Mikroclima knitted polythelene crop cover is incredibly versatile and is used to promote yield while protecting crops and plants from frost, heavy rain, hail, cool winds, flying insects and birds. 2m - 16m wide.

Commercial Growers use Mikroclima directly on many crops - such as winter lettuce, silverbeet and radish to protect from cold weather and birds, to shorten time until harvest and to extend the growing season.

Frames or cloches can be used to raise the cover over more valuable crops such as peppers, melons and grond tomatoes. Because Mikroclima is permeable to air and water, and because Mikroclima retains its strength when wet, it is ideal for use as a cloche cover. Polynet supplies a range of Fibreglass Rods designed for this purpose.

Other uses include as a thermal blanket installed in a tunnel or glasshouse to slow down heat loss reduce condensation and increase frost protection, or to cover seed raising beds to retain heat and moisture.

Tunnet is a cover very similar to Mikroclima, but it is heavier and stronger, more suitable for covering larger semi-permanent structures.

Available in rolls: 2m x 100m, 4m x 100m, 6m x 50m and 8m x 50m.
Tunnet is also available in cut lengths 2m, 4m or 8m wide. The Maxi-Cloche is a new support system using Tunnet cover and fibreglass rods to protect a larger area with raised crop protection.
