Shade fabric reduces the amount of direct light reaching crops, propagation areas, greenhouses, and outdoor work spaces. This collection includes knitted and woven materials in several shade percentages, along with options sold by the foot for custom-length projects.

Compare shade materials

  • Shade percentage: indicates the portion of light the fabric is designed to block.
  • Knitted fabric: is flexible and generally resists unraveling when cut.
  • Woven fabric: has a firmer construction and may require attention to cut edges.
  • Color, width, and finish: affect appearance, installation, and suitability for a project.

Choose density according to the crop and measured growing conditions, then monitor plant response after installation. Confirm minimum lengths and ordering increments on products sold by the foot. See Sun Protection for selection guidance and clips and fasteners for installation.
