Detailed Advantages for Your Application
Greenhouse Ventilation: Proper air circulation is critical to prevent fungal diseases and heat stress. Our 48-mesh screening allows free air exchange while blocking insect entry. It can be installed on side vents, roof vents, and intake fans to maintain a pest-free environment.
Agricultural Pest Control: In open fields or high tunnels, this screening acts as a physical barrier to reduce crop damage from insects. It is especially effective against small pests like thrips and whiteflies. By using this netting, you can significantly cut down on chemical pesticide applications, leading to safer produce and lower input costs.
Long-Lasting Performance: PET material is inherently resistant to moisture, mildew, and most agricultural chemicals. The mesh is woven with precision to maintain consistent opening size over time. With proper installation and care, the screening can last 3–5 years or more, depending on environmental conditions.
Ease of Handling: The screening is supplied in rolls, making it convenient to transport and store. It can be cut with simple scissors or utility knives. For greenhouse frames, we recommend using aluminum or steel channels with spline for a secure fit. Alternatively, it can be stapled or clamped directly onto wooden frames.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What is the exact mesh opening of 48-mesh PET screening?
The 48-mesh refers to 48 threads per inch, resulting in a mesh opening of approximately 0.297 mm (297 microns). This size is effective against most common greenhouse pests while allowing good airflow. -
Can this screening be used outdoors in direct sunlight?
Yes, the standard PET material has good UV resistance. For prolonged outdoor exposure in high-UV areas, we recommend our enhanced UV-stabilized version, which can be specified at order. -
How do I install the screening on a greenhouse vent?
The screening can be cut to size and attached using various methods: spline and channel system, staples, or adhesive tape. For best results, we recommend a tensioned frame to prevent sagging. -
Is this product safe for beneficial insects like bees and ladybugs?
The 48-mesh opening is small enough to block most pests but may also exclude some beneficial insects if they are larger than 0.3mm. However, for pollination purposes, you can open the screening temporarily or use a larger mesh in specific areas. -
What colors are available and do they affect performance?
Standard colors are white, black, and green. Black mesh offers better light reduction for shade-loving crops, while white provides maximum light transmission. Custom colors are available upon request. -
Can I order a sample before bulk purchase?
Absolutely. We provide free samples (shipping cost may apply) so you can test the quality and suitability for your application. Please contact our sales team with your requirements. -
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQ depends on the width and color. For standard sizes (1.5m width x 20m length), the MOQ is typically 100 rolls. For custom specifications, we can discuss smaller quantities. -
How long does shipping take to my country?
Shipping time varies by destination. For example, to North America via sea freight, it takes about 25–35 days. We also offer express shipping for urgent orders. We will provide a tracking number once shipped.
