LIVESTOCK PROTECTION CANOPIES
The innovative Shade System design uses a network of tensioned wire-rope cables running in opposite directions, creating an overhead grid pattern. This allows “ blocks” of shade to be installed in almost infinitely variable combinations, which can be particularly helpful when feedlot pens are aligned in less than ideal directions relative to the sun’s path, or where there are pens of inconsistent size and shape.
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 of course this needed to be a more cost effective solution than traditional shade designs.
Fortunately while visiting some yards in Australia we discovered the Net-Pro technology. Very quickly we were in contact with the Net-Pro team and arranged a visit to our facilities in the U.S — the rest is history. We recently completed a 16k head renovation using their technology, materials, and expertise. The Net Pro team provided flawless service designing the shade structure, bidding the project, and coordinating delivery of materials. In addition they spent a month on-site assisting and training our team and were a joy to work with!
I’m excited about this discovery and JBS is sold on the quality, functionality, service and value of this company and their technology and would highly recommend them to other cattle feeding entities!
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 important outcome we sought was the provision of shade without the associated increase in pen maintenance costs. The NetPro product provides adequate shade with manageable pen maintenance. (We also have iron shade structures on site, so we can compare the two types very easily). The main advantage of the Netpro shade is that rain is evenly distributed.
