ColourTree 8ft x 21ft Red Custom Size Waterproof Shade Cloth

In this review the ColourTree 8' x 21' red waterproof shade cloth is evaluated for pet owners and small-farm users who need a single cover that blocks sun and sheds rain. The bottom line: this tarp is best for people who want a durable, breathable cover for kennels, coops or greenhouse shade that also keeps animals dry. As a reviewer, the immediate standout is the combination of shade and waterproof performance in one lightweight piece that installs quickly and can be customized to fit odd sizes.

Key Features

• Dual protection: Combines 90% sunblock and a waterproof surface so pets stay cool and dry without needing separate covers.
• Durable fabric: Made from 220 GSM 100% virgin polyethylene to resist tearing and stand up to outdoor wear and UV exposure.
• Portable design: Lightweight construction makes it easy to move between runs, travel locations, or storage when not in use.
• Easy installation: Grommets around the edge allow quick attachment to most standard pet cages, fences or frames with minimal effort.
• Custom sizes available: Can be made to order in the US for nonstandard openings, so users can get a neat fit rather than forcing a generic tarp.

Who It's For

The ColourTree shade cloth suits dog owners, backyard poultry keepers and small greenhouse users who need both sunblock and waterproofing in a single cover. It is particularly useful for those who value privacy and airflow while maintaining weather protection over a run, kennel roof or fence section.

It is less appropriate for users who require heavy-duty canvas or insulated covers for extreme cold or for those who need a decorative solution; this is a functional, performance-focused mesh tarp rather than a decorative curtain.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Effective combination of shade and waterproof protection for variable weather.
• Strong 220 GSM virgin polyethylene fabric offers good long-term durability.

• Custom sizing and grommets make it adaptable to many applications and quick to fit.

Cons

• Lightweight construction means it is not a heavy insulated cover for extreme cold protection.
• Color and mesh style prioritize function, so aesthetic appeal is secondary.
