5ft x 10ft Beige Custom Size Shade Cloth with Grommets - 90% Sunblock

Our review of the 5' x 10' beige custom size shade cloth finds it best suited for homeowners and pet owners who need a breathable, durable cover that reduces heat and sun exposure without trapping moisture. The single biggest reason to buy is the fabric balance: a permeable HDPE woven mesh that blocks up to 90% of sunlight and UV while allowing air and water to pass through, which makes it practical for dog kennels, chicken coops, greenhouse shade, and fence screening. The cloth installs easily with pre-spaced grommets and can be ordered in custom sizes made in the US.

Key Features

• Permeable HDPE fabric: The woven material lets air and water pass through so covered areas stay cooler and avoid pooling water after rain.
• 90% sunblock: It blocks most sunlight and UV rays to significantly reduce temperature and glare under the cover.
• Grommeted edges: Grommets are placed evenly along the perimeter for straightforward attachment with zip ties or rope.
• Custom sizing: Special sizes are available and made in the US, so the cloth can be tailored to nonstandard openings or enclosures.
• Non-waterproof design: Because it is not waterproof, it is ideal where ventilation and drainage are desired rather than full weather sealing.

Who It's For

This shade cloth is a practical choice for pet owners who need a durable, shaded area for dogs or chickens and for gardeners who want screened shade for greenhouses and plant beds. It is also well suited to homeowners who want a privacy screen for fences or to cover window wells without creating a moisture trap.

It is not intended for users who require a waterproof tarp or complete blackout privacy; if you need water-tight coverage or total light exclusion, a different product would be more appropriate.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable woven HDPE fabric that customers report stands up well to wind and lasting use.
• Effectively reduces sun and heat by blocking up to 90% of sunlight, useful in hot, sunny climates.
• Evenly spaced grommets make installation quick with zip ties and create secure attachment points.
• Custom sizes available, so it fits requested openings without awkward trimming.

Cons

• The fabric is not 100% blackout or waterproof, so it will not fully block visual light or stop heavy rain.
