No more burned leaves on begonias, plants are getting a chance to re-root without wilting, my living room, no longer goes into the high 80’s. I can sit on my patio in daylight & still clearly see the birds at the feeder. Flies aren’t getting in my house. Unfortunately, at my condominium I had to use the hooks that were there, which meant poking holes through the binding trim. BUT for a week it’s held, with winds, while I recover from my granddaughter’s accidental Mother’s Day gift Saturday. Then, it is as simple as new grommets around those new holes. Better still, there are existing grommets all the way around. I can also use black outdoor tie cord to create a shade-fold pull up system and tie it off. I’m just wondering when I’ll want it up, ah, a rainy day. Even a breeze beautifully comes right through to coo my home in the morning. But the shade cloth barely waves in the winds. Something as simple as one of the extra large fat clips for large clumps of paperwork, like buying a home, is enough to hold one side in place wen dropped in a sturdy place. The extra rolls up on the concrete patio and unrolls easily without disturbing the grass or the HOA, w/o a sound. I dare say I love love love this shade cloth and the quality. I’ve already given it a a little rough time, and so did a bird because I didn’t know to look to see if a small song bird was hanging out on my shade cloth ;-O Now you know too highly Recommended for flowering and leafy vegetable plants in direct sunlight.

These did great for us. They withstood Wyoming winds/ storms all summer long. Along with providing great shade for the garden in direct sunlight!

This did what I expected/hoped with blocking some sun off my plants. The grommets and border around it seem to be pretty good. The fabric itself if very lightweight and airy. It snags on everything so you have to be careful. My only disappointment is that the fabric is not taut enough within the borders. While we had the corners (borders) nice and tight between our posts, the fabric itself sagged quite a bit and with every tiny breeze, it floated up and down significantly. When it rained, the fabric sagged even more from just being wet. Perhaps it's because it's only 50% blocking and because it's such airy fabric, it's not something you can pull tight. If this is OK with you, then this is a good, cheap tarp. I'll continue to shop for something I can pull tight. Until then, it's protecting my plants nicely.

Good amount of shade without blocking all the light. We used it next to the chicken coop to help shade the run during peak daylight. It helped to keep the run cooler for them. Build quality is good. It fit the side of the run like we wanted. My wife sits out and watches them and it helped get her some shade too. I ordered a set of tent poles to help hold it up on one end. The other end I nailed through the grommets to the run to hold in place. We have happy chickens who are a little cooler. You can see the shaded ground in the picture, it was 2pm when taken.

I got a greenhouse this winter & am still learning how the temperature fluctuates according to the seasons. Yesterday, it was in the high 90s and the temp hit 146°F in there, which is a tad bit hot. I draped the shade cloth over the east, west, and north sides and secured by hooking the grommets on cup hooks. The south side has the door and is shaded by a deciduous tree most of the day, so I didn't cover it, but I did drape it over the automatic vent without issue. It was 102°F today in the high desert of NM, and while it still got hot in there, the temperature was reduced 30 degrees with the use of this shade cloth. It isn't the most attractive look, but it seems to help & I will be able to keep some heat tolerant plants in the greenhouse even during the summer. I will probably buy some more shade cloth to try over an outdoor garden next year, since even sun loving plants can't handle the desert summer sun here at 5000+ feet above sea level. It seemed a little cheap and plasticky upon opening, but as long as it does the job I can overlook that. As you can see in the picture, I had tried hanging tapestries inside and an old tattered flag outside to block the sun, but those options didn't work (the 146 temp included those measures).

Great value, size, length, fit - easy to use.

Haven’t been impressed. Weak material that shreds easy. Good color but too small of size and length. The plastic material is cheap.
