Collection: Reduce Heat Stress and Protect Your Plants
Sun shade cloth can reduce direct light and heat exposure over gardens, nurseries, greenhouses, patios, and selected plants. Shade percentage describes how much light the fabric is designed to block: 30% shade admits substantially more light than 70% or 80% shade.
How to select shade cloth
- Start with the light needs of the crop and the intensity and duration of direct sun.
- Compare knitted and woven construction, available widths, color, and edge-finishing needs.
- Allow space between fabric and foliage when practical to support airflow.
- Secure the material to a suitable frame and inspect attachment points during windy weather.
Higher shade is not automatically better; excessive shading can reduce plant growth. For the full material selection, visit Shade Fabric. Shop compatible hardware in Snap Fittings and Fabric Clips.
