How to use
Unfold the shade cloth and position it over the area to be shaded. Secure the top eyelets to a supporting structure such as a frame, pergola or fence using ties, hooks or carabiners; then fix the bottom eyelets to prevent wind lift. For greenhouse or crop protection, mount the cloth at a sufficient height to ensure ventilation and avoid contact with plant foliage. Trim or adjust overlap at edges as needed and check that all fastenings are taut to maintain a consistent shaded surface.
Usage recommendations
Inspect mountings and fabric periodically for wear, especially after strong winds. Clean the cloth with water and a mild detergent if dusty; avoid abrasive cleaners. When storing, dry the fabric completely to prevent mildew and fold or roll it to minimize creases. For prolonged UV exposure, consider replacing the cloth according to observed fading or reduced shading effectiveness.
