Insect netting for a greenhouse

A netting system for a greenhouse having a ventilation panel that is hingeable around a hinging axis, wherein the netting system comprises:

• a framework configured for use with the ventilation panel;
• and
• an insect netting joined to the framework, wherein in an open position of the ventilation panel, the insect netting is configured to at least extend between an opening edge extending parallel to the hinging axis of the ventilation panel, and a ventilation panel edge extending parallel to the hinging axis of the ventilation panel, the insect netting comprising:
• a front panel merging into two side panels, wherein the insect netting is pleated in a pleated configuration to collapse in a stacked manner, wherein the pleated configuration is formed with pleated sections comprising two parallel side pleated portions and a front pleated portion,
• wherein each of the side pleated portions comprises a first side gauze web and a second side gauze web connected to each other at a longitudinal side thereof and each having a first short side configured for facing towards the hinging axis, and a second short side, opposite to the first web end, configured for facing away from the hinging axis, wherein the front pleated portion comprises a first front gauze web and a second front gauze web connected to each other on a longitudinal side thereof, and
• wherein the second short side of the first and second side gauze webs of the side pleated portions is connected to the longitudinal side of the first and second front gauze webs facing towards the hinging axis of the ventilation panel, respectively.

A method for manufacturing pleated sections for an insect netting, wherein the insect netting is configured to be secured to a ventilation panel that is hingeable around a hinging axis, the method comprising:

• providing two or more front gauze webs and two or more side gauze webs each side gauze web having a first short side configured for facing towards the hinging axis, and a second short side, opposite to the first short side, configured for facing away from the hinging axis;
• connecting two side gauze webs to each other along a longitudinal side thereof;
• connecting two front gauze webs to each other along a longitudinal side thereof;
• and
• securing the two connected side gauze webs to the two connected front gauze webs by arranging and connecting the second short side of the side gauze webs at and to the longitudinal side of the front gauze webs that is configured to face towards the hinging axis of the ventilation panel during use.
