ColourTree 3 ft x 11 ft Turquoise Shade Cloth - 90% Sunblock

Our review of the ColourTree 3 ft x 11 ft Turquoise Shade Cloth finds it best suited for pet owners and small outdoor enclosures that need durable, breathable sun protection. The single biggest reason to buy is its balance of high sunblock and airflow: the HDPE woven fabric blocks up to 90% of sunlight while remaining permeable so heat and moisture do not build up. It is a practical kennel roof or fence screen when you want privacy and temperature reduction without trapping humidity.

Key Features

• 90% Sunblock: Blocks most direct sunlight and UV to significantly reduce heat inside a kennel or coop.
• Permeable HDPE Fabric: The woven material lets air and water pass through so the covered area stays ventilated and dries quickly.
• Grommet Installation: Evenly spaced grommets make mounting with zip ties or rope straightforward for quick setup.
• Durable Construction: The mesh fabric is designed to withstand outdoor use and regular handling without fraying easily.
• Custom Sizes Available: Made in the US and can be ordered to custom dimensions when the standard size does not fit the space.

Who It's For

This shade cloth is ideal for dog owners using it as a kennel cover or roof, for chicken coop shade, and for pet playpens where privacy and airflow matter. It works well for fence privacy screens and small greenhouse shade where blocking strong sun but retaining ventilation is the priority.

It is not for applications that need complete blackout or full waterproofing; if you need an impermeable tarp or total light blockage, a coated waterproof cover would be a better choice. Also consider larger, heavier-duty commercial shade systems for very large structures.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Effective heat and UV reduction while allowing air flow to keep animals comfortable.
• Good value for money given the durable woven material and practical grommet placement.
• Versatile use as a kennel roof, fence screen, greenhouse shade, or coop cover.
• Custom sizes available and made in the US for a tailored fit.

Cons

• Not waterproof, so it will not keep heavy rain from passing through.
• Not 100% blackout, so it reduces but does not eliminate light entirely.
