Given the increased problems and costs associated with pesticides, no modern greenhouse should be
without the proper insect barrier. Green-Tek Insect Screens, correctly installed, prevent insect
penetration, yet provide maximum possible air flow, essential for optimal crop yields.
Regardless of the cooling and ventilating system that you use, you need to consider insect screen.
Screening intake vents will produce dramatic results, but all greenhouse openings, including service
doors (which should incorporate double screened doors), should be screened for best results.
ANTI-VIRUS Insect Screen excludes Whitefly, Aphids, Leafminers and up to 80% of Western Flower Thrips
in field applications. Several years of
laboratory and field testing have
resulted in a patented screen structure
that maximizes air circulation, while
keeping pests out. Special equipment
has been developed to ensure hole size
accuracy, and a 0.24 mm diameter yarn
is used, which is 45% stronger with
greater UV resistance, compared to 0.20
mm diameter standard yarns.

INSTALLATION
1. Check that the frame, structure or wall to which the
insect screen will be fastened is as square as
possible, to eliminate twisting or shortage of fabric.
2. Metal parts should not touch the screen. In the
summer, heat accumulates in metal parts, and
might damage the plastic screen. Therefore, it is
important to cover metal parts with white water
based latex paint or white tape to protect the
screen.

3. When you install the screen, keep the screen square

and parallel to the sides of the greenhouse. This will
keep the fibers of the screen parallel. If the fibers are
not parallel to the greenhouse sides, the screen will
be shortened in length and in width.
4. When you install several screens together which
have not been stitched, you should connect the first
screen to the sides of the greenhouse. Then,
connect the second screen to the first one and to
the greenhouse sides. Continue in that way until the
entire greenhouse is covered.
