Frequently Asked Questions

When would I need a replacement fiber tube core?

Replacement cores are needed when re-rolling cut lengths of shade cloth for storage, when the original core is damaged during handling, or when building a custom shade cloth roll from fabric cut to specific dimensions for your greenhouse.

Can this core be used for materials other than shade cloth?

Yes. The fiber tube core can support any rolled flexible fabric or film material that fits the 3.015in inner diameter standard. This includes row cover fabric, greenhouse film, and other rolled horticultural materials of appropriate weight.

How is the core installed in a shade cloth roll?

Insert the fiber tube core through the center of the shade cloth roll, or begin winding new fabric directly onto the core. The core's rigid structure maintains roll roundness and provides a stable axis for rolling and unrolling the fabric during installation.

What wall thickness does this core have?

The Green-tek Fiber Tube Core has a 3/16in (0.1875in) wall thickness, providing a balance of structural rigidity and lightweight construction appropriate for shade cloth roll support applications.
