Set galvanized metallic posts or treated timber poles in concrete and run high-tensile galvanised support wires across the roofline.
Net Unrolling & Fastening
Spread shade net panels over the cable network, pull taut, and secure using heavy-duty UV cable ties or wiggle wire tracks.

Commonly Integrated Solutions
Greenhouses
Symnet Agro Solutions designs, manufactures, and installs high-performance commercial greenhouses tailored specifically to withstand Kenyan equatorial radiation, gusting winds, and localized microclimates. Available in Class B hot-dipped galvanized metallic arches or pressure-treated eucalyptus timber, each structure is engineered to optimize photosynthetic active radiation (PAR), regulate relative humidity, and eradicate destructive pests like tuta absoluta, thrips, and whiteflies.
HDPE Dam Liners
Water loss through soil seepage ruins thousands of Kenyan farm reservoirs every dry spell. Symnet Agro Solutions supplies and expertly installs certified virgin High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) geomembrane dam liners engineered to turn porous excavations into zero-leakage, multi-million-litre water storage assets. With thicknesses ranging from 0.5mm to 1.0mm, our liners are treated with specialized carbon black UV absorbers to resist extreme heat and puncture hazards.
Drip Irrigation
Traditional furrow and overhead sprinkler methods waste over 50% of water through evaporation and surface runoff while encouraging weed proliferation. Symnet precision drip irrigation packages deliver micro-metered droplets directly to the active root zone. Operating under ultra-low gravity pressure from an elevated tank or integrated with zero-cost solar water pumps, our systems ensure uniform crop growth and seamless fertigation.
