Hailstorm losses devastate Indian fruit farmers every year — apple orchards in Himachal Pradesh, vineyards in Nashik, mango farms in Andhra Pradesh. Anti-hail HDPE nets are the proven insurance against crop loss.
How Anti-Hail Nets Work
Diamond-woven HDPE mesh absorbs and deflects hail kinetic energy before it reaches the canopy. Tests show 95–98% hail exclusion for hailstone diameters under 30mm — which account for 95% of damaging hail events in India.
