Less solar heat load
Cattle under shade receive less direct solar radiation. This helps mitigate heat stress, which can increase breathing rate and reduce feed intake.
Shade & comfort
Shade for resting and reducing exposure to direct sunlight.

Where it works best
Reduces direct sun exposure and helps ease heat stress. Shade for rest and feeding.
Installation and care
Performance depends on climate, height and ventilation. Provide water and appropriate animal care; no fixed temperature reduction is promised.
Data applies to the described product lines. Service life depends on model, installation and exposure; it is not a blanket warranty for every option.
Preparation and shipping
Rolls: 1–2 days of preparation before dispatch.
Custom sizes: approximately 3 days of manufacturing before dispatch. Multiple-piece orders may take longer.
Mexico: free shipping on orders over MXN $2,000 with up to 20 made-to-measure pieces. Orders up to MXN $2,000: MXN $150 shipping. Rolls always have a shipping charge; rolls and orders over 20 pieces require shipping confirmation before payment. US shipping: to be confirmed.
Configure your material
Livestock shade netting
Selected for cattle applications. 95% and 90% shade netting for pens, feeding areas and cattle resting spaces.
$110.00MXN per m²
Shade that supports animal comfort.
Welfare and productivity
Access to shade supports herd comfort. Research links this management practice to improved performance during hot periods; results depend on climate and the animal.
Space, water and airflow
Spread coverage to avoid crowding. Combine it with clean water, airflow and well-drained ground; account for the movement of shade throughout the day.

Inside your material
Composition, fabric and technology: understand each feature and choose the right option.
- Material and construction
- This application uses monofilament or Raschel shade cloth depending on the line. Livestock use does not make it a different material. Confirm exact resin, fabric weight and strength for the selected option.
- UV stabilization
- The documented livestock line declares HALS UV-11 stabilization against solar degradation. Fabric stability and shade level are different features; neither implies a fixed temperature reduction or veterinary certification.
- Options and differences
- Our cattle selection includes only 95% and 90% shade. All available colors within each variant have the same price. Choose 3.70 × 200 m rolls or made-to-measure pieces.
- Service-life reference
- The consulted livestock line publishes a 5-year reference. Confirm duration and applicable conditions for the exact fabric, particularly when selecting another construction or percentage.
- Format and finishing
- Default finishing includes perimeter rope and eyelets every 50 cm. Specify dimensions and piece count for the pen or resting area. Our commercial roll format is 3.70 × 200 m.
- Installation and maintenance
- Locate shade where animals can access it without crowding and keep clean water available. Plan airflow, drainage and usable area as the sun moves. Inspect anchors and finishing, especially after strong winds.
Technical information describes documented product lines. Confirm the selected model’s sheet; specifications do not automatically transfer between lines.
Before you choose
Is this different from shade cloth?
These are shade nets selected for cattle applications in 95% and 90%. Their use in pens and resting areas does not imply a different resin or veterinary certification.
Does it fully prevent heat stress?
No. Shade helps mitigate solar exposure. Humidity, airflow, water, management and the animal’s condition also matter.
Which percentage should I choose?
We offer nominal 95% and 90% shading here. Choose based on location, ventilation and pen design with local advice. The percentage does not represent a fixed temperature reduction.
Research data are technical references. Performance depends on the material, installation and operating conditions.
