What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details conflict or remain unconfirmed: the size is formatted as “1 0'X1 2'” despite the title saying 10' x 12'. UV blocking is claimed as 90% in one section and up to 95% in another. Grommet spacing is given as every 2 inches in one claim and every 2 feet in another. Mounting is listed as both tie-down and hanging. Confirm dimensions, grommet layout, mounting and any accessory inclusion on the selected listing.

Customer feedback highlights perceived sun protection and good build quality, while reports about durability are mixed. Some customers say the cloth withstands strong winds, while others describe edge tearing, and feedback also raises concern about grommets pulling out. For an installation under tension, the reported grommet and edge issues matter alongside the listing's conflicting grommet-spacing claims. Aggregate ratings lean positive overall, but do not establish how well a particular installation will hold up.

Positive themes

Customers describe the cloth as well-made and report effective sun protection.
Some customers consider it good value for money.

Negative themes

Customer feedback reports grommets pulling out when the cloth is hung.

Mixed feedback

Durability feedback ranges from reports of standing up to strong winds to reports of tearing along the edges.

Frequently asked questions

Is this shade cloth waterproof?

No. The listing states “Not Water Resistant,” so it should not be chosen as a rain cover.

What size is this cloth?

The title says 10' x 12', while the size field is formatted as “1 0'X1 2'.” Confirm the selected listing's dimensions before ordering.

How much UV does it block?

One listing claim says 90% UV protection, while another says up to 95%. Treat the exact blocking level as inconsistent in the listing.

Are installation accessories included?

The feature copy claims zip ties, nylon rope and bungee balls, but the supplied package list does not confirm them. Check the selected listing for the actual kit.
