Royal Shade 10 ft x 28 ft 90% Shade Cloth for Dog Kennel - Durable

In this review of the Royal Shade 10 ft x 28 ft 90% Shade Cloth, the bottom line is clear: it is a practical, heavy-duty sunblock solution for outdoor animal enclosures and privacy screening. The reviewer finds it most useful for dog kennels, chicken coops and poolside shade where blocking intense sunlight and UV exposure matters. The cloth's 90% shading rate and breathable weave are the single biggest reason to buy, since they lower temperatures while still allowing wind to pass through for ventilation.

Key Features

• 90% Shading Rate: Blocks most sunlight and UV rays to reduce heat and protect animals from direct sun exposure.
• Breathable Design: The mesh allows air circulation so shaded areas stay cooler without trapping heat or moisture.
• High-Density Polyethylene: Construction with HDPE plus UV additives increases resistance to sun and air damage for longer outdoor life.
• Reinforced Edges: All edges are bound to resist fraying and add strength where the cloth is secured.
• Grommet Attachment: Equipped with grommets for straightforward installation and tying down to a kennel, fence, or frame.
• Custom Sizes Available: Can be ordered to fit specific dimensions when standard sizes do not match an enclosure.

Who It's For

The Royal Shade cloth is best for pet owners, smallholders and landscapers who need heavy shading and privacy for outdoor enclosures such as dog kennels, chicken coops, greenhouse sides and pool areas. It suits anyone who needs a durable, ventilated cover that cuts direct sunlight while still allowing airflow.

It is less well suited for users who need a fully waterproof tarp or expect perfectly spaced industrial-grade grommet placement without occasional manufacturing variation. For those needing a rigid, solid barrier or full rainproofing, a dedicated waterproof tarp may be a better choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this cloth block wind?
It is a breathable mesh designed to reduce sunlight while allowing wind to pass through, so it does not act as a full wind barrier.

Are the grommets spaced regularly?
Grommets are provided for secure attachment and customers report they are generally well placed, though occasional manufacturing variation in grommet seating has been noted.

Is it waterproof?
The cloth is a sunshade mesh meant for shading and privacy, not a fully waterproof tarp, so heavy prolonged rain may still pass through.
