Royal Shade 9ft x 22ft Blue 90% Shade Cloth - Heavy-Duty Kennel Cover

In this review of the Royal Shade 9' x 22' Blue 90% Shade Cloth, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, heavy-duty sunblock for outdoor animal enclosures and privacy screening that truly prioritizes shade and durability. The cloth delivers a cool shaded area while allowing airflow, making it a strong choice for dog kennels, chicken coops, greenhouse covers, and poolside screening. The most convincing reason to buy is the combination of a 90% shade rate and reinforced construction, which together reduce heat and offer long-term protection from sun damage.

Key Features

• 90% Shade Rate: Blocks most sunlight and UV while still allowing air circulation to lower temperatures in pet and outdoor spaces.
• Wide Applications: Suitable for dog kennels, chicken coops, barns, pools and caravans, giving versatile sun protection for many outdoor uses.
• Durable Construction: Made from high-density polyethylene with UV protection and antioxidants to resist sun and air damage over time.
• Reinforced Edges: All edges have reinforced binding for added strength and to reduce fraying during regular use.
• Easy Installation: Supplied with grommets for securing the tarp quickly to frames, fences, or roll bars.
• Customization Available: Custom sizes can be ordered, allowing fit for nonstandard enclosures and made in the US for quicker turnaround.

Who It's For

The Royal Shade 9' x 22' Blue shade cloth is best for pet owners, smallfarmers and homeowners who need dependable sun protection and privacy for outdoor enclosures. It works especially well for dog pens and chicken coops where heat reduction, airflow, and a durable barrier are priorities.

People who need an exact off-the-shelf architectural fabric for decorative landscaping or precise waterproof tarping should look elsewhere; this product is optimized for shade, airflow and UV resistance rather than complete waterproofing or decorative finishes.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Provides substantial shade and UV protection with a 90% shade rate to lower temperatures.

Cons
