Aluminum reflective shade cloth
This aluminum shade cloth is layered with several durable insulating fabrics and an outer layer of a highly reflective aluminized shade fabric. This aluminum outer layer helps battle weather damage caused by heat changes. The shade cloth deflects temperature fluctuations while strong enough to endure strong winds and rain. It prevents irradiation damage in plants and fruits and reduces heat in greenhouses during hot days. This reflective shade cloth provides superior year-round climatic protection for flowers, potted plants, and vegetables.
This white aluminum shade cloth is a unique knitted shade fabric made from metalized HDPE (high-density polyethylene). The fibers are produced from mono-oriented HDPE, giving the fiber durability and longevity. After an aluminum metallization process, the films are coated with a special anti-oxidation film.

What Size of Shade Cloth Should I buy?
You will want the cloth to cover from hip to hip (shiny side up) on your hoop house or cover loosely over the desired area that needs protection. Install clips to secure the shade cloth every 24-36". Shade cloth can also be installed using lock channel and spring wire. Check out this video tutorial on how to add shade cloth to a high tunnel greenhouse.

For Dallas MLK Micro Greenhouse Aluminum White Shade Cloth- 50%
Loved it… did everything we had hoped… lower interior temps by 10 or so degrees which is a huge difference when it’s 105 outside and our team is prepping 80 trays of micro greens -

Outstanding So Far
We are a small community garden focused on youth education. The process of deciding what we needed, ordering, and shipping has been outstanding. We’re now in the process of assembling the greenhouse and the online videos and manuals have been very helpful. Everything has been topnotch so far!!

Aluminum shade cloth is a must in scorching Vegas.
Bound edges with lawn chair webbing, Made loops with folded webbing and sewn on. Ordered 70ft, received a generous 74ft to allow for trimming of uneven edges. Super pleased with my custom sized shades. Cheapest price on the web.

This shade cloth saved my early spring plants, which are still flowering 4 weeks later!
This shade cloth saved my early spring plants, which are still flowering 4 weeks later! We had one of those crazy April heat waves, common here in zone 7a. This shade cloth arrived just in time. As air temps reached 85+ degrees F, surface temps in the sun in my beds were 108 degrees F and rising. Shortly after installation, my surface temperature returned to the mid-80s and, the next day...
