ColourTree 7 ft x 27 ft Turquoise Shade Cloth with Grommets - Durable

In this review of the ColourTree 7 ft x 27 ft Turquoise Shade Cloth, the bottom line is simple: this is a practical, no-frills shade cover for pet enclosures and outdoor screens that prioritizes airflow and sun reduction over full blackout. It suits dog kennels, chicken coops, greenhouse sides and fence privacy where heat management and privacy matter. The reviewer finds the fabric durable and breathable, and notes the evenly spaced grommets make installation straightforward, while the 90% sunblock rating offers strong UV reduction without trapping heat.

Key Features

• 90% Sunblock: Blocks up to 90% of sunlight and UV to reduce heat and protect animals from direct sun exposure.
• Breathable HDPE Mesh: The permeable woven fabric allows air and water to pass through, improving airflow and lowering temperature inside kennels or cover areas.
• Grommet Installation: Grommets placed evenly along the edges make it easy to secure the cloth with zip ties or rope for a snug, reliable fit.
• Custom Sizes Available: Custom sizing options are offered for nonstandard enclosures, so you can get a near-perfect fit for odd-shaped runs or fences.
• Durable Construction: The heavy-duty mesh material stands up to regular outdoor use and resists tearing when mounted as a roof or side panel.
• Non-waterproof Design: Permeable construction prevents water pooling by letting rain pass through, which helps avoid sagging.

Who It's For

This shade cloth is best for pet owners and small farm operators who need a reliable, breathable cover for dog kennels, chicken coops, greenhouse sides, or privacy along fences. It is especially useful where heat reduction and airflow are priorities rather than complete blackout or a waterproof tarp.

People who need a waterproof shelter or full visual blackout should look elsewhere; this product is explicitly non-waterproof and does not offer 100% blackout. It is, however, a smart choice for those who want a ventilated, durable mesh that reduces sun and provides privacy while letting rain and air pass through.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High sunblock performance reduces heat and UV exposure for animals and plants.
• Permeable HDPE fabric preserves airflow and prevents water buildup during rain.
• Evenly spaced grommets simplify installation and attachment with zip ties or rope.
• Custom sizing option makes it usable for a wide range of enclosures and projects.

Cons

• Not waterproof, so it will not serve as a rainproof roof in heavy storms.
• Not 100% blackout; some light still passes through which may be undesired in certain uses.
