Royal Shade 9ft x 21ft SandBeige 90% Shade Cloth - Kennel & Coop Cover

In this review of the Royal Shade 9' x 21' SandBeige 90% Shade Cloth, the bottom line is simple: this tarp is for pet owners and small livestock keepers who need reliable sun and privacy protection with good airflow. The reviewer found the shade rate and build quality to be the single biggest reason to buy, because it blocks most sunlight and UV while still allowing ventilation, which keeps kennels, coops and small outdoor shelters noticeably cooler.

Key Features

• 90% Shade Rate: Blocks most sunlight and UV rays to reduce heat and protect animals while still permitting air circulation.
• Durable Material: Made from high-density polyethylene with antioxidants and UV protection for long-term outdoor resistance.
• Reinforced Edges: All edges have reinforced binding that helps resist fraying and improves strength where it is mounted.
• Easy Installation: Supplied with grommets for securing the cloth; the reviewer found installation straightforward for typical kennel and coop setups.
• Wide Applications: Works for dog kennels, chicken coops, greenhouses and pool areas, providing flexible sun and privacy protection across outdoor uses.
• Custom Sizes: Custom sizing available and made in the US, useful when off-the-shelf dimensions do not fit a specific enclosure.

Who It's For

This shade cloth is best for homeowners with dog pens, chicken coops, small animal barns or backyard pools who need a durable cover that reduces sun exposure and offers privacy. It is also a good fit for people who value airflow and do not want a solid tarp that traps heat.

It is less appropriate for large commercial operations that require industrial-scale shade systems or for buyers who need full waterproofing as the product is designed primarily for sun and UV protection rather than as a heavy waterproof tarpaulin.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High 90% shade rate effectively lowers temperatures and protects animals from UV exposure.
• Sturdy high-density polyethylene construction with UV inhibitors increases lifespan outdoors.
• Reinforced edges and grommets make mounting secure and improve durability at attachment points.
• Versatile use across kennels, coops, greenhouses and pool areas; custom sizes available for special fits.

Cons

• Grommet placement drew mixed feedback from customers, so spacing may not suit every mounting layout.
• Not intended as a fully waterproof solution, so heavy rain protection may be limited.
