The edges of these panels are sewn with heavy-duty reinforcing tape. Brass grommets are installed on approx. 2' centers around the perimeter. Often includes a seam where two pieces of shade have been sewn together. Durable, easy to install with ropes, bungees or wire. Most durable solution for smaller areas where shade will be suspended between four points. Grommeted panels are sold in pre-cut sizes or can be ordered in any custom size.
A raw piece of shade fabric where edges of panel are not reinforced with any tape or grommets. Would not typically have a seam but may have a raw (cut) edge. Can be installed with wiggle wire, shade cloth clips or wooden lath. Precut Panels are sold in pre-cut sizes or can be ordered in any custom size.
Sold in factory widths by the linear foot. Would only rarely have a seam and sides typically include a factory finished (uncut) edge. Most cost effective solution for large quantities of shade fabric.

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.
Will be buying more of these. Hem and grommets are made to last.
Have had this shade cloth in use for one month and so far it has preformed as expected. It seems durable and well made. I would buy it again!
this product works very well! Shades the area and still lets enough light in to keep the chickens happy
I use the shade cloth to cover a 8 x 24 foot patio that I keep my plants on. I live in Tucson, AZ. The patio has full sun all day. This cloth has been perfect for my use. My plants get the summer rain and the cloth has held up to heavy winds. I'm currently building a porch. I plan to cover the porch with the same cloth. I would recommend this cloth to anyone.
The product is well made. The real heat hasn't started here in Tucson yet, so I can't really say how well it's going to work.
I needed a 50% shade cloth for my coldhouse to help with overwintering my hardy, evergreen bonsai trees.Quality is excellent; plenty of grommets and reinforced edges. Also, delivery was very fast. I will be ordering from Greenhouse Megastore in the future. Keep doing things the right way!
Perfect fit, just what my wife wanted.
Great product as advertised easy to work with. Good service
I have a large vegi bed 12 x 16 ft. that gets lot of TX hot sun from Summer through Fall. For my area, I ordered the 50% shade. The shade cloth seems to be of good quality. The fabric has strong hemming. The ordered arrived on time, very nicely packed. I am very pleased with it. Water goes through - and wind will not pick it up. It is important to keep the ends opened (and the sides) so the pollinators can get in and out. When not in use. I will keep it folded up in a trash bag for future use...in a garage. Garden shed is not safe, mice can get it. I hope that is will last, at this point it's too early to say.
New to the greenhouse growing and so far this has done it's job. Great and thank you.
