ColourTree 6ft x 21ft SandBeige Custom Shade Cloth - 90% Sunblock

In this review the ColourTree 6' x 21' SandBeige custom size shade cloth is evaluated for pet owners and small-farm users who need effective sun protection without trapping heat. The bottom line: it is a practical, breathable cover that blocks up to 90% of sunlight while allowing air and water to pass through, making it especially useful as a dog kennel cover or greenhouse screen. The fabric is durable and comes with evenly spaced grommets for straightforward installation, and the option for custom sizes means it fits odd-shaped runs and enclosures.

Key Features

• Permeable HDPE fabric: The woven material lets air and water through so it reduces temperature buildup while still providing strong sun protection.
• High sunblock: Rated to block up to 90% of sunlight and UV, it keeps kennels and coops significantly cooler during hot days.
• Grommeted edges: Grommets spaced along the perimeter make it easy to secure the cloth with zip ties or rope for a snug fit.
• Custom sizing available: Made in the US in special sizes on request, so it can be tailored to unique kennel, fence, or greenhouse dimensions.
• Durable mesh construction: The HDPE weave stands up to outdoor use and provides privacy and wind break without becoming a solid tarp.

Who It's For

The ColourTree shade cloth is best for dog owners, small livestock keepers, and gardeners who want shade and airflow rather than a waterproof cover. It is ideal for users who need a breathable roof for a kennel, a privacy screen for a fence, or a heat-reducing cover for a chicken coop or pet playpen.

It is not for buyers who need a waterproof tarp or complete blackout privacy; the fabric is permeable and not fully opaque. If you need a solid, waterproof canopy or total light blockage, a different product would be more appropriate.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Effective sun and UV reduction up to 90%, helping lower enclosure temperatures.
• Breathable HDPE weave that allows water and airflow, reducing heat accumulation.
• Evenly placed grommets simplify installation and attachment with zip ties.
• Custom size options for uncommon or large enclosures, made domestically.

Cons

• Not waterproof, so it will not keep rain out of an uncovered area.
• Not 100% blackout; some light and visibility remain through the mesh.
