Saurashtra coast

Shade net and shuttering sheetin Bhavnagar

Bhavnagar grows more onion than any other district in Gujarat, and Mahuva is the state's biggest onion dehydration centre. Low rainfall and sudden storms make the crop risky, so shade for nurseries and covers for harvested stock matter here. The coast is also home to the Alang ship-breaking yard.

Shade net for Bhavnagar

Onion was grown on about 34,000 hectares in Bhavnagar district in 2020-21, the most in Gujarat. Cotton, groundnut and sesame are the other main crops, and the district normally gets only about 519 mm of rain. Storms have closed the Mahuva market yard and damaged harvested onion, so covering stock and raising seedlings under shade both help.

Shuttering sheets and site net for Bhavnagar

Bhavnagar's coast is known for Alang, one of the world's largest ship-breaking yards, and for onion processing units in Mahuva. Building demand here comes mostly from processing sheds, warehouses and town housing rather than big towers. Reusable plastic shuttering suits these smaller, repeat jobs.

Recycled Plastic Shuttering Sheet is a reusable alternative to plywood formwork, and green shade net doubles as facade and scaffolding net that cuts dust and sun on site.

FAQ

Questions from Bhavnagar

Can't find your answer? Ask us directly

  • What should Mahuva onion farmers use to protect harvested onion from rain?

    A waterproof tarpaulin over the heap keeps rain off, while shade net on a frame can keep out strong sun during curing. Many farmers use both, depending on the weather that week.

  • Can I order shade net and shuttering sheets from Bhavnagar?

    Yes. Send your requirement and location by WhatsApp, phone or the enquiry form. We confirm availability, freight and delivery time with your quotation.

  • Do plastic shuttering sheets work in Bhavnagar's weather?

    Yes. Recycled plastic sheets do not absorb water, so they don't swell or delaminate in the monsoon. In strong sun, leave 1–2 mm gaps between sheets and store them flat in shade.
