IrriHub shade houses put your crops in a structured, protected environment that filters harsh sunlight, keeps destructive insects out, and maintains the airflow and humidity balance that plants need to grow strong and healthy. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShade houses are the climate-smart farmer’s answer to Kenya’s increasingly harsh and unpredictable weather. Unlike a greenhouse, which seals crops in a polythene-covered environment, a shade house uses UV-treated polyethylene netting for both walls and roof, allowing natural air circulation and diffused light while shielding crops from the extremes. Th result is a growing space that mimics ideal outdoor conditions, without the risk that come with open-field exposure. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt IrriHub Kenya, our shade houses are built on a robust hot-dip galvanized steel frame, designed to withstand years of outdoor use. Every unit comes with a full drip irrigation system and a quality water tank. Whether you are producing vegetables for a market, floriculture crops, or running a black soldier fly operation, we have a shade house sized and configured for your needs. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGalvanized metallic structure, hot-dip treated for strength and rust resistance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUV-treated shade nets in black or green (you choose your preferred color)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvailable shade densities: 50%, 60%, 70%, and 90% so you can select the right light filtration for your crop\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEntry porch for a clean and professional farm layout\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOptional crop support structure or vining and climbing crops \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShade Density Guide \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChoosing the right shade percentage matters.
