SHADE PROTECTION

Moveable aluminium screens from Svensson reduce plant temperature by up to 12°C and reduce pot and water temperatures.

Regular shade houses "kill an ant with a shot gun". If you want to shade your plants for four (4) hours (l0am- 2pm) daily, the answer is not to cover them for all of the other 20 hours. If you do, photosynthesis is down by at least 50% and growth slows by up to 20%. The results with Svensson screens are hardier, healthier plants.

FROST PROTECTION

At night, the aluminium reflects radiation back to your crop protecting it from light frost by up to 6°C.

All Svensson screens are guaranteed for 5 years against UV and tried and tested all over the world. Growers can expect to get up to 8 years of benefits and many growers get an investment payback within 2 years.

The moveable screens, shown left in the closed and opened position, can be installed on simple pipe frames or with spans of 8.0 x 4.0m on 'C' sections. The drive systems are either by cable or rack and pinion.
