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. It 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.

White shade cloth for greenhouse planting lets you provide some cover on a structure or over a garden while still letting the light in that plants need to grow. The 40% density will block out 40% of light, allowing lilies, irises, certain vegetables, herbs and bedding plants to thrive. This white polyethylene fabric absorbs and reflects the white scattered light from the atmosphere. The interior of the structure is cooler than that covered by black shade cloth in hot weather conditions, as white shade cloth reflects the heat.
Order bulk white shade cloth for plants to create a custom covering for hobby and commercial greenhouses. We offer it in widths from 6 to 32 feet with pricing per foot. The more you buy, the more you save with volume discounts.
40% White Shade Cloth for Plants Features:
- Bulk shade cloth has an unfinished edge that does not include reinforcing tape or grommets.

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.
