ColourTree 5 ft x 12 ft Turquoise Waterproof Shade Cloth - Dual

In this review the ColourTree 5 ft x 12 ft turquoise shade cloth is judged as a practical solution for pet owners who need a single cover that blocks sun and sheds rain. The main reason to buy is its dual protection: a 90% sunblock mesh with a waterproof backing that keeps pets comfortable and dry without buying separate covers. The reviewer found it straightforward to handle, durable in outdoor conditions, and well suited for kennel roofs, fence privacy screens or portable pet playpens.

Key Features

• Dual protection: Combines shade and waterproof performance so pets stay cooler in sun and dry in light rain without switching covers.
• Durable fabric: Made from 220 GSM 100% virgin polyethylene for resistance to tearing and longer outdoor life compared with thin tarps.
• Portable design: Lightweight construction makes it easy to move between yards or pack for travel and outdoor events.
• Easy installation: Preinstalled grommets and a simple shape let it attach to most standard pet cages and fence structures with minimal effort.
• Custom sizing available: Can be ordered in special sizes when the standard 5 ft x 12 ft option does not fit the intended kennel or cover area.

Who It's For

The ColourTree shade cloth is best for dog owners, small livestock or poultry keepers who need a combined shade and waterproof cover for kennels, coops, and outdoor pens. It suits people who value breathability and privacy while reducing heat inside shelters thanks to the 90% sunblock.

It is less suitable for those who need heavy-duty stormproof roofing or complete blackout coverage; for extreme weather roofing systems or fully enclosed waterproof canopies a specialized rigid roof or multi-layer shelter is a better choice.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Provides effective sun protection and privacy while still allowing air flow to prevent heat buildup.
• 220 GSM virgin polyethylene gives a noticeably tougher feel and better longevity than lightweight alternatives.
• Multifunctional use as a kennel cover, fence screen, greenhouse shade or coop roof increases value for money.

Cons

• Not intended as a full structural roof for severe storms; best for shade and light rain protection only.
