PREVENTING NET DAMAGE
FRAME GUARD TAPE
Creating a protective canopy in the garden, can be a lot of fun, and certainly satisfying. Knowing you are protecting your latest seasons crops. When installing your net over timber, metal, or black poly-pipe, you will need a roll of Frame Guard tape.
The tape will protect the fine netting from wear due to rubbing on the frame and from melting in the heat. Heat in the Australian summer is extremely harsh and when the poly pipe heats up, and being black, retains heat, the net can melt.
Frame guard will ensure the surface of the net is kept off the pipe and other framing materials.
Many home gardeners have adopted the poly pipe structure for their garden beds and young fruit trees. Ideally using frame guard, will provide protection the net requires to last the warranty of the product.
The retail catalogue is on the website with current pricing.

Success Stories
Prixcar Victoria
Prixcar recently engaged Netpro Canopies to install our latest hail netting canopy in Altona Victoria. Netpro installed one of their Flat UB3 canopies which is performing very well. We found the team at Netpro to be extremely professional and obliging, they worked in well with our operations and endeavoured to make sure all our requirements were met.

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

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

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

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

Sandalwood Feedlot Pty Ltd
We liked the product NetPro offered, quality was our main criteria. The option of wooden posts was an important feature because of the highly-corrosive conditions in the feedlot environment. We were able to work through the construction plan and the materials options during the quoting process. After construction was completed, we had a couple of small issues, which NetPro worked through with us – the backup service was very good, and we are really happy with the result. The most read more
