ColourTree 6 ft x 21 ft Blue Shade Cloth with Grommets - 90% Sunblock

In this review of the ColourTree 6 ft x 21 ft Blue Shade Cloth, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, heavy-duty shade cover for outdoor pet areas and enclosures where sun protection and airflow matter most. The reviewer found it especially useful for dog kennels, chicken coops and greenhouse shade because the fabric blocks up to 90% of sunlight while remaining permeable enough to allow air and water through. This balance of privacy, heat reduction and durability makes it a useful addition for owners wanting a functional cover without full blackout.

Key Features

• 90% Sunblock: Blocks most UV and direct sunlight, significantly reducing heat in covered areas while protecting animals and plants from harsh rays.
• Permeable HDPE Fabric: The woven mesh lets air and water pass through, preserving ventilation and preventing water pooling after rain.
• Durable Construction: Made of heavy woven material designed to hold up outdoors and withstand regular use as a kennel roof or fence screen.
• Grommeted Edges: Evenly spaced grommets make installation straightforward with zip ties or rope and keep the cover secure under wind.
• Custom Sizes Available: Available in custom sizes made in the US, so it can be tailored to fit non-standard kennels, pens or fence panels.

Who It's For

This shade cloth is aimed at pet owners and small livestock keepers who need a breathable cover that reduces heat and provides privacy without blocking airflow. It works well as a kennel roof, pen divider or privacy screen on fences where animals need shade but also ventilation.

It is not for applications requiring full waterproofing or total blackout; customers who need a sealed tarp for rain protection or a complete light block should consider a different material. Those needing decorative or lightweight sun sails for occasional use may also prefer a different option.

Pros & Cons
