40% Garden Shade Cloth, 20x20FT HDPE Mesh Tarp with Upgraded Grommets, UV-Resistant Outdoor Sun Shades for Greenhouse, Garden, Patio Plants, Pergola

Size is perfect to shade a portion of my garden for those delicate vegetables. Gives perfect amount of sun. If you are in a place where summer sun can scorch your delicate plants, this is a great buy. Quality, grommets and functionality are great. Went thru hurricane Helene and Milton with no damage so amazing wind resistance.

Living in a hot climate is terrible for tomato and other plants. In my region, the temperature quickly and regularly exceeds 85 degrees by early day. My tomato plants produced a lot of green tomatoes that would not turn red because of the heat and direct sunlight. I put this shade over the top of my garden and saw instant results in my tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and other plants. The soil was holding a greater percentage of moisture reducing the need for daily watering. Using 40% shade cloth allowed me to leave the product on all day. Traditionally, anything over 40% will require removal in the afternoon.I tied the cloth to six, eight-foot stakes approximately five feet above my tallest plant. The product works best under tension. Six posts provided the right amount of support to avoid a dip in the middle. I used basic 5-50 cord to secure the cloth to the post.The product held up very well in the wind. We had a few substantial wind storms with no problem. Not even the slightest rip.

I put my garden in late this year, and the plants seemed stunted with our early high temperatures. I decided to give this a try. I purchased 2 of the 10x12 size and secured them to my diy garden arches with zip ties either in the grommets or just around the webbing on the edges. I was very pleased with the quality of the edging. This ended up being much easier as a two-person job as the material does get caught on things easily. The temperature difference is noticeable underneath, and I am glad I did it, especially with another heat wave headed our way. It's too early to comment on the effect on the garden yet, but I am pleased with the product quality.

Shades my garden how I need it to prevent sun burn on plants. It's easy to setup and so far has held up on really windy days and in the rain as well.It's amazing how much cooler it is underneath the cover. Recorded 87 degrees outside but 80 underneath the shade tarp.

This is my second summer using this and it has held up nicely. I use this to shade my houseplant that I kicked out of my house once it warmed up enough. The rivets are perfect for staking or using paracord to tie it down. It still lets in a lot of dappled sunlight which is great. It has also been a good deterrent for small animals as well. It is lightweight and large enough for my use. I recommend.

This has really helped my garden this year! Wish I had tried shade cloth before, and this is a really good one. It has held up, it is not faded and I plan on taking it down and using it again next year. I even trimmed it and it didn't Fray or tear up. I would definitely recommend this item.

I just had to share my thoughts on this product with everyone. My plants were having a difficult time (burning) because of the full sun they were getting but, since I put the sun shade in place, they are doing extremely good!!!! Please if your plants look as if they’re dying even though you are caring for them as much as possible, buy this shade and you will see an amazing difference!!!! I absolutely love it and will purchase another 2-3 more!!!

I only gave 3 stars as it really does not cut 40 percent as stated...its more like 15 to 20 percent. It would have been much better if it was not as stretchy, and of grommets were maybe a foot apart. My first plan, using strong PVC fell and came undone at a small bit of wind. My next attempt, using zip ties, a 6 ft chain link fence, and a 3 ft piece of fencing I put up was better. I split some Dollar Tree pool noodles and topped the fences to protect the shade cloth and zip tied it on, and a month later that is holding up fine...but again, not 40 percent shade. It was cheap tho, so really, I reckon it was worth even that much shade. I might buy another to double them, but I will see.
