SUNNY GUARD Shade Cloth Custom Size 14x17 ft - 95% Sun Block

Our review of the SUNNY GUARD Shade Cloth finds it best suited to homeowners and gardeners who need reliable, breathable sun protection for patios, pergolas and poolsides. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of durable, double-reinforced HDPE construction and heavy-duty copper grommets that make installation straightforward and long lasting. In practice it blocks about 95% of sunlight while remaining breathable so plants and people get air flow without full darkness, which is ideal for everyday outdoor shading needs.

Key Features

• 95% Sun Block: The fabric blocks most direct sunlight to reduce heat and glare while still allowing diffuse light for visibility and plant health.
• Durable HDPE Construction: Knit HDPE resists tearing and abrasion, providing a long service life for seasonal or year-round outdoor use.
• Double Reinforced Edges: Each edge is reinforced to reduce fraying and improve resistance to wind stress where it is mounted.
• Copper Grommets Every 2 ft: Rust-resistant metal grommets spaced every 2 ft simplify hanging and securing the cloth reliably.
• Breathable Design: The shade fabric permits airflow so covered areas stay cooler and plants receive ventilation.
• Customizable Size Options: The product can be customized to specific dimensions for a neater fit on pergolas and patios.

Who It's For

This shade cloth is aimed at homeowners, gardeners and DIYers who want a sturdy, low-maintenance cover for pergolas, patios, pools, carports or garden beds. It suits people who need significant sun reduction but still want some light and airflow for comfort and plant health.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers seeking a fully opaque blackout tarp or a decorative fabric with heavy insulation value; this product is designed for shade and breathability rather than total light exclusion or high thermal insulation.
