Why Haygrove Raincovers?

Haygrove’s extensive Research and Development and experience in polythene structures has resulted in in our ability to design a raincover structure that is strong and wind resistant, Haygrove’s rain covers can be supplied as a stand-alone structure or simply retrofitted beneath existing shade net structures. Our design and use of steel poles have reduced the risk of the structures pulling out the ground and can tolerate slopes and gradients.
