Shade Cloth 70% White – 50m Bulk Roll (1.83m or 3.66m Wide)

Our 70% White Horticultural Grade Shade Cloth in 50-metre bulk rolls provides maximum heat reflection and cooling, specifically engineered to protect sensitive crops from the intense UV exposure of the Australian climate. Manufactured from heavy-duty monofilament with advanced UV stabilisers, this premium 227GSM knitted mesh creates a bright, diffused light environment that effectively prevents sunscald and heat stress for high-value nursery stock.

Key Features and Benefits

• Premium 70% Shade Factor: Provides high-level filtration designed for shade-tolerant species, delicate seedlings, and sensitive tropical plants.
• Superior Thermal Reflection: The high-density white pigment reflects solar radiation, creating a cooler and more comfortable growing environment than black or green alternatives.
• Industrial Strength 227GSM: Knitted from heavy-duty mono-yarn for maximum resistance to tearing, fraying, and environmental pollutants.
• UV Stabilised Longevity: Treated with the highest quality inhibitors to prevent brittleness and degradation over multiple seasons of intense sun.
• Uninterrupted 50m Runs: Bulk roll length reduces the need for overlapping and minimizes waste during large-scale structural installations.

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, keeping the diffused light levels consistent for your plants.

Ideal Applications

• Commercial Fernery & Orchid Houses: Providing the high-level shade and cooling required for tropical and forest-dwelling species.
• Retail Nursery Displays: Keeping customers and sensitive retail stock cool and comfortable during peak summer heat.
• Indoor Plant Acclimatisation: Creating a transition zone for large volumes of indoor plants before they are moved into higher light environments.
• Outdoor Living Areas: Providing a cool, glare-free canopy for large patios, pergolas, or commercial children's play areas.

FAQs

Why choose 70% white over a darker colour for high shade?
White reflects solar energy rather than absorbing it, which leads to much lower temperatures underneath the cloth. At a 70% shade rating, this reflection is critical to prevent heat buildup in enclosed structures.

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.

Is 70% shade too much for standard vegetable crops?
For most sun-loving vegetables like tomatoes, 70% may be too dense. This grade is best suited for leafy greens in extreme heat, or for plants that naturally thrive in filtered, low-light environments.
