Why did you pick this product vs others?: Buyer Beware. This is a 1 star rating review. Shade cloth doesn't last long. It shreds within 6 to 7 months. I figure people don't trust the 1 to 2 star rating. So I'm typing this in the 5 star rating. I would never buy cheap brands again. Go with name brands. I promise you that if you are in a sunny state that you will be disappointed by this shade cloth. Build quality: Look at the 1 to 2 star rating pics. It tells the whole story.

I have to say I'm impressed with this. Was looking for something that would let rain come through so my grass wouldn't die but yet give shade for my dogs outside of their tented area outside. And it is amazing. It stretches and lets water drain. Of course I got the darkest shading I could get so rain comes through but pulls tarp down some. But it works and has worked for months. Bought a bunch of ball bungee cords to attach to dogs fence and to existing tent. And works wonderfully! Would buy again if I ever need to expand. Would recommend!! Doesn't have any issues when wind storms come through and was so easy to install and use. And have had it caught on edges of fencing and didn't rip or tear!! Love this product!

There's a lot I like about this shade cloth. I like how lightweight it is. I like how much sun it blocks. This is actually the third shade cloth made out of this material that I've used. The first one was a different brand and a different color. It was tan in color, but still 90% sun blocking, supposedly. It was very light underneath, which my wife and I found confusing since it was supposed to block 90% of the sun. We actually thought it was only blocking 10% of the sun because of how light it was. And then one day, 6 of the eyelets pulled out and gave us a reason to warranty the product. But Amazon refunded our money instead. This is when we learned that the shade cloth we purchased was only single-stitched and not double or even six-stitched. That is how we came to buy our first shade cloth of this brand. It is six-stitched, and it seemed more durable because of that feature. About 3 weeks later, I noticed a tear in the cloth. When I got up on top and looked at the shade cloth, I noticed one of the eyelets pulling out. I started a warranty claim and accepted a replacement solar shade. While I waited for the new solar shade to be delivered, we had some fair winds of about 25-30 mph come through, and the shade cloth shredded. As I installed the new cloth today, I looked at how the cloth is made. It's not any kind of cloth that I'm familiar with. It looks like it's plastic that has been sprayed through a clogged spray gun. It is some kind of plastic that is very flexible and very stretchy, just like the description says, "Shade Cloth Made from high density polyethylene which is lightweight but durable. The material provides maximum airflow and stretch-ability." It is all of these things, but durable. I love the dark color for keeping my house cool on days where the temperature exceeds 100 degrees Farenheight. It keeps the plants in the front yard safe from the sun killing them. But it is very, very fragile. I won't be buy this material again.

