GREENHOUSE 30% Black Tape SHADE CLOTH
Our greenhouse shade cloth is UV stabilized, rot and mildew resistant, and has an 8-year warranty with a 16-year life expectancy. Shade cloth is an important component of your greenhouse to keep your plants safe during the intense summer heat.
WHY DO I NEED SHADE CLOTH?
Shade cloths protect the plants with light diffusion and UV protection. They also help to keep your greenhouse cool, improve plant ventilation, reduce water usage, and help to prevent sunburn on plants.
What Size of Shade Cloth Should I buy?
You will want the cloth to cover from hip to hip on your hoop house or cover loosely over the desired area that needs protection. Install clips to secure the shade cloth every 24-36". Shade cloth can also be installed using lock channel and spring wire. Check out this video tutorial on how to add shade cloth to a high tunnel greenhouse.

Order wider than your structure
My structure is 32’ wide, I ordered the 32’ and it wasn’t quite long enough to reach the sides. I think in the future, your products should have “recommended” sizes and describe whether you want the shade cloth to reach the edges of both sides or only one side (mine was really only wide enough for one side but we made it work.

I put this on my greenhouse and noticed an immediate effect. The greenhouse temps are so much easier to control with the shade cloth. I wish I don't it sooner.

This thing is freaking great. I ordered the 25x50 for my greenhouse and once I put it on, my greenhouse was cooler.its stronger the competitors and the best part it won't rip easily. I must order another one to have as a backup.
