Insulnet is a UV stabilised clear knitted thermal control fabric. It is designed to protect plants from heavy rain, hail, pests and light frosts. Insulnet is permeable to air and water and thus allows rainwater to travel through it and irrigate the plants below. A permeable textile will also allow the protected zone of the plant to "breathe”, reducing intense heat and humidity beneath the Insulnet canopy. Insulnet is very often used to cover small tunnels or cloche systems, or alternatively it is draped directly over larger plants and trees. Insulnet is layed directly over turf / lawn areas to protect the young growth and promote propagation. This fabric is tough enough to be handled when heavy with dew or rain.
