Whether facing hail, rain, extreme heat, or wind, EchoShade’s solutions ensure that crops remain protected, while their commitment to guaranteed workmanship and superior materials is incomparable. Each project is treated with personal care, they value long-lasting client relationships and deliver a hands-on service that sets EchoShade apart.

Types of netting structures

Wynie Hail Structure

EchoShade is known for its exclusive double-pitched hail net design, a revolutionary structure featuring a 45° angle that efficiently sheds accumulated hail and ice. This innovation ensures not only maximum protection, but also long-lasting durability, making it perfect for areas susceptible to severe weather.

Farmers in regions like Badplaas, Nelspruit, and Muden rely on this structure to protect their crops from potential damage, demonstrating its effectiveness across South Africa’s agricultural landscape.

Flatroof Structure

Another popular choice for farmers is EchoShade’s flatroof structure, which combines cost-effectiveness with superior resistance to high winds. Ideal for areas with lower hail activity, this design offers reliable protection without the burden of high maintenance costs. EchoShade enhances this structure with premium materials, such as a galvanised ring anchor for added stability and strength. The introduction of the Echobracket further reinforces the netting, ensuring a durable, long-lasting solution for farmers who need consistent protection for their crops.

Single Pitch Structure

Engineered with a unique 33° angle, the single pitch structure offers farmers peace of mind during stormy conditions. The design allows the structure to open up when hail or ice builds up, efficiently releasing the weight and preventing structural damage. This feature is crucial for maintaining the system’s integrity, reducing the risk of strain or collapse even in extreme weather. With its low maintenance and built for longevity, this structure ensures that farmers can focus on their crops without worrying about frequent repairs.

Virus Nets

EchoShade has also developed virus net houses in partnership with a leading South African brand, specifically designed to protect tomato crops from viruses spread by insects. These virus nets provide an effective barrier while allowing for optimal air circulation and light control, creating a perfect growing environment. By safeguarding crops from pests and environmental stressors, the virus nets help farmers increase yields and maintain healthy plants.

EchoShade’s reputation is built on several key pillars that make them the preferred choice for agricultural netting solutions. They ensure that every project is completed on time with hands-on involvement from the team, which fosters strong, long-term relationships with customers.

EchoShade offers competitive pricing that reflects their expertise, while considering the challenges farmers face today. Their success is rooted in honesty, loyalty, and a commitment to maintaining the highest standards of quality. At EchoShade, they don’t just build protective structures — they build partnerships, ensuring that farmers can focus on growing their crops while EchoShade handles the rest.
