Be Cool Solutions™ 40% Aluminet Tape Knit Shade Cloth, Bulk

Grommeted Panel

The edges of these panels are sewn with heavy-duty reinforcing tape. Brass grommets are installed on approximately two-foot centers around the perimeter. They often include a seam where two pieces of shade have been sewn together. The panels are durable and easy to install with ropes, bungees or wire. It’s the most durable solution for smaller areas where the shade cloth will be suspended between four points. Grommeted panels are sold in pre-cut sizes or can be ordered in any custom size.

Precut Panel

A raw piece of shade fabric where the edges of the panel are not reinforced with any tape or grommets. Would not typically have a seam but may have a raw (cut) edge. They can be installed with wiggle wire, shade cloth clips or wooden lath. Precut panels are sold in precut sizes or can be ordered in any custom size.

Bulk (currently viewing)

Sold in factory widths by the linear foot. It would only rarely have a seam and the sides typically include a factory-finished (uncut) edge. The most cost-effective solution for large quantities of shade fabric.

If you're trying to strike a balance between sun and shade for your plants, Aluminet Shade Cloth 40% won't tip the scales. The 60% light transmission provides the right environment for many common vegetables, herbs and bedding plants along with a variety of flowers. Meanwhile, the special metalized HDPE outer layer reflects heat away in the summer and prevents it from escaping in the winter, making your greenhouse temperatures more stable and keeping your climate control system from getting tuckered out.

Our bulk Aluminet shade screen is a money-saving solution for large commercial and teaching greenhouses. It works particularly well for interior installations as a thermal screen or permanent covering. The knitted lockstitch design won't unravel, fray or get tangled even if you leave the edges unfinished. With shade cloth widths from seven to 28 feet, there are options for every grower. We sell Aluminet greenhouse shade cloth by the linear foot with huge volume discounts to lower costs and light levels.
