10x12 FT Black Shade Cloth for Garden, Durable Mesh Tarp Sun Shade

Did exactly what it was supposed to do. Used as "roof" for my chicken run to keep them contained. Lasted for OVER 3 YEARS before it started tearing and even that was only where it was rubbing on the top of the chainlink panels. (replaced with a different brand that lasted only 3 months!!!!! )

New concept for me but pleasantly surprised. Wasn't sure if anything would grow under it but after just 1 week my dying heat stroked garden started coming back (no other changes, same water, care etc). On the 3 ft sides there is no center grommet, just on the corners. On the 13 ft sides there are the corner grommets and 3 evenly spaced grommets in between and they line up with the opposite side (another brand I got at same time the grommets don't line up at all, important when trying to figure out spacing posts it will be hung off of). The tarp does stretch some but that's good as the crazy winds haven't torn it, and lifting it to reach under it hasn't torn it either. So far it goes back into shape. I chose this size due to straight line of narrow raised beds and still able to walk between rows without ducking (I bought just 1 to see quality, now I'm buying more same size) A larger size to cover everything I figure would blow all over the place, whack us in the throat, and if tears then you're out the whole piece, vs smaller more options, easier to set up/take down quickly. The seam along the edges is thick/sturdy, has kept the grommets from tearing out. Has been over a month thru FL storms, if it lasts thru summer I'll be happy, if it lasts longer even better. The 40% seems to let enough sun thru for plant growth but not too much for stressing them. No problem with rain passing thru the netting, it does sag some with the weight of the water then goes back into shape when dries.

Bought this summer for garden. Saw Immediate improvement in my garden with said shade. Standing under it, one can feel the drop in temp in shade. It did lose a grommet in storm a week after putting it up. Was disappointed but ever so pleased with shade it provides. Hoping this holds up to multiple years of use. Would prob buy this again.

I bought this 70% shade cloth to use on my patio/pergola, and I’m very happy with it. It provides a noticeable amount of shade while still allowing some airflow through. The material feels durable, and the reinforced edges and grommets made it easy to install and secure. It has made the area much more comfortable during the hot days. For the price, I think it’s a great value. Definitely recommended for patios, pergolas, or other outdoor areas.

I purchased multiple of these shade sails for use at an outdoor paintball field where they are exposed to normal weather conditions, including sun, wind, and occasional rain. Unfortunately, I have been very disappointed with their durability. Within just a few months of installation, several of the grommets began pulling out of the material. At first it was only one or two, but over time more and more failed, even though the sails were installed correctly and tensioned reasonably. Once the grommets started coming out, the surrounding fabric quickly began to tear. We now have multiple rips throughout the shade sails, particularly around the attachment points. These are not being used in an extreme environment and were purchased specifically for outdoor use, so I expected them to last much longer than a single season. The shade provided was great while they were intact, and installation was straightforward. However, the overall construction quality does not seem sufficient for long-term outdoor use. The weak points appear to be the grommet reinforcement and stitching around the edges. Once those areas started failing, the damage spread quickly. For anyone considering these for a backyard, event venue, sports field, playground, or commercial application, I would recommend looking closely at other options with heavier-duty reinforced corners and attachment points. Based on my experience, these did not hold up nearly as well as expected and will likely need replacement far sooner than they should. Pros: * Easy to install * Good shade coverage * Looks nice initially Cons: * Grommets pulling out after only a few months * Fabric tearing around attachment points * Not durable enough for long-term outdoor use * Poor value considering the short lifespan Overall, I cannot recommend these based on durability alone. I expected years of service and instead started seeing failures within months.

These were much better than I thought they would be. I did get one shade too dark for vegetables being in Texas. I was worried that I needed more protection, but I didn’t.

Ok quality for the price i will not purchase again due to the quality not being very good but for the price it is not bad at all i will spend the extra 10 dollars to get a more sturdy solar shade . I will still leave a 5 star review because it will do the job and that is protect from the sun

The fabric of this shade cloth is very thin. I have purchased the 20'x20' several times with the expectation that it will last 1 season. The grommets and edging are strong enough that it can be secured against strong wind. The light weight of the fabric allows wind to blow through without damaging the shade or straining whatever you attach it to. The down side of the light weight is that it snags easily on branches or fence wire which starts a tear and tangle the cloth. These don't last a long time like a heavier shade sail, but allow more light for plants and require less anchoring. These are perfect for bringing down excessive heat and sun in our vegetable garden with the expectation that a new one will be needed each summer.

Great quality for the price and size was accurate fit. Our pergola was damaged before this item arrived and we replaced with a different unit. Vendor was easy to deal with for returning the item.

Perfecto

؟!

Hmmmm. If this is 70% shade, I'm a mongoose. Spoiler alert. I'm not. Very loose weave. Not as much shade as I was expecting, so I repaired and left the previous shadecloth up as well. The one you can see the sky through is the new one. The corners and grommets seem sturdy.

It is the right size and the quality looks good. Time will tell. It arrived early which we really appreciated.
