Custom UV Shade Cloth Tarp Cover - 9oz Vinyl Coated Mesh 80% Solid

Shade cloth is a type of tarp used to block a percentage of the sun's UV rays to provide protection for the soil, plants, animals, people, or equipment underneath. Shade tarps are used for agricultural, industrial, and residential purposes. Shade cloths can be draped over structures like a greenhouse, mounted to the top of something like a pergola, be suspended between a tube frame, or simply staked to the ground for weed or frost control.

All shade cloths from Lookout Mountain Tarp are custom built to match the specifications of your order. Regardless of the fabric type selected, the tarp will feature a 2-ply hem that is reinforced using 2" wide heavy duty polypro webbing sometimes referred to as tape. This webbing is attached using two rows of our black 277 polyester bonded thread which features a 44 lbs breaking strength that is nearly double the industry standard. In the corners, as well as about every 24" around the hem, #2 brass locking spur grommets will be machine punched through the hem to provide extra strength.

This 9 ounce foamed vinyl coated polyester image tex mesh is our most popular shade cloth fabric for frost protection on sports field turf found on golf putting greens, baseball, football, soccer fields, and tennis courts. The fabric's design blocks nearly all frost while allowing enough water, air, and UV to pass through to keep turf healthy during cooler weather. This fabric comes on a 72" roll and will be assembled using heat sealed seams and is available in black, green, and white. The vinyl coated polyester provides a rigid design with virtually no stretch which makes it ideal for projects where precise dimensions are required. As the name "Image Tex Mesh" implies, this material has a matte finish which makes it perfect if you plan to apply a stencil or graphic to the tarp.
