      Supposed to be 50% but isn't

            Comments about Shade Cloth 50% Shade:

            I have used shade cloth for about 30 years , so when I put up this item, right away I sensed something wrong. When I use 50% cloth , I can feel sharp a drop in temperature compared to full sun. This did not happen with this item. I actually cut out a segment of my other cloth and compared the density of the net. The weave of this item was obviously less thick. I thought that perhaps the wrong cloth was sent , but the replacement that Gempler was so considerate in sending was also unsatisfactory. I don't know how one can verify this professionally, but this is my personal opinion.

            Beware of the seam

            Comments about Shade Cloth 50% Shade:

            This is a great product that I have used for a bird shelter. However, the last two times I have ordered the 12-foot width, it has come as two 6-foot widths sewn together with a seam down the middle. In past years, there was no seam and worked better for my use.

                Comments about Shade Cloth 50% Shade:

                Since I live in Arizona, I only have a shade cover for my horses(no enclosed barn). I did feel the need for sun protection on the West side of the shed, but did not want to restrict air flow. This shade cloth is perfect. Blocks the sun, yet allows plenty of air through. It was easy to hang with snap ties.

                As a bonus, it also keeps the flies out!
