IMPRESSIVE OUTCOMES
EXTENSIVE TRIALS
“Continued observations and crop monitoring at two South Australian netted orchard trial sites at Loxton (apples) and Pyap (citrus) suggest there are numerous benefits to investing in permanent netting of tree crops. These benefits extend well beyond traditional crop protection benefits.
Information and data being gathered include the effect netting has on mitigating hail damage, the incidence and effect of frost events, canopy structure and leaf area, fruitfulness, fruit quality and grade by variety. These monitored outcomes are being measured against crop water use, nutrient inputs and the efficacy of integrated pest management (IPM).
As the project progresses, the summary findings are enabling the development of cost-benefit analyses that consider the worth of the system against the total cost of investment in the netting infrastructure.”

Success Stories
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

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

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

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

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
