It is essential that quantity surveyors and engineers correctly document shadecloth and shadenet technical specifications when doing the bill of quantities for use on shadeports, construction sites, shade structures, construction scaffolding and temporary construction fence panels.
Shade cloth and shadenet come in a variety of different densities, colour, tape and filament construction, width, height and useful functionality such as sewn eyelets that can significantly reduce rigging time, enhance aesthetics and reduce costs and wastage.
A number of factors affect the choice of shadenet some of which are shadenet wind resistance, stretch and flexibility of the shadecloth, horizontal or vertical shade cloth erection, shade cloth branding or no branding or shade net, opaqueness (do you need to see through the shadenet or not).
With the advances in technical qualities of shadenet and shade cloth, it is becoming more and more important to specify the correct shadenet or shade cloth for the job to prevent structural inadequacies and failure from occurring bringing liability onto the professionals (architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, builders and project managers)
