COOLAROO 50% UV Block Shade Cloth Fabric Roll for Garden and Greenhouse, 6' x 15', White

I recently purchased a greenhouse and it was way too hot for my plants. Temperatures were reaching over 110°F on a 76°.F degree day. Last year we had a UV index of 12 here in New Mexico. Extremely hot and arid. So I removed some of the ceiling panels in my greenhouse and replaced it with this cloth. What a difference it made! The temps inside my greenhouse now match the weather outside.My plants are thriving once again.Someone left to review on this product comparing the heat inside an insulated oven, turning on the oven light and claiming the temperature won't change? I laughed simply because his analogy does not correlate with the sun and outside weather in a non-insulated situation. The concept is quite simple. If you're outside on a hot sunny day and you stand under a shaded tree, or anywhere in the shade for that matter, the temperature will be significantly cooler than standing in the hot sun with ultraviolet light. Comparing an oven light to the Sun is silly. The white reflects much of the Sun versus any other color so that's a big plus. This product seems to be working great so far and the plants inside my greenhouse Love this. Highly recommended for people that live in places with a higher than average UV index.

I’m in Tucson AZ. This shade cloth keeps my summer garden going through the hottest time of the year. Disperses the light perfectly yesterday brings enough in for healthy plants. I grow cantaloupe and zucchini all through the summer.

I have purchased 30% Coolaroo shade cloth before and like this brand. I needed to get 50% for my veggies while we are experiencing extreme temperatures in CA. After research I learned white is recommended for tomatoes and reduces temperature better. I tried a cheaper one from another company but is was very lightweight and the edges raveled. Returning that one and purchased a second white Coolaroo. Will stick with this brand from now on.

I bought this because the intense heat this summer was ruining my veggies and stunting growth. This provides just the right amount of coverage. It allows the right amount of sun in (my plants are in full sun) and it also allows sufficient water through as well via sprinkler/rain/hose. Great quality. Highly recommend!

My spouse installed this in our greenhouse. What it did that I liked: it reduced the glare of the afternoon sun coming through the glass. What it did not do: it did not help lower the temperature at all. We installed film on the glass (also purchased from Amazon) that performed that function well. Bottom line: satisfied with purchase because it reduced the glare of the sun. I think the name of the product can be confusing, however, because without the film we installed there would be little or no reduction in temp.

I live in Las Cruces, NM and this shade cloth (white) has protected my garden from the heat and extreme UV rays. The weather here is arid desert so it works well.

The last two summers have been extremely hot here in Texas. Without the shade cloth, we would’ve lost all of the vegetable, sweet planted. Some plants did survive to term… some not. we purchased more for this coming summer. We plan on doing a better job of shading….

I thought this would be a thinner, looser material. I still love it!...so bright white...perfect for a sturdier structure than I have right now. I am keeping it. Just disappointed I can't use it now. It's the shade material. It would be perfect to block a side porch. Not so great over a light duty trellis.The edges are finished well too. Wish it was cheaper.
