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 ordered in any custom size.
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.
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.

Just like you can get too much sun during the summer, so can your plants. Use Aluminet™ wholesale shade cloth to shield greenhouse plants from excess heat and UV rays. Our bulk rolls of aluminum sunshade cloth are perfect for large commercial greenhouse structures and DIY home projects.
This heavy-duty sun-reflective cloth creates 70% shade, allowing 30% light transmission. The 70% shading factor and maximum cooling ability of Aluminet makes this sunshade material the perfect solution for shading greenhouses - particularly those housing ferns and orchids - and all types of pet or animal enclosures. You can also use it to make a car sunshade, so the interior doesn't overheat.
Aluminet is a special knitted screen 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. These same properties also serve to retain valuable heat during the winter months. The shade is designed for internal use to be spread permanently as a ceiling beneath greenhouse roofs or installed as a moveable thermal screen. Take advantage of volume pricing for projects of all sizes.

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.
This cover was perfect for our Rion greenhouse. Fast shipping and good quality
In our heat the material made a significant difference compared to traditional shade cloth without the aluminized threads!!
This shade cloth is easy to work with. I sew a casing along the edge and put in a pvc pipe. Then the stress from the wind is evenly distributed.It lasts 10 years on my greenhouse roof used 9 months of the year. Be sure you buy the correct density. 60% is best for orchids.
Easy to attach to greenhouse inner walls and roof using twist attachments. It lowered the internal temperature by 10-15 degrees. Product is very durable and easy to cut to dimensions required
Product and service was great. I'll be ordering again soon!
Used this to create the shade in a shade structure and it worked great. Provides plenty of shade, but lets the wind through so it doesn't bring down your structure. Works great with the plastic grommets along with ball bungies and rope to attach to the PVC pipe skeleton.
I live in the desert so these are priceless - winter and summer. I've been using them for 5 years now - it is true that grommets of any kind- even the shark bites will not work on the aluminet. I started using spring clamps instead and have not had one tear from wind related problems - even in 50mph winds (we live on a mesa in the high desert). They will tear if you place them over something sharp - such as the end of a pipe on a pipe structure; when billowing in the wind. Advantages of this product far out-way the disadvantages.
The shade cloth cuts sun as well as I had hoped, disperses it nicely. But despite sewing rather large (1'x1')and sturdy gussets at each corner and then at midpoints, the cloth tore out under moderate pressure. 30 mph winds were just too much for it. Might be really nice for mild weather, but I wouldn't consider buying this again.
Get your ground cover down and stop the weeds before they start again.
