Agfabric30% Sun-Block Shade Cloth 6x8ft Net Mesh Shade with Clips for Garden Patio&Plants, Black

Over triple digits here, easy to cut I use clothes pins to secure but clips would also work. This is thin and does the trick to shade this intense heat from my little garden plants. They are thriving since I got this. First year I am doing, why did I wait? Who knows, but now I will be utilizing each year and all seasons if necessary. A must have in the garden tote. Great product, comes wrapped very well, easy to cut, no smell, fast ship love this company have purchased from preciously. Came back, always, so thanks for a great product!

This shade cloth was purchased to cover support hoops over my 4' x 8' raised vegetable garden. So far it's done the job, providing just enough buffer from the brutal summer sun to allow my plants thrive. It seems sturdy, and has not torn yet, despite several bouts of 40mph winds. All in all, a good product for a reasonable price. Highly recommend.

My wife used this for our raised bed garden and it is doing great for our lettuce so it doesn't wilt with intense sun.

I live in southern North Carolina (southern USA) and it starts getting 90 degrees, or hotter, sometime in May. Growing cabbage, broccolli, lettuce, cauliflower, onions, or any other type of cold liking veggie is extremely hard to do. Even if you plant in early March (risking frost damage) you will usually have your colder weather veggies mutate, flower early, or just burn up before you can get a decent harvest. So this year was my last attempt at broccoli and I grew them in the open sun until late May where we had a heat wave of 103F for 2 weeks (that's 1 degree away from 40 degrees Celcius). That's when I decided to throw on the shade cloth and I now know its possible to grow broccoli in the south during summer! :D Who would have thought that such a simple piece of fabric could make such a difference. My broccoli and lettuce have all grown up beautifully. The only issue is that the outside of the broccoli is becoming stringy and pushing to flower faster, while the middle is still tightly clustered and green. I could only assume that the heat is making this happen as my corn is tasseling already and it's not even chest-high (stunted/short corn stalks and tassels on small plants=heat stress in corn). But besides that one minor problem, I can actually grow broccoli again and whole heads of lettuce! The size is perfect for a raised bed or a wide row in an open garden. It's durable, lightweight and with the way the fabric is weaved, the wind goes right through it. I'm ordering 2 more as I type this and I cannot say enough good things about it. Don't try those cheaper, solid fabric sheet that does not have any holes, as they block too much sun, however they are GREAT for using as weed blocker. If your cooler loving veggies need a little help, then this is it. You will notice a difference within hours. 30% shade seems to be enough for my needs, but if you live out west or even further south, then perhaps the next step up would be wise.

Be careful you get the right product. Don’t buy weed cloth. Get 30 percent shade cloth and this product fit the bill. We put it on last weeks when temperatures were over 100 in our recently planted cactus garden. Next summer when it gets over 100 it will probably be on all the time. 116 was the highest for about a week in July. Then down between 110 and 116. And a lot of plants died. We will probably be getting some next year. Overall a great product

I used the 30% shade cloth to protect my cool weather crops when we got 100 degree temperatures very early. I made a cage over my carrot and celery beds and covered it with the shade cloth. It didn't fray when I cut it, was very strong and easy to use. It's been weeks of very high temperatures but it's cooler under the cloth and my carrots and celery are still doing really well! The clips that came with it are very strong and I'm sure work well to attach if you'reusing wire or cattle panels, but I was using an old greenhouse frame and it was too thick. So I just ziptied it.

This product was light in weight but also less durable than others. It does it’s job of blocking out some sun though.

I put it up across my front porch an it made a big difference on the afternoon sunlight coming in the front door. Could have used 50% but would not have been able to see out as well

The product itself is great, my only issue is I had to purchase more clips to have it properly installed in my greenhouse.
