Shadenetting is made from high density polyethylene incorporating the latest UV inhibitors developed to resist UV degradation caused by the sun's harmful rays.

Most of the netting is made up of fire retardant fabric, which has been approved and certified for the NFPA 701 and the California State Fire Marshall Title for small and large flame tests. It can be supplied stentered or standard, and normally comes with an eight year manufacturer's warranty against UV degradation.

UPF - What does it mean?
The UPF rating indicates how effective a fabric is at blocking out solar ultraviolet radiation. UPF ratings range from 15 to 50 with higher ratings indicating more effective blocking and therefore better protection from the fabric. Fabrics that test higher than UPF 50 are rated as UPF 50+.

UPF testing involves exposing a fabric to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and measuring how much is transmitted through the sample. Different wavelengths of radiation in the UVR spectrum have different effects on human skin and this is taken into consideration when calculating the UPF rating.

Factors that contribute to the UPF rating of a fabric are:

• Composition of the yarns (cotton, polyester, etc)
  
• Tightness of the weave or knit (tighter improves the rating)
  
• Colour (darker colours are generally better)
  
• Stretch (more stretch lowers the rating)
  
• Moisture (many fabrics have lower ratings when wet)
  
• Condition (worn and faded fabrics may have reduced ratings)
  
• Finishing (some fabrics are treated with UV absorbing chemicals)
