    Shade Cloth

    It was 111F here this summer so my greenhouse was hot!!!!! Would like a denser one for our unexpected temperatures. Othwise, I do like it, and under more normal conditions, it works great.

    It sounds like you had quite a hot summer! ☀️🌡️ A denser shade cloth might be a good idea for extreme temperatures like that. Overall, we're glad to hear you are happy with it. Stay cool! 😎🌿🏡

    Shade cloth on Sungrow Compact I near Boise, Idaho

    I was concerned about the black color but this shade cloth works well. It fits cleanly over a single set of panels and with its heavy duty grommets it ties down easily. We use it on the outside. Planning on ordering another for the second set of panels, as it definitely lowers the temperatures. Just wish they made one to fit the end panels.

    Very Well Made And Effective

    We ordered 4 panels for our 32 foot Planta Sungrow greenhouse. We installed them inside, below the auto windows, at the top portion using plastic ties, and this worked well. However, we need to add them to the bottom portion of the greenhouse too. The temperature in the greenhouse is below 29 C now,(June) but with hotter weather approaching, we will need to do this. This is a bit pricey, but this product is very well made. Sturdy grommets, and I believe this will last us for many, many years. After reading the multitude of reviews about the poor quality shade cloth that is available to purchase on Amazon, I think Planta's product is well worth the money. We ordered another 4 panels. If you have a smaller greenhouse, of course you will not need as much and it will be more economical. I recommend this product.

    Waiting for summer

    Just got it at the end of the season so I'm waiting for next summer to really see what it will do for my heat build-up.
