Notes
Area covered per hour depends on row lengths, block shape, headlands, obstacles, canopy, row widths, topography, etc. Installation is more expensive than retrieval as more labourers are required.

General Rule of Thumb

  • Cost to apply net (250–300m rolls): $390-$440
  • Cost to retrieve net (250–300m rolls): $390-$440

 

Additional Factors Affecting Costs

  • Vineyard Layout: Row lengths, block shape, headlands, obstacles, canopy density, row widths, and topography.
  • Net Condition: Well-maintained nets are easier to handle, while damaged nets may require additional repairs during installation and retrieval.
  • Trellis and Ground Conditions: Poor trellis condition or debris on the ground can impact installation efficiency.

 

Net Care Recommendations

  • Storage: Store nets in a dark, dry place to prevent degradation from sunlight and moisture. Bait storage areas to deter vermin.
  • Maintenance: Remove debris such as sticks and repair any holes or tears promptly. Properly maintained nets can last at least 15 years.
