Knitted Windbreak Mesh, Green HDPE, Heavy Duty, UV Stabilised, 1m or 2m x 50m Rolls

If you need to take the force out of the wind around crops, stock, nursery beds or an exposed building, this green knitted windbreak mesh is the heavy-duty option. It is knitted from HDPE plastic monofilament, UV stabilised for outdoor exposure, and designed to reduce wind speed by up to 45%. Eyelets run along the top and bottom of every roll, so it fixes straight onto posts or straining wire. It suits farmers, growers, nurseries, allotment holders and fencing contractors. You can buy it in two roll sizes: 1m x 50m and 2m x 50m.

Why it works

Knitted HDPE monofilament

The mesh is knitted from HDPE plastic filaments into a monofilament netting. The result is a tough, durable windbreak, and this is the heavy-duty grade rather than a lightweight garden mesh. It weighs 100g/m².

Filters the wind rather than blocking it

The mesh is designed to reduce wind speeds by up to 45%. It is a netting, so air still passes through and the wind is slowed on the sheltered side. The honest limitation: this is a reduction, not a seal. Expect calmer air behind the mesh, not still air, and do not rely on it as a solid screen or a weatherproof wall.

Eyelets top and bottom

Fixing eyelets are built into the top and bottom edges of each roll. They let you tie the mesh to timber posts or thread it onto straining line wire without punching your own holes, which keeps installation quick and simple.

UV stabilised for long exposure

The netting is UV stabilised, so it is made to stay in place outdoors through the seasons. No service life in years is published for this line, so treat UV stabilisation as protection against sunlight degradation rather than a stated lifespan.

Where it's used

The mesh is used for both temporary and permanent fencing that protects against wind, rain and drifting snow. On farms it is fitted to barn ends, side vents and backdrops, and it is used for livestock screening. Growers use it to protect field crops, container-grown nursery stock, allotments and gardens, and as crop cover. Because it filters as well as shelters, it is also used for dust control and shading. Once it is up, the wind protection is immediate.

Specifications

Choosing the right option

Choose the height by what you are sheltering. The 1m x 50m roll suits low work: rows of crops, nursery beds, allotments and the lower part of a fence or vent. The 2m x 50m roll gives taller shelter for livestock screening, barn ends, side vents and full-height boundary windbreaks. Both rolls are 50m long, so a single roll of either height covers the same length of run; the 2m roll simply carries twice the area and twice the weight.

If you only need light shelter for a small garden, a lighter-weight windbreak mesh may be enough. This knitted mesh is the heavier, tougher choice, intended for exposed sites, permanent runs and agricultural use where a light mesh would not last.

Installation, use & care

Fix the mesh to posts facing the prevailing wind, and plan the line of the run around the direction your worst weather comes from. It can be fixed to timber posts, straining line wire, cladding and other support systems. Use the eyelets top and bottom to tie the mesh in or attach it to straining wire, and keep it taut along the run so it does not flap. A 2m roll at 12kg is manageable for one person to carry, but a second person makes unrolling and fixing a 50m run much easier. Check fixings after high winds and re-tension any slack sections.

FAQ

Will it stop the wind completely?

No. It is designed to reduce wind speeds by up to 45%. Air still passes through the mesh and is slowed on the sheltered side, so expect calmer conditions rather than still air.

What can I fix it to?

Timber posts, straining line wire, cladding and other systems. The eyelets along the top and bottom edges are there for fixing and for attaching to straining wire.

Can it stay up all year?

It is used for permanent as well as temporary windbreaks, and the netting is UV stabilised for outdoor exposure. A service life in years is not published for this line, so inspect it periodically.

Does it give shade as well?

Yes, it offers both wind and shade protection, and shading is one of its listed uses. A shade percentage is not published for this line.
