RAISE THE PACK-OUT
An excellent article has recently been posted online on Stock Journal (CLICK HERE for article), outlining the reasons a South Australian Citrus producer has installed 16 hectares of netting. Online version of article Stock Journal website Click Here
TO SUMMARISE:
- increase premium quality fruit for Asian markets
- reduction of wind-blemish on fruit
- some shading benefits (reduction of sun-burn)
Weather stations are showing extra benefits too, reduced water use (via reduced evapotranspiration); or alternatively, larger yields on the same water input.

Success Stories
Mazda Australia Pty Ltd
Mazda Australia has been the leading full line importer of motor vehicles into Australia for nearly a decade. Selling over 100,000 vehicles annually, our business requires multiple vehicle storage and logistic solutions nationally.
To this end Mazda Australia has a requirement that all of our vehicles stored at any of our Vehicle Distribution facilities need to be under a hail net. Mazda has a long term relationship with Netpro and a strong relationship with the local Netpro team headed by Michael Pradella and Justin Murray.
Our new state of the art transport, storage and logistics facility in Pinkenba, Qld was recently developed wth support from the Netpro team. Late last year we again utilised Netpro’s experience to assist with our facility at Port Kembla, NSW which had been impacted by storm activity resulting in significant damage to our existing hail net.
I would have no hesitations in recommending Netpro as a supplier of hail net and Shade cloth protection solutions.
