• Horticultural Grade Monofilament: Knitted from heavy-duty 180GSM mono-yarn for maximum strength and superior resistance to tearing and environmental pollutants.
• Advanced UV Stabilisation: Treated with high-quality inhibitors to prevent brittleness and degradation, ensuring the cloth remains flexible and effective for many years.
• Weather & Pest Protection: Acts as a reliable break for heavy wind and driving rain while providing a physical deterrent for larger pests and birds.

Installation & Best Practice

To ensure the maximum lifespan and effectiveness of your 50m shade cloth roll, follow these professional tips:

• Structural Tensioning: Pull the cloth taut over your support frame to prevent "flapping," which can cause mechanical wear and friction damage over time.
• Secure Fastening: Use specialised shade cloth clips, pins, or timber battens to fix the edges. The lock-stitch knit ensures the material will not unravel if punctured.
• Maintenance: Occasionally hose down the cloth to remove dust and organic buildup, maintaining optimal airflow and filtered light for your crops.

Ideal Applications

• Commercial Shade Houses: Providing a uniform microclimate for large-scale production of shrubs, perennials, and hardy ornamentals.
• Nursery Production: Safeguarding sensitive tubestock and seedlings from the peak intensity of the summer sun.
• Vegetable Production: Protecting leafy greens, brassicas, and other crops from heat-induced bolting or sunscald.
• Landscape Projects: Creating natural-looking privacy screening, windbreaks, or temporary fencing for horticultural sites.

FAQs

Is 50% green shade cloth suitable for all plants?
50% is a highly versatile grade used for most general nursery stock. However, for extreme shade-lovers like ferns, a 70% grade may be better, while sun-loving vegetables may prefer a 30% grade.

Will this cloth fray if I cut the 50m roll into shorter sections?
No. The monofilament lock-stitch design is specifically engineered not to fray or unpick when cut, allowing you to easily tailor the cloth to various lengths with standard scissors.

Why choose Green over Black or White?
Green is traditionally chosen for its natural look in the landscape. While black is often used for longevity and white for maximum cooling, green provides a great middle-ground for general horticultural use.
