Drape Net is manufactured to a strict set of standards, which directly relates to the life and strength of the net.
Drape Net is patented and the unique anti-stretch, anti-shrink, run stop weave holds its shape year after year. It is specifically designed for tree crops using a strong, light, woven net.
Drape Net can be made in a variety of colours, weights and widths. That means it is suitable for almost all tree crops.
As Drape Net is physically draped over the tree it acts as a tree growth regulator, dramatically reducing summer growth, resulting in less pruning.
​
In some tree systems our new patented bullhorns are fitted on trellis posts to let young trees reach their optimal heights.
OUR
PRODUCT
The NetWizz Hi-Lift Swivel Mast Auto Tension machine is partly designed by Drape Net specifically for tree crops. NetWizz runs off a tractors hydraulic system and is attached to the three-point linkages. The NetWizz is a quick way to apply our netting. Drape Net has the sole rights to distribute NetWizz Swivel head around the world.
Drape Net is easily secured on the tree with zip ties, which we can provide at very reasonable prices.
Drape Net can be stored outside with our inexpensive UV and weather resistant system. The black UV treated stretch wrap and multi-use end caps give growers the choice of storing their net outside while not in use, freeing up valuable shed space and labour cost in handling the rolls.
About
Us
Drape Net is a cost effective way of protecting tree crops from hail, birds/bats, sunburn, wind damage and specific insects. It also works as anti-bee netting for seedless citrus.
​
Drape Net was conceived over 15 years ago by a third generation orchardist trying to negate the devastating effects of hail.
​
Our team combines a lifetime of orchard experience with 35 years of expertise in the netting industry, producing a high quality and long lasting product.
​
The best word to describe Drape Net is “simplicity’’ as it is very adaptable and cost effective. Drape Net can be moved and stored very easily.

NIGHTINGALE BROS
Don Nightingale
"Nightingale Bros is using Drape Net for hail, sunburn, bird and fruit bat protection of our apple crops.
​
We started with a small trial block one year and soon realised it was a cost effective way to protect our crops with fantastic results, that we now have 150 hectares covered.
Spray penetration is good and colour is usually not an issue.
Drape Net is a cost effective protection that you can manage with the assistance of three staff members and a Net Whizz machine.
One thing we have learnt is it must be kept off young trees that have not reached height potential.
We couldn’t be happier with the services provided by Michael."
NORQUAY FARM
Warren Waddel
"Thank you so much for your assistance with our orchard netting project. From our very first enquiry to our very last you have been exceptionally helpful.
​
As you know, we were not keen to install overhead structural netting that would appear permanently on the landscape of our roadside property.
​
The Drapenet range of netting and accessories has ensured protection for our crop whilst giving us seasonal options as to its visual impact.
​
Thanks again to you and your team for your generosity and great service."
GAETA & SONS
Guy Gaeta
"This is my first year I have used Drape Net. I believed it was just too time consuming well I was wrong, the benefits waded out the negatives.
​
Bats arrived in town on 2 km from us and I had no worries of damaging my crop, we had 6 weeks of heat wave and Drape Net has done a very good job of protecting my crop from sunburn. It has been my first year that there has been no damage from rosellas and cockatoos and if we would have had hail I'm sure Drape Net would off protected my crop.
I will use Drape Net every year from now on. Regards"
