Grow1 Greenhouse Shade Cloth - Dark Green - 50% Light Deprivation - 20 x 100 ft

Cut Light Stress Over Large Growing Areas - 20 x 100 ft Roll

Strong light can stress plants and push up temperatures under a greenhouse roof or in an open bed. This knitted dark green cloth blocks 50% of incoming light, so you can soften exposure over vegetative growth or flowering areas. The knitted polyethylene construction is built for repeated seasonal use and lets air pass through.

At 20 x 100 ft, this roll suits growers covering a full greenhouse bay, a long row of beds or several hoop structures. Home gardeners with smaller spaces can cut it down to fit, while commercial operations can use it over larger areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does 50% light deprivation mean?
A: It means the fabric blocks about half of the light that would otherwise reach the plants beneath it. The rest passes through the knit.

Q: What is HDPE?
A: HDPE stands for high-density polyethylene, a tough plastic used to make durable fabrics. Here it is knitted into the cloth.

Q: Does the knit allow airflow?
A: Yes, the knitted construction is designed to let air move through. This helps limit trapped heat under the cover.

Q: Can I cut it to a smaller size?
A: Knitted shade cloth is commonly trimmed to fit a structure or bed. Secure the cut edges so they do not loosen over time.

Q: How is shade cloth different from a solid cover?
A: Shade cloth reduces light while letting air and some moisture pass. A solid cover blocks light and airflow more completely.
