American Knit Shade Cloth can be used for:
Produce Protection
As wonderful as direct sunlight can be for produce, it can sometime be too much. Can be used to help protect against wilting or burning caused from too much sun exposure.
Yard Shade
Protect yourself and others from the sun’s damaging rays. American Knit Shade fabric is lightweight and can be cut with scissors, meaning it can be hung absolutely anywhere with ease. Use Shade Fabric Clips or S Hooks (if it has grommets) for easy installation. For the purpose of privacy, please see our Privacy Shade Cloth.
Pet Shade
Can be used over the top of dog runs or livestock enclosures to protect animals from sun exposure.
Windbreak
Sun isn’t always the problem, sometimes it is wind. Works wonderfully as a windbreak.
Events
Can be used for weddings and other formal events. It is visually pleasing and inexpensive.
Custom Orders
This product can be fabricated to your specifications, using reinforcement tape to ensure the seams will last as long as the material. For all custom orders, please call 1-800-811-7444 or contact us. MINIMUM $75 ORDER.
