Robust system for rain sensitive fruit

ANTI-RAIN COVER

Anti-rain covers are made from a woven cloth that is then made water proof with a plastic layer coating the film. This high quality cover forms a crucial component of this extremely durable system to protect rain sensitive fruit from damage.

 

Manufactured by Valente in Italy, with a reputation for quality and clever design, this system is industry leading. Prestressed concrete poles are connected by steel cables and wires. Anti-rain covers are reinforced by placing poles closer together and anchoring them to the ground. Hoods are designed with a galvanized steel strip, for firm connection to the pole. 

​

These rain covers are proven to protect sensitive crops for an affordable, low maintenance system that lasts more than a lifetime. Easily combine with anti-hail net for maximum protection.
