The anti-tear cloth roll for olive harvesting is also called pugliese, anti-thorn or shaker type.
Today, this cloth is an indispensable tool for professional olive harvesters, completely replacing the old custom of using square cloths with a central split. In fact, it guarantees enormous time savings compared to traditional cloths.
Due to its very finely woven cloth with no holes, this cloth has the ability to never get caught in grass, twigs or stones or any other obstacle under the olive trees. Hence, the name anti-spine.
The high quality of the thread of which the sheet is made gives it the characteristics of being tear-proof.
Another key aspect is that its threads are not braided, but knotted with all small knots. This ensures that even if a thread breaks, the sheet does not tend to stretch, preventing large holes from forming over time as all other types of sheet on the market do.
The catching net can also be cut at the desired size. Here below some of the overall dimensions allowed:
