Frequently Asked Questions

What types of plants benefit most from 30% UV block garden shade fabric?

This lighter shade level is ideal for sun-loving plants that still need some protection. It’s perfect for vining fruits, tomatoes, peppers, and plants that thrive in bright but filtered conditions. It's also excellent for transitioning seedlings to outdoor conditions.

How do I install garden shade fabric?

Our garden cover fabric is versatile and can be easily cut and installed multiple ways: stretched over hoops, attached to frames, or suspended above plants. We recommend using our timber fasteners (accessories sold separately) for wooden structures or butterfly clips for wire supports.

How do I know if my plants need 30% or 50% shade fabric?

Choose 30% for plants that love sun but need some protection from peak intensity (like tomatoes and peppers). Choose 50% for plants that naturally grow in dappled or partial shade environments (like lettuce and spinach). If your plants show signs of leaf scorch or wilting despite adequate water, moving up to 50% may be beneficial.

How does garden shade fabric extend the growing season?

By moderating temperature fluctuations during unpredictable spring and fall weather, our garden shade fabrics let you plant earlier and harvest later than unprotected gardens. It creates beneficial microclimates that buffer plants from sudden weather changes.

What are the water conservation benefits?

Using our garden cover fabric reduces soil and air temperature around plants, decreasing evaporation and watering frequency. You'll water less while maintaining healthier plants. It’s a win for both your garden and your water bill.

Can I use garden shade fabric for other applications?

Absolutely. Beyond traditional gardening, our garden cover fabric works well for shade structures over play areas, pet spaces, outdoor workshops, or anywhere you need moderate sun filtering without complete blocking.

Yes. Our garden shade fabric is designed for continuous seasonal use. The UV-stabilized construction prevents degradation even with constant sun exposure, while the tear-resistant properties stand up to typical garden conditions.
