More about Shadecloth...
Some Technical Information

Shade cloth, also commonly referred to as Sarlon cloth, greenhouse shade or horticultural shade cloth is a knitted fabric using a polyethylene base material.  Knitted shade cloth is much stronger than woven shade cloth and is suitable for a wider range of applications.  Common uses for our shade cloth include:

• Horticultural usage
• Agricultural applications
• Fencing mesh for cutting visibility and dust
• Scaffolding mesh for the building industry
• Creating shade sails, and shade covers and canopies over pergolas
• And a thousand other uses around the home or yard

Domestic shade cloth refers to shade cloth which has tape-filler knitted into the fabric.  This helps create a higher UV or block out.  We call it domestic grade shade because it isn’t designed for tensioning up over large structures (such as commercial greenhouses).  It still has excellent longevity (up to 10 Year Warranty).

Commercial shade cloth refers to our range of monofilament shade cloths.  What this means is that there is no tape-filler in the cloth.  To get the density, the knit or weave needs to be tighter.  Essentially, monofilament shadecloth is a bit like fishing line tightly knitted together.  The tighter the knit the heavier, and stronger the cloth.  Our heaviest monofilament cloth is our 80% Commercial Grade Shadecloth which has a 306 GSM (grams per square metre) weight.  Compare that for example to a 30% grade monofilament cloth which only has a 90 GSM weight. 

Each grade of shade cloth we sell has a technical specifications sheet.  Just look for the Spec Sheets Tab at the top of the page.
