70% density will block out 70% of light and UV rays. Our quality shade fabrics are manufactured featuring tough, lock-stitch construction.

Aluminet is a high quality, reflective, metalized, HDPE, knitted screen material for use in greenhouse thermal screens, used as an alternative to black shade cloth. It is specially treated to prevent oxidation, and because the strands are twisted, Aluminet will diffuse light from many directions. It reduces greenhouse temperatures by 9-14%!

We beat most shade cloth distributors prices by 25%. Not sure what percentage of shade cloth you need, have more questions, or need help? Contact us!

Our shade cloth comes standard with sewn black binding edges (a durable seatbelt-like material) and grommets every 2 feet. Please visit our Custom Shade Cloth Calculator if you require a non-standard size or a change in the grommets and/or edges.

With pieces 100 square feet or larger, we advise providing support cables underneath to prevent sagging. Lightweight cable can be run from corner to corner, providing an X for the shade cloth to rest on. For pieces over 400 square feet, lightweight cables running end to end every 4 feet is advised.
