Riga XL models use 21' wide nets to accommodate the XL’s 14-foot greenhouse width. The Riga IIs net at 14' × 7' is the smallest and most affordable in the series. Always order the net designated for your specific greenhouse model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Use a Shade Net on a Riga IIs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Riga IIs uses 8mm\/10mm twin-wall polycarbonate glazing that transmits a high percentage of solar radiation — ideal for winter growing but can cause overheating in summer. The compact 54 sq ft interior heats up quickly on sunny days, and the single automatic roof opener may not be sufficient to maintain comfortable growing temperatures during peak summer heat. The Aluminet shade net reduces solar heat gain by approximately 50%, keeping the interior cooler while still providing sufficient light for most crops. The aluminum reflective mesh reflects heat away from the greenhouse rather than absorbing it, making it more effective than standard shade cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the shade net measure 14' wide when the Riga IIs is only 7'8\" wide?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 14' width is intentional — the net is designed to drape over the peak of the roof and hang down both sides of the greenhouse. This provides full coverage of the roof and upper side panels where solar heat gain is greatest. The extra width ensures the net reaches far enough down the sides to be secured with the brass grommets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I still open the roof vent with the shade net installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — the shade net is designed to allow the single roof vent to open normally. The mesh is flexible and the net is positioned so that the roof window can push through or lift the net as it opens. Ventilation is not blocked by the shade net.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this shade net for interior or exterior use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExterior use only. The net is draped over the outside of the greenhouse. Exterior installation is more effective at reducing heat gain because it intercepts solar radiation before it enters the polycarbonate panels, rather than after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does it take to receive this shade net?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis shade net is custom manufactured when ordered. Lead time is 4–5 weeks from the order date. It cannot be expedited. If you need the net for a specific date (e.g., before summer heat peaks), order at least 5–6 weeks in advance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the shade net attached to the greenhouse?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe net has taped edges with brass grommets for secure attachment. You can use bungee cords, rope, or zip ties through the grommets to secure the net to the greenhouse frame. The grommets are positioned around the perimeter of the net for even attachment points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this the right net if I have a Riga IIIs instead of a Riga IIs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo — the Riga IIIs is 10'6\" long (vs. 7' for the IIs) and requires the 14' × 10' shade net ($229).

However, the 413 sq ft interior and 14-foot width can still experience significant heat buildup in summer, even with 8 automatic roof openers working at full capacity. The Aluminet shade net reduces solar heat gain by approximately 50%, keeping the interior cooler during peak summer heat while still providing sufficient light for most crops. For a greenhouse of this size, the shade net is particularly valuable — the large glazed surface area means more total solar heat gain than smaller models, and the 8 roof openers alone may not be sufficient to maintain comfortable growing temperatures on the hottest days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is this net 21' wide when the Riga XL 9 is only 14' wide?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 21' width is intentional — the net is designed to drape over the peak of the 14-foot-wide roof and hang down both sides of the greenhouse. The XL series is significantly wider than the standard Riga models, requiring a wider net to achieve the same full-coverage wrap. The extra width ensures the net reaches far enough down the sides to be secured with the brass grommets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Riga XL 9 has 8 automatic roof openers — do I still need a shade net?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 8 automatic roof openers provide excellent ventilation, but ventilation alone cannot fully offset solar heat gain on the hottest days. The shade net reduces the amount of solar radiation entering the greenhouse in the first place, which is more effective than trying to exhaust heat after it has already built up inside. For a 413 sq ft greenhouse with a large glazed surface area, combining shade netting with roof ventilation provides the best summer temperature management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I still open all 8 roof vents with the shade net installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — the shade net is designed to allow all roof vents to open normally. The mesh is flexible and the net is positioned so that each roof window can push through or lift the net as it opens. All 8 automatic openers remain fully functional with the shade net installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this shade net for interior or exterior use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExterior use only.

However, the 280 sq ft interior and 14-foot width can still experience significant heat buildup in summer, even with 4 automatic roof openers working. The Aluminet shade net reduces solar heat gain by approximately 50%, keeping the interior cooler during peak summer heat while still providing sufficient light for most crops. The aluminum reflective mesh reflects heat away from the greenhouse rather than absorbing it, making it more effective than standard shade cloth at reducing radiant heat load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is this net 21' wide when the Riga XL 6 is only 14' wide?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 21' width is intentional — the net is designed to drape over the peak of the 14-foot-wide roof and hang down both sides of the greenhouse. The XL series is significantly wider than the standard Riga models, requiring a wider net to achieve the same full-coverage wrap. The extra width ensures the net reaches far enough down the sides to be secured with the brass grommets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use a standard Riga shade net (14' wide) on my Riga XL 6?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo — the standard 14' wide nets are designed for the narrower standard Riga models (7'4\"–9'8\" wide). On the 14-foot-wide Riga XL 6, a 14' net would not provide adequate side coverage after wrapping over the roofline.

However, the larger interior volume and wider footprint of the XL series can still experience significant heat buildup in summer. The Aluminet shade net reduces solar heat gain by approximately 50%, keeping the interior cooler during peak summer heat while still providing sufficient light for most crops. The aluminum reflective mesh reflects heat away from the greenhouse rather than absorbing it, making it more effective than standard shade cloth at reducing radiant heat load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is this net 21' wide when the Riga XL 5 is only 14' wide?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 21' width is intentional — the net is designed to drape over the peak of the 14-foot-wide roof and hang down both sides of the greenhouse. The XL series is significantly wider than the standard Riga models, requiring a wider net to achieve the same full-coverage wrap.

The Riga IIIs is 7'8\" wide and the Riga III is 9'8\" wide; both are 10'6\" long. The 14' net width provides adequate overhang for both widths, and the 10' net length covers the 10'6\" greenhouse length with slight overlap at the ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does it take to receive this shade net?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis shade net is custom manufactured when ordered. Lead time is 4–5 weeks from the order date. It cannot be expedited. If you need the net for a specific date (e.g., before summer heat peaks), order at least 5–6 weeks in advance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the shade net attached to the greenhouse?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe net has a taped edge with brass grommets for secure attachment. You can use bungee cords, rope, or zip ties through the grommets to secure the net to the greenhouse frame. The grommets are positioned around the perimeter of the net for even attachment points.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Exaco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59517636477214,"sku":"SHADE-NET-ALUMINET-50-14x10","price":229.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/1802\/5246\/files\/shade_net_alone_59057e40-29f3-431b-b5cc-daa2b89428b8.jpg?v=1782505312"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/1802\/5246\/collections\/shade_net_alone_9ed3d49e-5b17-426f-8755-986c3299b13a.jpg?v=1782588221","url":"https:\/\/rigagreenhousekit.com\/collections\/shade-nets.oembed","provider":"Riga Greenhouses","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
