Amgo 6ft x 9ft Turquoise Custom Size Waterproof Shade Cloth

In this review of the 6 ft x 9 ft turquoise shade cloth the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, heavy-duty cover for kennel, coop, greenhouse and privacy uses where strong sun protection and airflow matter. The reviewer purchased a custom-sized piece for a dog run and found it well made, with durable woven fabric and evenly spaced grommets that made installation straightforward. For anyone who needs robust shade that still breathes and drains water, this shade cloth is a smart, utilitarian choice.

Key Features

• Permeable HDPE woven fabric: The mesh construction allows air and water to pass through so the covered area stays cooler and avoids ponding after rain.
• 90% sunblock: The cloth blocks up to 90% of sunlight and UV rays, reducing heat and glare for pets and plants beneath it.
• Grommeted edges: Grommets are placed evenly along the edges for fast installation with zip ties or rope, keeping the cover taut in typical conditions.
• Custom sizing available: The product can be made to order in nonstandard sizes, which is useful for odd-shaped kennels, window wells, or shade frames.
• Durable construction: Customers report the material is sturdy and holds up in wind and sun, making it suitable for long-term outdoor use.

Who It's For

This shade cloth is aimed at homeowners and small-scale animal caretakers who need sun protection with ventilation, such as dog owners covering kennels or playpens, coop keepers protecting poultry, and gardeners shading greenhouses or patio plants. It is especially useful in hot, sunny climates where reducing direct sun and UV exposure matters more than complete blackout.

Those who need a fully waterproof or fully opaque barrier should look elsewhere, since the fabric is expressly permeable and not a total blackout material. If total darkness or impermeable tarping is required for a project, a different product designed to be waterproof would be a better fit.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Well-made, durable woven fabric that customers describe as holding up to wind and sun exposure.
• Allows airflow and drainage to reduce heat buildup and standing water compared with solid tarps.
• Blocks up to 90% of sunlight and UV rays for effective shading of animals and plants.
• Custom sizes and evenly spaced grommets simplify fitting the cloth to specific spaces.

Cons

• The fabric is not waterproof, so it will not keep rain completely out of a covered area.
• It is not 100% blackout, so it will not provide total visual privacy for applications that require complete opacity.
