Bungee System
The bungee syste, is an alternative to flat net and “V” shaped netting systems. It is particularly suitable for row spacings above 4.5 meters and high installations. Unlike “V” systems, the cords are fixed directly to the top ridge wire of the adjacent row rather than to an additional selvedge of the antihail net. While hail can create temporary accumulation pockets due to the elasticity of the cords, the system performs well thanks to its ability to absorb wind movement.
Bungee systems are easy to install but slightly more expensive than flat net systems due to the use of elastic cords and fixing accessories. Elastics usually require replacement before the net’s lifespan ends; for this reason, Comavit only uses polyethylene-coated elastic cords with anti-UV protection “carbon black” to increase durability.
The system can also cover multiple rows with a single span, making it suitable for closely spaced orchards and vegetable crops.
