Shade Cloth AWTools AW67271 70% UV Protection Durable Fabric for Sun and Wind Screening

AWTools AW67271 shade cloth is a woven, durable fabric designed to provide approximately 70% UV protection for sun and wind screening. The material reduces solar radiation while allowing air flow, making it suitable for installation on pergolas, patios, balconies, greenhouses and other outdoor structures. The fabric is cuttable and can be fixed to frames, posts, fences or other supports for residential and light commercial applications.

Advantages

The shade cloth combines sun screening and wind reduction with a robust woven structure that resists tearing under normal outdoor use. Its 70% UV protection level reduces direct sunlight and heat while maintaining partial light transmission, which helps protect plants, furniture and outdoor living spaces. The material is adaptable to different shapes and sizes, easy to trim and attach, and compatible with common fixing methods such as zip ties, clips or eyelets when fitted to a supporting structure.

How to use

Measure the area to be covered and cut the shade cloth to the required dimensions, allowing extra material for fastening. Attach the fabric to a stable frame or existing structure using appropriate fasteners such as zip ties, clips, ropes or eyelets where applicable; ensure even tension to prevent sagging and reduce wind strain. For edges and corners, reinforce fastening points to distribute load and prevent tearing. When used with plants or greenhouse structures, position the fabric to provide the intended balance of shade and light for the specific species or use.

Usage recommendations

Install with adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup beneath the cloth, check fixing points periodically for wear, and remove or secure the fabric in extreme weather. For long-lasting performance, avoid sharp stress points and store dry when not in use for extended periods.
