Shade Cloth FAQ's Part 2

Black Shade Cloth
Classic multi-purpose shade in a wide variety of shade values is ideal of every application. Black color naturally resists the sun’s harmful UV Radiation for many years of satisfactory performance. A large selection of widths in stock makes it easy to choose the right size for your application. Use where plants are being light conditioned for indoor/outdoor use or where plants are being deliberately drawn to achieve increased height by reaching to a restricted light source. On hot days, black shade cloth absorbs the sun’s heat into the structure.

White Shade Cloth
White shade cloth offers reduced heat build up thanks to reflection of the sun’s powerful radiation. Diffusion of light underneath white shade cloth is also improved. Use for flowering plants which will be effected by longer natural light exposure due to an increase in light quantity and duration. White shade cloth absorbs and reflects the white scattered light from the atmosphere. The interior of the structure is cooler than that covered by black shade cloth in hot weather condition, as white shade cloth reflects the heat.

This is the shade cloth of choice for nurseries, windscreens, temporary fencing, privacy screens, retail garden centers, patio lovers, baseball diamond fences, and tennis courts. Available in Green, Violet, Miller Blue, and Desert Tan.
