Horticulture Glasshouse & Polytunnel Shading & Cleaning
Sky-Pin Drones Ltd delivers specialist horticulture shading and cleaning services using advanced heavy-lift drone technology, helping growers protect crops, improve light control, and maintain clean, efficient growing environments. Using the XAG P100 heavy-lift drone, we provide precise, consistent application of shading materials and professional cleaning of glasshouses, polytunnels, and horticultural structures—safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to operations.
Managing light intensity
Drone-applied horticultural shading is an increasingly effective solution for managing light intensity and temperature during peak growing periods. By applying shading evenly across large roof areas, we help reduce heat stress, limit crop scorch, improve uniform growth, and protect yield quality
Restoring light transmission
Our drone-based horticultural cleaning service removes dirt, algae, dust, and organic build-up from glass and poly surfaces, restoring light transmission and improving photosynthetic efficiency. Cleaner structures mean healthier crops, better growth rates, and more predictable production cycles—without the risks, labour costs, or access issues associated with working at height.
Improving safety
The XAG P100 heavy-lift drone is purpose-built for demanding commercial applications. Its stability, autonomous flight planning, and precision delivery systems allow safe operation over large horticultural facilities, reducing downtime and avoiding damage to crops, infrastructure, or surrounding areas. Drone operations remove the need for scaffolding, cherry pickers, or manual roof access, significantly improving safety and reducing insurance and labour exposure
