ParaFence
Parafence has performed very successfully at numerous locations in Tasmania, where it has been deployed to protect the leading edge of horticultural crops from wind damage. The product works as a wind filter, so it reduces the damaging effects of high winds, while allowing enough air to flow through the product, so that wind turbulence does not create a problem further into the crop, like would be the case with a solid structure.
