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
Patrick Autocare
For over 50 years, Patrick Autocare has continued to set the pace in Australia with its integrated service offering of processing, storage and distribution of motor vehicles. Responsible for the transportation of more than one million vehicle movements each year, Patrick Autocare has a storage capacity of 65,000 motor vehicles through on-wharf and off-wharf facilities.
Our operational and market environment dictates that majority of these vehicle storage facilities be protected by hail mesh structures, and in this regard, our very successful and ongoing working relationship with Netpro Commercial Constructions has proven invaluable.
Justin Murray and the Netpro team have been instrumental in working together with Patrick Autocare to develop our national storage facilities, and we have found Netpro’s service and product offering to be industry leading, innovative and professional.
Their consistency in service delivery and after establishment maintenance, has led to Netpro Commercial Constructions being our preferred national supplier of hail mesh requirements over the last 9 years, including all hail mesh works at our major Greenfield development sites across New South Wales, Western Australia, Queensland and Victoria. We have been highly impressed by the new pitched canopy designs constructed at these facilities, in terms of hail load performance and operational efficiencies gained as a result of improved supporting structure designs.
Justin and his team have conducted themselves professionally and safely at all times when operating on our sites, and it is testament to how they run their daily business that this working relationship extends to our operational managers and site teams across the country, whom have an excellent working relationship with all levels of the Netpro team.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Netpro as a supplier.
