INVESTMENTS IN NETTING
The latest publication of Australian Citrus News discussed Netting being a game changer for Citrus farmers in the Riverland.
Investments in netting orchards in the Riverland and in particular the property of Mathew and Sam Lloyd will have an almost instant effect on return on investment.
They advised Australian Citrus News that the three-year-old trees under the net was equivalent to a five-year-old tree, outside Nets under normal conditions, as the trees grow more quickly and to date the quality and yields are looking promising.
Mathew also discussed the lower watering requirements of trees under Nets being a 20% reduction in usage which is a huge cost benefit. The Farm has reduced fruit dumping because of the benefits of netting and are now able to achieve 1st and 2nd grade packouts.
Hail damage was also a consideration for the case for Netting as before Netting they lost close to a million dollars due to a hail storm.

JBS Five Rivers Cattle Feeding
Discovering Net-Pro has been valuable for JBS Five Rivers Cattle Feeding!! As we were considering options to rebuild pens and shade structures this past year, finding a comprehensive solution that fulfilled a wide range of needs for the feed yard seemed almost impossible. Those needs included increased height for airflow & drying, eliminating poles in the middle of the pens to improve pen surface conditions and facilitate cleaning with heavy equipment, and better shade coverage with less material - and read more

Golden Valley Orchards
In 2003, Golden Valley Orchards were offered the opportunity to work with the NCEA (National Centre for Engineering in Agriculture) and NetPro Pty Ltd on a research project evaluating the effectiveness of (among others) NetPro's dam-covers. Renato says of his first impressions of the idea: "Evaporation is a pretty big problem - I thought it was definitely a good idea. The only problem was the expense: the cover cost two hundred thousand but we received a subsidy of eighty thousand." read more

I had the pleasure of dealing with Justin, Michael and the Netpro team during construction of a new facility for Autonexus, in Eagle Farm Queensland. The requirement was for 30,000m2 of hail net installed over two stages. From the very early design and negations to contract management, installation and importantly post construction the staff and contractors were at all times professional and responsive to the specific site challenges that we faced. The project was completed on time, defect period commitments read more

Southern Downs Regional Council
Initially the idea of the net canopy over the landfill was discussed with Netpro as they are a local company and at the time Netpro was considering advancing into this area (protection of landfills). Netpro assisted Council with a very reasonable price which allowed the project to proceed. At the time the landfill site had problems with wind blown litter and a solution to fully prevent this problem was not easy until the canopy was suggested. Following construction of the read more

Magnificent Product
In 2017 I moved from Toowoomba to Geham north of Toowoomba. I set up a temporary shade house for my Clivia collection. During the Winter I had a negative 7°C morning and as a result I lost over 250 plants. I called NetPro in Stanthorpe and spoke to Glenn McRae about options to protect my plants. Glen recommended their Frost Cloth Spun-bonded Polypropylene ("fleece") White, 30gsm (grams per square metre). This year I had a negative 6.5°C and under the read more

Gary and Ursula, Lychees
I'm writing to thank you for your excellent product. We covered our ten year old lychee patch with the Fruit Fly net using steel post/poly pipe tunnels. The result has been extraordinary - the first time we have ever been able to harvest clean, mature fruit from these trees! The feeling under the nets is one of complete peace - protected from all predatory insects and birds. Until now we ate lychees as half-green, tart fruit in order to rescue read more
