ColourTree 7 ft x 27 ft Grey Custom Size Waterproof Shade Cloth - Dual

In this review of the ColourTree 7 ft x 27 ft grey custom size shade cloth, the bottom line is simple: this cover is for pet owners and small-scale outdoor keepers who need reliable sun and rain protection without bulky weight. The reviewer found it provides the clearest single advantage - combined shade and waterproof protection - so one cover can block strong sun while keeping kennels, coops or playpens dry. It is particularly useful when a durable, breathable tarp is needed that installs quickly and moves easily from place to place.

Key Features

• Dual protection: The fabric blocks sun and stops rain so pets stay shaded and dry with a single cover rather than separate shade and waterproof layers.
• Durable material: Made from 220 GSM 100% pure virgin polyethylene, the cloth resists outdoor wear and holds up under repeated use.
• Custom sizing: Custom sizes are available so customers can order dimensions that fit nonstandard kennels, fences or greenhouse frames.
• Portable design: The lightweight mesh fabric is easy to fold and carry for travel, events or seasonal storage.
• Easy installation: Grommets and a simple layout allow fast attachment to most standard pet cages and enclosures.

Who It's For

This shade cloth is best for dog owners, poultry keepers and small-farm users who need a reliable cover for kennels, coops, fence privacy and pet playpens. It suits people who want both sunblock and waterproofing in a single, breathable fabric that still allows air flow to reduce heat buildup.

Those who need heavy-duty tarpaulin for full structural roofing, insulation-grade barriers, or fire-resistant industrial covers should look elsewhere; this product is optimized for pet and garden use where breathability and portability are priorities.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Combines sunblock and waterproofing so one piece does two jobs and simplifies setup.
• The 220 GSM virgin polyethylene construction offers tangible durability for outdoor exposure.
• Lightweight and portable, making it easy to move between cages, travel sites or storage.
• Custom sizes made in the US help fit unusual cages, run lengths or greenhouse frames.

Cons

• Not intended as a permanent structural roof; heavier roofing materials may be needed for long-term load-bearing installations.
• Limited to sizes ordered; immediate off-the-shelf fits for large custom requests may require lead time.
