Bulk Shade Cloth, 20% White
20% density will block out 20% of light. 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.
- 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 sq. ft., 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 cable from corner to opposite corner, forming an X pattern that the cloth can rest on. For pieces larger than 400 sq. ft., you may need cables running end to end every 4' or so.

So far, so good. We're trying different percentages of shade and different color. I hope we did the right thing by choosing white.Nevertheless, the trees seem to appreciate any relief from this insane heat we're feeling.
