Black or White netting – what are the deciding factors?
There the two main factors to consider in your decision: • Shade Factor • Aesthetics The shade factor becomes more important in nets of tighter weave (smaller holes). For bird-net, it is not significant, and other factors like aesthetics become more dominant. Generally, black net will provide heavier shade or cut out more light than white net will. White net can bounce light around underneath due to its higher reflective nature. Aesthetics become important when you live in suburbia, or when your nets will be visible to you or your neighbours on a regular basis. Black net tends to merge into the vegetation better, and will be less visible. White nets stand out; and while some people like this, others definitely do not. Both black and white nets are covered by the 10 year pro-rata UV warranty.
