ColourTree 10ft x 18ft Red Waterproof Shade Cloth with Grommets - Dual

In this review the ColourTree 10' x 18' red shade cloth is evaluated for pet owners and small-scale outdoor enclosures who need both sun block and rain protection. The single biggest reason to buy is its combined shade and waterproof function: it keeps pets cool and dry without adding bulk or a separate tarp. The material and construction make it a practical choice for kennels, coops, portable playpens and greenhouse panels where durability and breathability matter.

Key Features

• Dual protection: Combines 90% sunblock with a waterproof layer so pets are shielded from harsh sun and light rain in a single cover.
• Heavy fabric: Made from 220 GSM 100% virgin polyethylene to resist tearing and abrasion during regular outdoor use.
• Grommeted edges: Built-in grommets make it straightforward to secure the cloth to kennels, fences or frames for a stable fit.
• Portable design: Lightweight and compact enough to move between sites or store when not required for travel or events.
• Custom sizes: Available in made-in-US custom sizes so buyers can order a dimension that fits an unusual enclosure.
• Breathable: Mesh structure allows airflow that helps reduce heat buildup while still providing privacy and shade.

Who It's For

The ColourTree 10' x 18' cloth is best for dog owners, backyard poultry keepers and people who run small outdoor pet enclosures that need a durable, weather-resistant cover. It suits those who want a long-lasting solution rather than a thin temporary tarp, and those who value breathability as well as privacy.

It is less appropriate for someone needing a decorative patio canopy or a transparent greenhouse glazing; the product prioritizes sunblock and privacy over light transmission, so growers needing maximum light should look at a different cover.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable 220 GSM virgin polyethylene stands up to outdoor wear and resists tearing.
• Effective 90% sunblock that also sheds light rain, helping keep pets comfortable.
• Grommets and lightweight construction make installation and removal quick and practical.
• Custom sizing from the US allows a tailored fit for odd-shaped enclosures.

Cons

• Because it blocks most light, it is not ideal where high light transmission is required, such as for some greenhouse use.
• As a fabric product, heavy prolonged exposure to extreme weather may still require occasional replacement over years.
