Looking for some summer relief? Shade cloth easily reduces air temperatures and allows air flow. It can be as easy as tacking a piece to a wood frame or structure. For a more permanent installation, add grommets to the sides every 2ft. and secure to a sturdy frame with sun resistant twine or rope.
Use it to…
- cover newly planted seedlings or gardens
- create shade on patios
- cover pet areas
- provide shade anywhere it brings relief from the summer sun
It is important to be able to remove shade cloth in case of hurricanes, high winds, or…don’t laugh, snow. Shade cloth is permeable, so water will drip through, but snow like we had a couple of years ago will not. Were it not for the fast thinking (and ladder climbing) of James Gill, our new shade structures would have collapsed under the weight of the snow!
Our 2 types of shade cloth are 6ft wide, in either 60 or 63% shade, in black or green. It’s sold by the linear foot, so you can buy only what you need. So, don’t let summer’s sun keep you indoors…make some shade!
See ya soon,

hi – is this shade cloth article an error? do you sell 60 or 63% shade cloth or did you mean 40 or 63%? I want some 40% – do you ship?
Frances Frizzell says
Can your shade cloth be used as a wind break around a patio/firepit area?
Jesse says
Absolutely – we use it for that purpose here at Gill’s in some areas.
