Cool Area 55% Sun Shade Cloth Mesh Tarp with Grommets for Plant Cover 6.5x10ft Patio Canopy Garden Pergola Greenhouse Car Barn Kennel Black

This Florida heat has been brutal to my plants. IHad to get some protection. This shade cloth works really well. It allows water to pass through and blocks most of the direct sun. The Material seems thick and durable and I have not had any rips. The holes makeIt rather easy to set hand attach to poles or trellis. My plants did better after installing this shade cloth no burns and less dropped blooms.

Works great on my pontoon boat for shade

No more burned leaves on begonias, plants are getting a chance to re-root without wilting, my living room, no longer goes into the high 80’s. I can sit on my patio in daylight & still clearly see the birds at the feeder. Flies aren’t getting in my house. Unfortunately, at my condominium I had to use the hooks that were there, which meant poking holes through the binding trim. BUT for a week it’s held, with winds, while I recover from my granddaughter’s accidental Mother’s Day gift Saturday. Then, it is as simple as new grommets around those new holes. Better still, there are existing grommets all the way around. I can also use black outdoor tie cord to create a shade-fold pull up system and tie it off. I’m just wondering when I’ll want it up, ah, a rainy day. Even a breeze beautifully comes right through to coo my home in the morning. But the shade cloth barely waves in the winds. Something as simple as one of the extra large fat clips for large clumps of paperwork, like buying a home, is enough to hold one side in place wen dropped in a sturdy place. The extra rolls up on the concrete patio and unrolls easily without disturbing the grass or the HOA, w/o a sound. I dare say I love love love this shade cloth and the quality. I’ve already given it a a little rough time, and so did a bird because I didn’t know to look to see if a small song bird was hanging out on my shade cloth ;-O Now you know too highly Recommended for flowering and leafy vegetable plants in direct sunlight.

This did what I expected/hoped with blocking some sun off my plants. The grommets and border around it seem to be pretty good. The fabric itself if very lightweight and airy. It snags on everything so you have to be careful.My only disappointment is that the fabric is not taut enough within the borders. While we had the corners (borders) nice and tight between our posts, the fabric itself sagged quite a bit and with every tiny breeze, it floated up and down significantly. When it rained, the fabric sagged even more from just being wet.Perhaps it's because it's only 50% blocking and because it's such airy fabric, it's not something you can pull tight. If this is OK with you, then this is a good, cheap tarp.I'll continue to shop for something I can pull tight. Until then, it's protecting my plants nicely.

We bought this to shade our chickens from the harsh CO sun. The chickens love it. Seem to give them just enough light to be happy, but the shade they need to stay cool and not all crowd under the coop. We get some pretty bad winds here and so far it's held up well. So well in fact, the fence was pulled away from the post because it acts as a sail. We are going to have to find a way to hang it more above the coop so we keep the fence up and the fox out.

For the price, it should go without saying that you aren't getting a top of line, commercial greenhouse-grade shade cloth. But for what it is and what it costs, it's excellent. I have a few that I keep on standby to throw over sensitive trees when we get sunny days above 100 and they work great. It is a bit fragile and prone to snagging, so you're not going to want to leave it up all year long. But it WILL provide good shade. If you're looking for a durable, woven fiber shade cloth that will last you many years, you will need to drop some coin at a greenhouse supply company.

Uses over green house, works good, should have gotten 70% instead of 55%. Stell works well.

The media could not be loaded. Easy to put up. Material seems a little flimsy, too thin. Hope it lasts. I’m hoping I’m wrong about it. The rings seem too weak. Color is good.
