E.share 40% Shade Cloth for Garden, 20 Ft X 24 Ft Sun Shades Outdoor Patio with Grommets for Plant Covers,Porch Screen,Pergola Shade Cover,Greenhouse,Black

I bought this several months back to go over my greenhouse and decided to wait to write a review until it had been tested. Boy was it tested, I live in the southwest corner of Georgia and on Oct 10th the eye of hurricane Michael came directly over my home. While I lost 100 year old oak trees, my entire roof of my home and a shed flipped over not 50 foot from the greenhouse in substained winds of 114 mph this netting is totally fine, not so much as a corner unraveled.

The grommets are ripping out at the anchor points after only a few weeks of use. I suppose if you have a place were you can weave a rope through it and suspend it entirely, it may fair better, but otherwise its very fragile. The cloth material feels cheap and it rips easily. I noticed one grommet was missing entirely, manufacture defect.Overall, its a cheap product. Its close enough to the size I wanted, though I suspect a custom cut piece of cloth from a respected vendor would be of higher quality, though several hundred dollars more expensive. This is cheap enough to be disposable after a few years. It isn't perfect, but it makes shade and keeps my plants from scorching. I have since added some additional support ropes and anchored it at more points.It may actually be cooler inside my greenhouse than outside because I have double shade cloth on it.It was a 3/5 star but I'm bumping it to 4/5 stars. I MAY buy again, its not very high quality or durable but if you put it over a hoop house, rather than suspended like I have it, it will probably last a while.Reinforce the corners and put three grommets on each corner! That will solve the ripping.Update: 2020/08/17I bought it again, although a smaller piece. Since the reviews are all combined together, I suppose I have to amend this one.Changing from 4/5 to 5/5 stars. I put some holes in my 48' piece and have since transferred it to a high tunnel where it should provide several years of shade. I have shopped around other value brands and I may have been too harsh on this brand.This cloth (E.share) is a good value for the price and I actually recommend just buying the largest piece available and cutting it to the size you need if you plan to cover a high tunnel with it. Secure it by weaving a rope over the entire high-tunnel with the shade cloth under the rope and fraying probably won't be much of a concern if you decide to cut it. I haven't cut my 48' piece, but its secured in the manner stated.This shade cloth has many threads to support the cloth weave; while other brands don't. The outer border is stronger than other brands. So far, my generic "netted tarp" from TSC has lasted for years and still has every piece of shade cloth beat in terms of construction.I would absolutely avoid Winemana shade cloth, that brand is flimsy as flimsy gets; it was one of the alternatives I checked out and I would take the E.share every time over it.I'll probably buy this brand again in the future since I'm putting up more high tunnels.Updated again on 2021/04/08Since I can't leave multiple reviews, I'll amend this one yet again. I suppose just consider it to be two five star reviews. The north's weather wandered down here to the southern coast and started misbehaving; it left a bunch of snow and ice which caused several rips in the larger 48' long shade cloth while trying to collapse my shallow roofed greenhouses. I transferred the old piece (1-2 years old now) to my new greenhouse which is made from salvage and threw the two new pieces on my high tunnel. Shade cloth is shade cloth and I intend to use it until it disintegrates into dust or becomes entirely unusable.The high tunnel is ~30' wide, 36' long and I was surprised to find I didn't have to fight the new shade cloth to stretch it to the needed size like other brands. You actually get the full size shade cloth, maybe a little extra and it blocks the light very well. I overlapped it in the center for full coverage and it fit beautifully. This is my go-to brand now.

We just installed this over our Arizona garden a few days ago. Then we got hammered by a micro burst, complete with hail, today. The shade cloth held up perfectly and protected our plants. Sadly the wire we used to install it did give out and took a tomato plant with it near the end.I did reinforce the grommets with Gorilla tape (see photos). But I do this with every tarp we've ever purchased (using electrical tape before there was Gorilla tape); the fabric usually gives out before the grommets do and it takes less than an hour of my time to make tarps last for several years.

Worked as expected. I was happy that there were lots of grommets around all the edges. Using it in Haiti to protect plants from the noonday sun.Update: I went back to Haiti to check on the garden and I'm happy to report that it has held up well to the sun and storms last year with little wear.

My husband and I built a garden enclosure out of pvc and netting to keep our vegetables safe from critters while they grew. However, as all So Cal residents are aware, it soon became way too hot out there for both gardening and actual plant growth. I went on the hunt for 40% shade cloth to put over the top, and came upon this one. When it arrived, it was packaged nicely and unfolded equally as nicely! It was a cinch to put up, and the material that it's made out of really made it a win because we could loop tie downs through it to attach it to the frame. I'm quite pleased! I hope this lasts me for a few seasons more.

This was used to provide shade for my brassicas and tomatoes. For my purposes it was useful to use scissors to cut the sheet into three lengths about 24" wide. The grommets slipped onto the poles easily and I tied the other side with zipties to make a shade for the toms. The remaining center piece I used for the cabbages and cauliflowers draped across poles pushed in at a fifteen degree angle. Then we got 95 degree July sun. The 40% shade was perfect as everything gets the first two and last two hours of direct sun and the mid day under shade. The fabric weave is strong enough to stay secure using zip ties where there were no grommets. The material seems sturdy enough to last several years. Good buy!

I have a yard that in the Summer is pretty much nothing but Sun for many, many hours making it impossible to sit outside without roasting to death. I have purchased other 20x10 shade cloths that have worked well but when you need to cover many large areas the price gets to be unjustifiable. So I thought I would give these a try and honestly I think they block out more Sun and create more shade than the higher priced ones I have. One concern I have, and that is why I didn't mark the 'durability' section, is that the texture immediately makes me think they will not last more than 1 season. Since this is my 1st year trying them out I can't give my review on that yet, time will tell if they will hold up to the pending brutal days of 100+ degree days that are soon to arrive. All in all, I like the shade coverage and how easy they are to put up. I did choose to use Bungie Balls to install mine instead of the zip ties they sent along only because I like to be able to take it down easier and move it as necessary.

Bought this to cover the length of my balcony as a drape. Works beautifully. Soon as we set it up the balcony went down a few degrees. The material is open enough that you can see through, but closed enough that bugs aren't crawling through. The grommets go completely around the product so we used hooks on the ceiling, but also some hooks on the wall to keep it still.Makes the balcony feel like a separate room with privacy.Absolutely love it! Will update if anything changes.

*update, this has held up 2 summers through hails storms 100km winds. I recommend this to everyone with trampolines!!!Put this up over our trampoline and am extremely happy with this, the price, shipping time everything was great. Not sure the durability as I only just put it up but so far it's perfect

I used a PAR meter to measure full sunlight with and without the shade cloth and determined it was approximately 80% not 40%!! It's likely going to be too much shade for my plants.

For the price, great product. Bought another brand on here that was literally falling apart just from being unpacked. This is a Cadillac in comparison. Nothing approaching commercial quality, but I expect it will last a few seasons. Delivery was fast.

This product came in the middle of multiple heat waves, it did the job and protected my plants from frying. The size was the biggest I could find on amazon and will probably buy more in the future as my garden expands.
