An anti-hail net is a physical protective barrier, typically made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), installed above crops to shield them from hail, preventing physical damage, fruit drop, and significant economic losses. Beyond hail protection, these UV-stabilized, durable nets also mitigate sunburn, provide proper aeration, and can even deter larger pests and birds. The nets form a protective canopy, allowing sunlight and air to pass through while deflecting hailstones.
