In the scorching heat of Dubai, shade nettings have become essential for residential, commercial, and agricultural applications. Whether you’re shielding your garden, car, patio, balcony, or greenhouse, shade nets provide reliable protection against the sun, UV rays, dust, wind, and even light rain. The good news? Installing shade nettings is something you can do yourself — with the right guidance, tools, and quality products from Exclusive Tarps.
In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to successfully install shade nettings in Dubai — from choosing the right shade percentage to preparing your installation area, selecting tools, mounting techniques, and aftercare.
Why Install Shade Nettings in Dubai?
Before diving into the installation process, let’s take a quick look at why shade nets are a must-have in Dubai’s unique climate.
✅ UV Protection
With year-round sunshine, UV rays can damage plants, furniture, cars, and your skin. Shade nets reduce UV exposure and keep temperatures down.
✅ Energy Efficiency
Installed on balconies, rooftops, and patios, shade nettings lower indoor temperatures and reduce the need for air conditioning.
✅ Privacy & Aesthetic Appeal
Shade nets provide privacy from neighboring buildings while enhancing the aesthetic of your outdoor space.
✅ Versatility
Perfect for car parking areas, garden fencing, construction sites, greenhouses, outdoor seating, and more.

Step 2: Measure Your Area Properly
Accurate measurement ensures a smooth and professional-looking installation. Use a tape measure to calculate:
-
Length and width of the area to be covered
-
Mounting height
-
Attachment points (walls, poles, fences, pergola structures)
Always add 5–10% to your measurements to allow for overlap and tension adjustments.
Step 3: Gather the Tools You’ll Need
To install your shade net properly, gather the following tools and accessories:
🧰 Tools:
-
Measuring tape
-
Scissors or utility knife
-
Ladder
-
Marker
-
Screwdriver or drill (for wall mounts)
🪛 Accessories:
-
Cable ties or zip ties
-
Eye bolts or wall hooks
-
Bungee cords or rope
-
Net clips or plastic hooks
-
Pole mounts (if free-standing installation)
All these accessories are available for purchase alongside your shade net at Exclusive Tarps.
Step 4: Prepare Your Installation Area
Clean and clear the area where the net will be installed. This includes:
-
Removing obstacles or debris
-
Ensuring walls or poles are sturdy enough to bear tension
-
Installing poles if no existing support is available
For greenhouses or gardens, make sure the net will not interfere with watering or sunlight requirements.
Step 5: Install the Support System
Option A: Wall-to-Wall Installation
-
Screw in eye bolts or wall hooks on each corner of the area.
-
Attach strong rope or wire between the anchors to form a frame.
-
The net will be mounted on this frame.
Option B: Pole or Pergola Installation
-
Secure poles into the ground using concrete or metal base plates.
-
Attach wires or horizontal rods across the top.
-
This is ideal for car parking areas or temporary garden structures.
Step 6: Attach the Shade Netting
Now it’s time to fix the net:
✅ Stretch and Position
-
Unroll your shade net and lay it over the frame or wires.
-
Leave an extra 2–3 inches on each side for tensioning.
✅ Secure the Edges
-
Use cable ties, net clips, or bungee cords to secure the shade net to the frame, wire, or support system.
-
Start from one corner and work your way around to ensure even tension.
-
Do not pull too tight — leave slight slack for heat expansion.
✅ Tighten for Tension
-
Use turnbuckles or rope loops to tighten the net if necessary.
-
The net should be taut but not over-stretched.
✅ Trim Excess Material
-
After installation, use a sharp knife or scissors to cut off any excess shade netting.
Step 7: Inspect & Adjust
Walk around and inspect your installation:
-
Check tension and attachment points.
-
Make sure the net is stable in the wind.
-
Test for sagging in the middle and re-tighten if necessary.
Step 8: Maintenance Tips
Shade nettings are low-maintenance, but regular upkeep will ensure longevity.
🧼 Cleaning:
-
Rinse with water occasionally to remove dust and debris.
-
Use mild soap for stubborn stains.
🔧 Inspections:
-
Check cable ties or hooks every few months.
-
Replace damaged sections promptly.
💨 Weather Protection:
-
Our shade nets at Exclusive Tarps are UV-stabilized and wind-resistant, but during storms, it’s best to roll them back or reinforce their support.
Advanced Tips for DIY Shade Net Installation in Dubai
✔️ Use Net Clips for Reusability
If you plan on taking the shade net down seasonally, use plastic net clips or snap hooks instead of permanent cable ties.
✔️ Add a Sloping Angle
For carports or patios, a slight slope prevents water from pooling and enhances airflow.
✔️ Combine with Curtains
To create shaded private enclosures, install vertical shade curtains along with overhead nets.
