Shade cloth AWTools AW67282 — garden/sun protection fabric, weight 13.5 kg

AWTools AW67282 shade cloth is a sun-protection fabric made of polyethylene with a total weight of 13.5 kg, designed for outdoor garden use. It provides shading to reduce direct sunlight, helps moderate temperature and light levels around plants and outdoor living spaces, and includes mounting eyelets on the top and bottom for secure attachment. The material is UV resistant and built to withstand wind and dust exposure while offering privacy screening for terraces, balconies, pergolas and greenhouses.

Advantages

The polyethylene construction makes the fabric sturdy and durable while remaining relatively lightweight for handling and installation. UV resistance extends the service life under prolonged sun exposure, and the integrated eyelets on top and bottom simplify fixing the sheet to frames, poles or ropes. The shade cloth reduces solar radiation and heat, protects crops and ornamental plants from excessive sunlight and limits wind-driven dust ingress without altering soil or irrigation practices.

Suitable for

• Shading patios, terraces and balconies
• Covering pergolas and outdoor seating areas
• Protecting plant beds and greenhouse sections from strong sunlight
• Temporary screening of fences and work areas
• Wind and dust protection for crops and outdoor equipment

Key specifications

• Material: polyethylene
• Total weight: 13.5 kg
• UV resistant fabric for outdoor use
• Mounting: eyelets on top and bottom for fastening
• Functions: shading, temperature and light reduction, privacy screening, protection from wind and dust

How to use

Select an installation area that provides the desired shading angle and attach the shade cloth using the pre-installed eyelets. Secure the top and bottom eyelets to a fixed structure such as posts, frame, pergola beams or rope lines, keeping the fabric tensioned to reduce flapping in wind. Overlap edges if multiple sheets are used and fasten overlaps to avoid gaps. Position the cloth at a height and orientation that balances shade and airflow appropriate for the plants or space being protected.

Usage recommendations

Inspect mounting points periodically and retension fittings after strong winds. Clean the fabric gently with water and mild detergent if dusty; avoid aggressive abrasives or solvents. For long-term performance, ensure good airflow behind the cloth to reduce moisture buildup and check UV-exposed sections for wear over time.
