Wind Break Net
A coastal vineyard, a high-altitude tree nursery and a Mediterranean greenhouse don’t share the same wind problem, but they share the same solution. A wind break net doesn’t kill the wind; it tames it. Cutting wind speed by 60–70% behind the screen preserves the crop without creating turbulence eddies on the leeward side.
The figure the industry has settled on is 40% porosity: 40% of the wind passes through, 60% is intercepted. Filesan’s windbreak net is woven dense enough to deliver that ratio while staying mechanically strong under sustained gusts.
Where it is used
- Greenhouse exterior walls. A side-wall windbreak preserves vent airflow while shielding crops from constant pressure.
- Open-field vegetables and tree nurseries. Lettuce, cabbage and transplants protected from desiccating wind.
- Animal pens, golf and tennis courts. Combined wind shield and visual barrier.
- Construction site dust screens. Urban renovation projects use orange windbreak as a particulate barrier.
- Coastal orchards. Windrows in olive, fig and citrus blocks reduce trunk abrasion.
Specifications and sizing
Edge stitching and eyelet quality often matter more than fabric weight when wind load is the constraint. The standard ranges below cover most cases; reinforced and custom variants stay on the menu.
- Material: HDPE monofilament, UV stabilized.
- Weight: 80–220 g/m². The volume runs at 120, 150 and 180 g/m².
- Porosity: 30%, 40%, 50% options. Knocks wind speed down by 60–70%.
- Color: green, black, white, brown (landscape projects), green-black blend.
- Width: 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4 m. Length: 50 m and 100 m rolls.
- Tensile strength: 1500–2500 N/5 cm; rated above 100 km/h sustained.
- Eyelets: galvanized aluminum at 33 cm or 50 cm spacing. We avoid plastic eyelets — they crack in the first storm.
- UV life: 5–8 years outdoor.
Why bulk buyers choose Filesan
From Aegean wineries to Jordanian date palms, our windbreak inventory has been tested across very different climates. When you share the site dimensions and prevailing wind direction, we recommend the right weight and porosity together.
Wholesale MOQ (minimum order quantity) is flexible; orders above 5 tons go out at factory-direct pricing. Send us the site brief and we return a single PDF with wind-tunnel test data included.
Frequently asked questions
Why a porous net instead of a solid wall?
Solid walls create downwind turbulence and eddies that often do more crop damage than the wind itself. A 40% porous screen smooths the wind profile and reduces speed without setting up vortices.
Plastic eyelets are cheaper, why specify aluminum?
Plastic eyelets fail in the first serious gust and damage the surrounding fabric. Galvanized aluminum lasts 8–10 years. The cost gap returns within the warranty window.
Can it double as a construction dust screen?
Yes. We carry an orange high-visibility variant compatible with EN 13374 (European scaffold safety standard) site requirements.
About the Filesan Expert Team behind this page
Wind load is one of the harder design problems in agricultural fabric. Our senior agronomy advisor has 20+ years on Aegean and Çukurova sites, and he works alongside a textile engineer who balances porosity and tensile strength on every batch.
Continuous improvement comes from twice-yearly site tours: we record where the net failed, after how many seasons and at which fixing point. That data goes back to the production line.
