Shade Cloth Black 6.5×12ft 90% Shade Tarp for Outdoor Sun Shade

Had to take out a tree that provided good shade for the house. I ordered this to place over the windows. It looks very well constructed. I like the wide borders and plastic reinforcements on the corner grommets. It is very light and installed easily. It provides as much shade as the tree did. I decided to get one for the east end of the house where the sun comes in through the patio door and heats the house up well before noon despite the blinds being drawn. Only time will tell how durable these are but for now, I'm very happy with them.

We noticed one of our garden beds was struggling with this summer's sun, so we decided to try a shade cloth for the first time. We didn't know exactly what to look for and ended up ordering this one. It was just what our plants needed! It's super light weight and easy to put up. We have cattle panel arches and we attached 2 ends to the cattle panel and the 2 other ends staked to the grass creating a side of shade where the heavy mid day sun hit. This gave the garden bed plenty of sun, but protected it from being scorched. Those plants are now thriving! Will be buying more for next year!

My plants were not showing the typical signs of sunscald and leaf burn (like the basil), but they were suffering big time: slowed plant growth, droopy leaves, barely any blossoms, production of any new fruits had decreased to almost nothing, and any new fruits that made it were either severely stunted or were yellow/orange. My plants (tomatoes, eggplants, artichokes & peppers) were all struggling to survive. In my search online for the solution, I discovered it was NOT a vitamin deficiency, disease, or lack of water, but the result of too much sun and specifically TOO MUCH HEAT (summer in zone 9b: 85-95° daily). Who would have thought? Online sources recommended a shade cloth level of 40% for my plants so I got this one due to price, size, reinforced stitching, and most of all reinforced corners (which is where things normally fail). All I can say is it worked!I bought the 10’x20’ then constructed an arbor of sorts to house the plants. You could feel the reduction in temperature almost immediately by hopping in and out of the sun. At 40% shade, my plants were now getting 60% of the sunlight, heat, and UV rays at the most intense parts of the day and 100% of the rain that fell! Winner, winner! Added bonus: I’ve noticed when watering the plants that the cloth acts as a pretty good bug catcher & lizard climbing gym!The cloth was installed within hours of receipt. It is surprisingly very light, breathable, and its’ knitting or weave appears well made. Without quibbling over inches, the 10’x20’ actually measured out at 10’ width by 19’9” length which is acceptable. It was easy to attach using a combination of pvc clamps and ball bungee chords (both from Amazon) through the grommets. Overall, the seam strength, stitching, corners, and grommets have held taunt through strong winds and heavy blowing rain. There has been no degradation of the cloth or seams, however it should be noted that there were a couple of spots of skipped machine stitching which is why I knocked a star off giving it a 4-star rating (It is also why I like reinforced). Overall, the cloth looks good, is easy to attach, and it blocks enough sun and heat to lower the area temperature making my plants thrive once again. For the size, price and fast shipping, this was definitely my plant saver! -A second Kopada cloth has been ordered.

The measurement wasn't 20' even with stretch as far as it could be stretched. It was 4" off. I didn't bother to measure the 10' side because that part didn't matter to much. This was used to drape over my cow panels for my garden. I have 5 panels that are 4' wide and zip tied together with camping stakes to keep it in place. With 4" short I decided to start 2" in to give me 2" on each end of no coverage. The grommets are very sturdy as is the seam. I stretched as much as I could to get it taunt because I didn't want the wind to catch any slack and rip it off. I used zip ties to fasten through the grommets and square corners so there wasn't any movement when the winds hit. We have a wind tunnel that can blow 60 - 70 mph and more so making sure that cover was taunt was extremely important. Overall, my plants are now happy with getting the much needed relief from the brutal UV Ray's. The squash is no longer droopy and the okra has gained new height. The eggplants are now finally able to put out their flowers . Very happy and satisfied and will purchase again.

This is a very thin sheer cover, not what I was hoping for or what I have purchased in the past. I doubt it will last long, but time will tell.

I bought this shade cloth for my chicken run. We live in North Texas, and our summers are generally 100+ degrees so the girls were struggling with the heat. It was easy to install with a few hooks and bungie cords. Once installed, the shade provided a noticeable difference. If my girls could talk, they’d give it 5 eggs out of 5.

The product does block the sun. Poor stitching causing the grommet to tear. I had to remove the bungee cord. So I wouldn't recommend this brand.....

We use this as a side shield from our awning to the camper to block the sun. It works great! Wish we’d bought this sooner.
