The net is sized at 14' wide × 7' long — wider than the greenhouse footprint — so it wraps over the roofline and down both sides for full coverage.

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). This 14' × 7' net is sized specifically for the Riga IIs’ 7-foot length.
