Greenhouse Shade Cloth

Product Description

Shade cloth for greenhouses comes with UV stabilization, resistance to rot and mildew, and an impressive 8-year warranty, offering an extended lifespan of up to 16 years. It serves as a crucial element in safeguarding your plants, especially during the scorching summer months.

Why Shade Cloth is Needed?

The necessity of shade cloth arises from its multifaceted benefits. It shields plants through light diffusion and UV protection, ensuring their well-being. Additionally, it plays a vital role in maintaining a cooler environment within the greenhouse, enhancing plant ventilation, reducing water usage, and acting as a preventive measure against sunburn on your valuable plants.

What Size Shade Cloth Should I Purchase?

For optimal coverage, aim for a shade cloth that spans from hip to hip on your hoop house or loosely drapes over the designated area requiring protection. Secure the shade cloth in place using clips positioned every 24-36 inches. Alternatively, you can use a lock channel and spring wire for installation.
