You are an inspiration to us here in Africa, just started a farm in Nigeria using your shadenet approach to build 2 500sqm shadenets and here you are going 10 times bigger...I think we need to plan for our next 5000sqm shadenet for 2024 Thanks :)
I am a Kenyan farmer and your videos have inspired me into improving my farming activities. I am currently planning to put one acre of land under shade net to grow vegetables
Good job Panuka Farm and to you the dynamic founder Mr. Bruno Mweemba. Me as a prospective farmer, and i also believe other farmers gained a lot from your educative videos. I must once more say thank you to you and your team. In this light, i will like to request that you please make another video that will give a vivid description of pipe spacing, both length and width. The division of sections for plants in the shade net. Most of us that watched and listened to you dont have the financial strength to hire the company you hired or company of such nature. Therefore we depend on the knowledge you disseminate. Thanks for always educating us. Younand you team are highly appreciated
Fantastic video. Thanks for the thorough coverage and explanations. I gather this is of great value during the hot season. Whats the impact of heavy rains on the net and crops? Could heavy winds not tear the net?
This is a marvel. Just over an entire hectare large. I have a few questions: (1) I would have thought the net roofing would be angled to help easily divert hail when it occurs. Is hail not a major risk or how is it accounted for? (2) Some experts say that large nets face the risk of huge losses from diseases when they hit and recommend several smaller units in place of one large net? Was this ever an issue in your planning? Metal is very expensive compared with wood. What did you find as the advantage of metal despite its high cost?
The issue of diseases is real, but cost effective. You need to know what to plant and in what direction to minimise the issue of all crops being wiped out. Also plant crops that have different diseases patterns
How do you connect the steel cable to the galvanized post? As shown on the video, cable was attached on the top and on the side, i want to buy that specific connector online. Your videos are very educational and inspiring. Thanks! keep up the good work.
When it rains how do you control it ?? How do you pollinate your plants In cases where there's a lot of rain will the nets at the top sink in When it rains does all the rain water go inside??
Hi Sir, your video is so educational, thank you. I have alot of questions concerning the way you set up your farm. Would it be possible to contact you directly?
I love the video, the scaffold are a brilliant idea, if i may ask, how often is plowing needed with this shed and the irrigation is removed correct? Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼👍🏽💯
We hardly plough in here with a big tractor, we use the walking tractor. When we do so, we certainly have to remove the drip lines and bring them back once we are done with land preparations
I am in the American South farming and I have been curious about these net houses for years. I wonder why we don't use them in America in the South. I am debating building one.
It's really all dependent on what you seek to cure. If it's sun intensity and wind, they are spectacular. Also dependent on what you grow. Some crops do not mind the adverse sun and wind
Great job Panuka Farm. Please what will say about using 60% aluminet shade net as I already have the net? Temperature here gets as high as 42 degree Celsius during summer and I intend planting sweet peppers and tomatoes.
Close to $28 per sqm, but all depends of specs. On temperature 🌡, its significant, but also consider impact of direct sun rays and reduction on insects

So nice of you. Hope you have also secured my book

It's great to see farmers progressing with the times. With shade netting you can grow many things in the hottest and dryest time of year.
Great job. All the best! Much love from Ghana.
Watching from Kenya I am inspired ... I have the property, what's left is action. Think I have just gotten the impetus.
Glad you now have the fuel ⛽️. Hooe ypto hear the progress

Glad it was helpful!. It's developed to withstand wind. Rain goes in, minimal impact. We have used similar net which has lasted for years
Thanks, it was very helpful info.
You're welcome!
lovely, thanks for sharing
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job and excellent video! Keep it up! I hope the investment pays off for y'all, looks exceptional!
Thanks so much!

Thanks for the feedback. We do not have hail here in Zambia. The cost would actually be higher as you need higher poles the centre

When it rains how do you control it ??
How do you pollinate your plants
In cases where there's a lot of rain will the nets at the top sink in
When it rains does all the rain water go inside??
Could you share the name where you purchased the net? And why 40% and green net ?
Hi Sir, your video is so educational, thank you. I have alot of questions concerning the way you set up your farm. Would it be possible to contact you directly?
How many meters apart are the poles and what thickness mm are the poles? A fantastic project and your videos are inspirational
It's 5m apart. The pokes are 2mm thickness. Something above 2mm would actually be more ideal
Put in a beehive in the shade net for the pollination.
Well noted, thanks

Very well knowledge,
But some language problem,
How can make net House from bamboo sticks?
I am Indian from jaipur Rajasthan
What is the size of your steel post? Great video! Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing this video❤. How far are each poles separated from each other?
5m apart
Hi, say you planting tomatoes, how do you pollinate then in that shade net
Most of them are self pollinated. But we have openings
Great job Panuka Farm. Please what will say about using 60% aluminet shade net as I already have the net? Temperature here gets as high as 42 degree Celsius during summer and I intend planting sweet peppers and tomatoes.
Sounds great! just note that sweet pepper requires good amount of sunlight so do not block too much
@@panukafarm156 thank you very much for your response. Wish you success in all you do.
How many metres of shednet did you use.? what is the life expectancy of the shednet?
Structure is 120m x 90m x 5m high
🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🤝
Ehat is the distance of every pole to the other sir.thank u
how many km/hr can the shade cloth withstand to wind?
Not sure but this one can withstand quite some harsh ones
How much will it cost me to build a shadenet?
Would you be able to share the cost of constructing such a size shadenet?
Sir, we are a professional company of producing the shade net
How much did it costed share it in Dollars am from malawi
Around 150,000 Zambian Kwacha, convert on internet
Would you reveal the cost? And, what would be the reduction of peak temperature, 10*C?
Close to $28 per sqm, but all depends of specs. On temperature 🌡, its significant, but also consider impact of direct sun rays and reduction on insects
How much is the book in Kwachas Mr. Panuka
It's K450
