90% Shade Cloth 6ft x 26ft White Custom Size - Kennel & Garden Cover

In this review of the 90% Shade Cloth 6' x 26' white custom size tarp, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, heavy-duty shade and privacy solution for animal enclosures and small outdoor areas. The reviewer finds it ideal for dog kennels, chicken coops and poolside shelters because it blocks most sunlight while still allowing airflow, which keeps the space cooler and more comfortable for pets. Installation is straightforward and the reinforced edges feel durable, making it a dependable cover for seasonal and year-round use.

Key Features

• 90% shading rate: Blocks the majority of sunlight and UV rays to reduce heat and protect animals from harsh sun exposure.
• Airflow-friendly weave: Allows air circulation while shading, helping to lower temperatures inside kennels or coops rather than trapping heat.
• High-density polyethylene construction: Built with UV stabilizers and antioxidants to resist sun and air damage for longer outdoor life.
• Reinforced edges: All edges have binding to reduce fraying and improve tear resistance where the tarp is secured.
• Grommet attachment: Comes with two grommets for simple securing and quick installation on fences, pens, or frames.
• Custom sizing available: Can be ordered in special sizes made in the US to better fit nonstandard enclosures.

Who It's For

This shade cloth is best for pet owners, small-farm operators, or anyone needing a privacy and sun block for dog kennels, chicken coops, greenhouse sides, or small pool areas. It suits people who want a durable, breathable cover that reduces direct sun and provides privacy without entirely blocking ventilation.

Those looking for a decorative patio shade or a fully waterproof tarp for heavy rain management should consider other products; while customers noted the cloth blocks sun effectively, it is primarily a shade and privacy screen rather than a full rainproof cover.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent sun protection with a true 90% shading rate that noticeably cools sheltered areas.
• Durable material and reinforced binding that stand up to regular outdoor use.
• Easy to install and sized accurately for common kennel and coop dimensions.
• Custom sizes available so it fits nonstandard enclosures without excess trimming.

Cons

• Grommet placement can be mixed in feedback, so anchoring points may require adjustment for some installations.
• Not intended as a fully waterproof tarp, so heavy rain may pass through the weave.

Our Verdict
