highest quality, and manufactured in Europe.

Advantages of using polyethylene materials:

  • It has the longest life over any of the other materials used for netting.
  • It will not rot.
  • Very low shrinkage, no expansion, and not affected by humidity.
  • Much lighter weight than nylon or polyester.
  • Floats on water.
  • In polyethylene, the UV protection is injected before extrusion of the filaments and is chemically bonded.
  • In comparison: nylon or polyester is UV coated after manufacturing, and this is the first thing to wear off, exposing the netting to UV rays. Nylon will break down quickly; and will expand and contract with the changes in humidity.
