ColourTree 8ft x 27ft Turquoise Custom Size Shade Cloth with Grommets

In this review of the ColourTree 8' x 27' Turquoise Shade Cloth the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, heavy-duty shade solution for kennels, pens and outdoor enclosures where breathability and sun protection matter most. The reviewer found the permeable HDPE woven fabric blocks up to 90% of sunlight while letting air and water pass through, making it a sensible pick for pet owners who need reliable heat reduction without creating a sealed, non-breathable cover.

Key Features

• High sunblock: The weave blocks up to 90% of sunlight and UV, reducing direct sun exposure for animals and shaded outdoor areas.
• Permeable fabric: Made of HDPE woven mesh that allows air and water to pass through, helping lower temperatures and prevent moisture buildup.
• Grommeted edges: Evenly spaced grommets around the perimeter make installation easy with zip ties or rope and keep the panel secure in wind.
• Durable construction: Customers report good durability and that the material stands up to regular outdoor use, including functioning well as a roof over runs.
• Custom sizes available: The product can be ordered in special sizes, which is useful for nonstandard kennels, fences, or greenhouse panels.

Who It's For

This shade cloth is aimed at pet owners, kennel operators, and small-farm users who need a breathable cover that reduces heat and provides privacy without trapping moisture. It suits people who want a cost-effective way to cool dog kennels, chicken coops, pet playpens or to add privacy to fences and greenhouse sides.

It is not for those who need a waterproof tarp or total blackout-this is a permeable sunblock fabric rather than a waterproof cover. If a fully waterproof or fully opaque blackout barrier is required, shoppers should look for a different material.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Effective sun and UV reduction, reported by customers to improve heat management in covered spaces.
• Breathable HDPE weave allows airflow and water drainage to avoid trapping heat and moisture.
• Evenly placed grommets simplify installation and keep the cloth secured when tied down.
• Custom size options make it flexible for nonstandard enclosures and applications.

Cons

• Not waterproof and not 100% blackout, so it will not fully block wind-driven rain or create complete darkness.