What this product category is & key features A “shade cloth” rated at 70-90% means it blocks about 70-90% of direct sunlight (and thus a large portion of heat and UV) while still allowing some light, air and water through. Good for protecting plants, patio spaces, kennels, etc. For example: • One listing: “Made from high density polyethylene … our Shade Cloth … blocks rays and most sunlight while air can still flow through”.  • Another reference notes: the manufacturer’s specs show “85-90%” UV cover as “entry level” heavy-duty shade cloth.  • Reviews mention ease of installation, temperature reduction under the cloth, and grommets/reinforced edges.  Typical features & what they mean: • Shade rate (70-90%): Higher percentage means more sunlight blocked—good for very hot, full-sun zones or plants which prefer less intense sun. • Material: Usually HDPE (high-density polyethylene) mesh/net, breathable. Allows air & rain through so you don’t trap moisture/heat.  • Reinforced edges/grommets or tie points: Important for durability—if you mount under tension or in wind, weak edges will fail.  • Install flexibility: Can be used for gardens, patios, pergolas, greenhouses, chicken coops etc. The same material works for shading people & plants.  ⸻ 👍 Strengths / what users like From user reviews and forums: • Many users state significant cooling effect. For example, under one shade cloth people noticed noticeable temperature drop.  • Helps plants survive intense sun in hot climates. On Reddit: “It’s a total game changer in hot sunny climates.”  • Allows water/air through so plants can still breathe and you avoid full blackout. • Versatile: also used for patios/human-shade, pet runs, etc. Good multi-purpose. • Good value for money in many cases—one review of a 70% version noted solid build for its price.  ⸻ 👎 Weaknesses / things to watch out • Over-blocking light: If you choose too high a shade % (e.g., 90%) for plants that need a lot of direct sun (tomatoes, peppers, etc), you might reduce growth or fruiting. One Reddit user said: “It did help control the heat … but it seemed to slow down the overall growth and maturity of the tomatoes and peppers.”  • Durability concerns: Some users report tearing under wind or corners/grommets ripping if not well reinforced. For example: “Tore apart in the first 10 mph wind… threads at the corner were loose.”  • Installation effort: Big pieces may be cumbersome to mount; may require support framing. One user noted size was “cumbersome” for single person.  • Shade % claims vs real world: Some users note that the “70%” or “90%” is approximate and may vary; the impact on plants depends on region/climate. For example: “They all said ‘up to’ 90% shade… So they could be anywhere on the spectrum.”  • Choosing the right %: Many forums suggest lower % (30-60%) for many vegetable gardens, especially in less extreme sun zones, to still allow enough light for fruiting. Example: “I’m in NE Texas… using 40%… first time gardening this far south…”  ⸻ 🎯 My verdict & recommendation For a shade cloth rated 70-90% sun-block, I’d give it about 8/10 for use in very sunny/hot climates or for plants which tolerate lower light but need high protection from heat/UV. For moderate climates or plants needing high light I’d rate it 6-7/10 (because there’s risk of over‐shading or reduced growth). When I’d recommend this: • You live in a very hot or full-sun region (e.g., Southwest US, deserts) and need to protect plants from scorch, high heat, midday sun. • You’re covering patio or using for shade for people/pets and want a high shade rate. • You’re okay with slightly reduced direct light but want big gains in heat/UV reduction. When I’d caution or pick a lower %: • If you grow high-light crops (tomatoes, peppers, fruiting plants) in moderate climate – you may want 50-70% instead of near 90%. • If the installation is exposed to high wind and you don’t have strong support – you’ll want reinforced construction & good edges. • If you’re on a budget and only need moderate shading (part afternoon sun) you might pick a lower cost, lower % cloth.

This seems to be a good product for the price. Took forever to get here we'll see how it holds up

I got the 5x20 I think, I have had 1 going on 3 years. I live in AZ and if you know anything about the heat/sun/monsoon shades like this don't last. Well my first one is starting to be tattered at the edges but not too bad that it won't last one more summer. I ordered a second one to double up the shade in my chicken run, that's where I use the first. I take them down once the summer heat is over (meaning the nights cool off even if it's 100+during the day). For the price I can't complain especially when I know the reality of the AZ heat and how it destroys things left in direct sunlight.

Worked great for shade in the Texas summer heat. Definitely blocked a lot of the sun and helped lower the temperature outside for the outdoor cats to stay cool. However, with the blazing heat of the sun and with many 100 plus degree temps and the wind, the material bridle and crumbled apart after only one summer. Worked as intended for the one summer but only lasted the one summer. Gets three stars for how it cooled the yard and blocked the sun but not full stars for not able to last longer then one summer.

Es la 2da vez que la compro por su buena calidad durabilidad y facilidad de instalar , pero esta vez superó aún más mis espectativas, en dos ocasiones ha hecho demasiado aire y a mí yarda hay caído varias ramas de un palmera y muchas sobre esta shade muy impresionada estoy por que no se rompió a pesar de que las ramas tienen algunos lados puntiagudos , además que al quedar atrapadas se ha evitado que rompa algunos muebles recomiendo exageradamente este producto espero que si estás pensando en comprarlo leas mi reseña es exageradamente útil , su función va más allá de lo que puedas esperar , la compré por la exelente sombra que da pero me ha servido para salvaguardar mi yarda y quizás hasta de evitar que una rama seca lastime a alguien

Es de muy baja calidad, no la recomiendo.

Fit for purpose and value for money. Yes I would purchase again

Bastante útil, hace buena sombra, se siente más fresco abajo, resistente incluso tras trabarse con unos alambras que había en la pared y no vimos. Me gustó bastante.

Absolute rubbish. Disintegrated in less than 3 months. Then refused to do anything about it, claiming that it was over the three month return period, even though it was less than 3 months from when I had received it. My yard is full of plastic particles from where this piece of rubbish disintegrated. Do not buy! This product is dangerous for the environment and absolute junk!!,!!

No son las medidas que dicen súper fatal no lo recomiendo
