Thickened Insect Netting 40/80 Mesh — Greenhouse, Pig Farms & Grasshopper Breeding
If you manage a greenhouse in summer and livestock pens all year with the same netting, standard insect mesh fails in two predictable spots: the thin filament tears where animals rub against it, and the UV package gives out after a couple of seasons under direct sun. This thickened 40/80 mesh is the upgrade — heavier denier monofilament that holds up to animal pressure, plus a UV-stabilized formulation rated for 6+ years outdoors, so you are not re-screening every second season.
Why Heavier Denier Pays Off Here
- Resists rubbing and pecking pressure — pigs, poultry and goats lean on and rub against screening; the thicker filament absorbs that wear, where standard netting develops holes at the first contact point
- ~30% higher tensile strength at the mesh joint — with a heavier yarn the load spreads across fewer, stronger intersections, so a full panel stays square instead of distorting when wind or stock push against it
- 6+ year UV package, not a 2-season one — the difference shows up as brittleness: cheap stabilizer exhausts fast and the whole sheet shatters; this formulation keeps flexibility for a full greenhouse rotation
- Two mesh densities, one product line — 40 mesh keeps airflow high for livestock and grasshopper pens; 80 mesh steps up exclusion for greenhouse crops, so you standardize one supplier instead of two
- Color is functional, not cosmetic — white maximizes light transmission in crop houses, black shows less staining in animal pens and lasts longest, silver reflects some flying insects at the screen face

Choosing Mesh and Color by Site
The mesh count you need is set by the smallest pest you must stop, and the color by how the netting is used:
- 40 mesh, black — pig and poultry pens, grasshopper and cricket breeding rooms. Coarse mesh moves air so ammonia and humidity do not build up, and black hides manure staining so the screen looks clean longer between washes
- 80 mesh, white — greenhouse vegetables and fruit trees. White keeps photosynthetically active light high, which matters because the denser the weave the more light it intercepts
- Silver — mixed sites where you want reflective deterrence at the opening; useful around doors and vents where insects tend to gather before entering
Buyers covering multiple buildings usually order the same mesh in two colors rather than two mesh counts — it simplifies roll management and leaves a fallback if a structure is converted from crop to stock use mid-season.
