Side Netting

Fruitzone net, commonly referred to as "side nets" are becoming increasingly popular with American winegrape growers looking to protect valuable winegrapes from hungry birds, while avoiding the hassles sometimes encountered with the use of drape-over nets. While side nets offer clear advantages over drape nets, there are several issues that growers need to overcome in order for side nets to be truly superior to conventional types of nets. Perhaps the biggest obstacle to overcome for the efficient use of side nets is the amount of labor involved when applying/removing them.

Side Vine - Side Vine® is a side-net product, which is ideal for added airflow, allowing increased light to the leaf area of your crop.

SideVine® has a lower row cost than a drapeover product, is quick to install and enables careful trimming and spraying.

APPLICATIONS & MARKETS

Zonenet for the protection of viticultural & horticultural crops, for: Vineyards & Fruit growers

PermaNet - Extremely durable side net. In addition to bird exclusion, PermaNet can also help protect fruit from hail and sunburn damage.

Introducing PermaNet. PermaNet is the perfect choice for growers looking to use side nets while avoiding the costly laborious task of apply/removing nets. PermaNet is an extremely durable, small-meshed net made to withstand the elements encountered while permanently hung on the trellis wires. When using PermaNet, growers only need to install the nets the 1st year of use. Once installed, at time of verasion, growers only need to "roll" down or "lift-up" nets to cover and protect the fruit. At time of harvest, growers simply "roll-up" or gather the nets back to the original trellis wire where it remains until next season.

Additional benefits obtained from the use of PermaNet include the protection from hail, sunburn and the elimination of any need to store nets during the "off-season".

Like all of Spec Trellising's nets, PermaNet is covered by a 10 year pro-rata warranty against UV degradation.

NETLINE NETTING

How it works
Simply using an ATV (or tractor) the Netline Netting machine allows rapid removal of netting from the vines. Approx. 1 hectare / hour. Using readily available, cheap materials, the netting is applied to each side of the vine.

Minimal labour is required, using only 2 or 3 workers (including driver) to attach the netting to a foliage wire above and a dripper wire below the fruiting zone.

Removing the netting only requires one person to drive the tractor (or ATV) for rapid removal with the Netline Netting machine re-spooling the netting ensuring it is ready for the next season.

The Netline machine can also be used for distribution of trellis wire and fencing wire, both ringlok and single wire.

BirdScarer

Introducing the BirdScarer, the ingenious bird-scare device that takes flight to scare away hungry birds. Launched into flight by the wind, the Birdscarer flaps its wings as it darts around the sky, adding both movement and noise to scare away hungry birds. As the wind eases off, a counterweight retracts the line back into the pole, leaving the Birdscarer perched atop it’s pole, eagerly awaiting the next gust of wind.

The Birdscarer is a large black bird shaped kite with a 5' 6" wingspan and 3' 4"in height. It is expertly made for maximum durability and longevity with high quality materials such as nylon Oxford cloth and sparred with a solid fiberglass frame. Reinforcements and connectors are of strong vinyl and seat belt webbing.

Critical to the operation of the Birdscarer is the unique retractable line system. The 45 degree angled PVC top section encloses a 11'6" line which launches the Birdscarer into the wind, The Birdscarer sits upon a 20' steel pole scaring birds by it’s very presence, shape and color.

One Bird Scarer is recommended per 2.5 acres.

Zon Cannons
Zon Cannons have been used to scare pest birds and wildlife away from
agricultural crops and industrial/commercial areas worldwide for over 50 years.

The Zon Mark 4 Propane Cannon provides a single pressure regulated sonic blast to frighten and disorient pest birds & wildlife. The volume of the blast is adjustable from 100 - 125 decibels. Blasts are generated by readily available propane gas. After starting the gas and setting the regulator at the desired blast interval (from ~40 seconds, up to 30 minutes), the Zon will operate unattended. A standard 20 pound propane tank will provide approximately 17,000 detonations.


The Zon comes standard with legs keeping ~1 foot off the ground. One cannon will protect ~1 - 5 acres, depending on the shape and topography of the field.

The optional Zon Tripod Assembly elevates the Zon ~4 feet high and allows it to rotate approximately 60 degrees with the impact of each blast. This protects more acreage since each blast is in a different direction from the last. For taller crops, 1 or 2 Tripod Extension Kits can be added to raise the cannon as much as 4 additional feet	Using the optional Zon Automatic Timer, you can set a daily on/off time. The timer automatically starts and stops operation of the cannon each day at your specified time, and will run a whole season on just one AA battery.
