Grommeted Panel
The edges of these panels are sewn with heavy-duty reinforcing tape. Brass grommets are installed on approximately two-foot centers around the perimeter. They often include a seam where two pieces of shade have been sewn together. The panels are durable and easy to install with ropes, bungees or wire. It’s the most durable solution for smaller areas where the shade cloth will be suspended between four points. Grommeted panels are sold in pre-cut sizes or can be ordered in any custom size.
Precut Panel
A raw piece of shade fabric where the edges of the panel are not reinforced with any tape or grommets. Would not typically have a seam but may have a raw (cut) edge. They can be installed with wiggle wire, shade cloth clips or wooden lath. Precut panels are sold in precut sizes or can be ordered in any custom size.
Bulk (currently viewing)
Sold in factory widths by the linear foot. It would only rarely have a seam and the sides typically include a factory-finished (uncut) edge. The most cost-effective solution for large quantities of shade fabric.

By hanging Aluminet cloth around the interior of your greenhouse, you’ll keep out just enough of the sun and heat for a bountiful harvest. The 40% shade factor allows 60% light transmission, which is well-suited to many vegetables and bedding plants along with lilies, gloxinias and more.
When considering Aluminet vs. shade cloth such as traditional black fabric, Aluminet does more than just block light. This special knitted screen is made from metalized HDPE, giving the fiber durability and longevity. These properties allow Aluminet to function like a mirror during summer months as its unique aluminized fibers reflect unwanted sunlight and heat from your greenhouse. The same properties also serve to retain valuable heat during the winter months.
Aluminet sun reflective shade is designed especially for internal use to be spread permanently as a ceiling beneath greenhouse roofs or to be installed as a moveable thermal screen. Call Greenhouse Megastore at 1-888-281-9337 to learn more about Aluminet and confirm if this is the right cloth for your needs.
Aluminet 40% Reflective Shade Cover Features:
- Bulk shade cloth has an unfinished edge that does not include reinforcing tape or grommets.
- Unlike woven shade cloth, the tough lockstitch construction of our knitted material will prevent unfinished edges from unraveling.
- Bulk shade cloth can be easily cut with a sharp pair of scissors to any desired size.
- Bulk pieces can be attached using snap grommets, zip ties or other fastening methods.

Hanging Instructions
When hanging shade cloth pieces larger than 100 square feet you may need extra center support to prevent the cloth from sagging in the middle. One easy way to do this is by running lightweight cables from each corner to the opposite corner, forming an X pattern that the cloth can rest on. For pieces larger than 400 square feet, you may need cables running end to end every four feet or so.
