Greenhouse Shade Cloth - 50% White, Extra Strength

50% Heavy-Duty White Shade Cloth – UV-Treated Greenhouse Cover

Reflect heat, protect plants, and extend your growing season.

The 50% Heavy-Duty White Shade Cloth is designed to reduce heat stress by blocking 50% of sunlight while allowing healthy light transmission. Its UV-treated, high-density monofilament knit resists degradation, stretching, and unraveling, even in regions with intense sunlight. The white color reflects more light than black shade cloth, keeping your greenhouse or garden cooler and more productive.

Available in 6', 12', 20', 32', and 42' widths, this fabric provides versatile coverage for hoop houses, high tunnels, and outdoor garden areas. With an 8-year warranty and a 16-year life expectancy, it’s a long-term investment in crop protection.
