ColourTree 2 ft x 20 ft Red Waterproof Shade Cloth - Pet Kennel Cover

In this review of the ColourTree 2 ft x 20 ft Red Custom Size Waterproof Shade Cloth, the bottom line is simple: this is for pet owners who need a single, durable cover that blocks sun and sheds rain. The reviewer found it especially useful as a kennel roof or privacy screen where breathability and longevity matter. Its 220 GSM virgin polyethylene material and grommets make it a practical solution for outdoor runs, coops, and temporary shelters without buying separate shade and tarpaulin pieces.

Key Features

• Dual protection: Combines shade and waterproof properties so pets stay cooler and drier without adding a second cover.
• Durable material: Made from 220 GSM 100% virgin polyethylene fabric to resist tearing and withstand outdoor exposure.
• Portable: Lightweight construction lets the cloth be moved, packed and stored easily for travel or seasonal use.
• Easy installation: Preinstalled grommets and a flexible sheet design allow for quick attachment to most standard pet cages and fences.
• Custom sizing available: Special sizes can be ordered, which helps when standard dimensions do not fit a kennel or run.

Who It's For

This shade cloth is well suited to dog owners, breeders and small-farm keepers who need a reliable roof or side cover for kennels, coops and playpens. It works for people who want a breathable privacy screen that still blocks a high percentage of sunlight while also diverting rain.

It is less suitable for those who need a decorative patio awning or a heavy-duty shelter that must support weight or prolonged snow load; for that use a heavier structural tarp or framed solution would be a better choice.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Effective sunblock and waterproofing in a single layer, reducing the need for multiple covers.
• Breathable mesh design maintains airflow so pets do not overheat under shade.
• Good perceived value and sturdiness from 220 GSM virgin polyethylene fabric.
• Lightweight and portable for temporary installations or travel.

Cons

• Not intended to support weight or heavy snow, so it should not be used as a load-bearing roof.
