e.share 40% Shade Cloth for Garden, 12 Ft X 6 Ft Sun Shades Outdoor Patio with Grommets for Plant Covers,Porch Screen,Pergola Shade Cover,Greenhouse,Black

The grommets are ripping out at the anchor points after only a few weeks of use. I suppose if you have a place were you can weave a rope through it and suspend it entirely, it may fair better, but otherwise its very fragile. The cloth material feels cheap and it rips easily. I noticed one grommet was missing entirely, manufacture defect.Overall, its a cheap product. Its close enough to the size I wanted, though I suspect a custom cut piece of cloth from a respected vendor would be of higher quality, though several hundred dollars more expensive. This is cheap enough to be disposable after a few years. It isn't perfect, but it makes shade and keeps my plants from scorching. I have since added some additional support ropes and anchored it at more points.It may actually be cooler inside my greenhouse than outside because I have double shade cloth on it.It was a 3/5 star but I'm bumping it to 4/5 stars. I MAY buy again, its not very high quality or durable but if you put it over a hoop house, rather than suspended like I have it, it will probably last a while.Reinforce the corners and put three grommets on each corner! That will solve the ripping.Update: 2020/08/17I bought it again, although a smaller piece. Since the reviews are all combined together, I suppose I have to amend this one.Changing from 4/5 to 5/5 stars. I put some holes in my 48' piece and have since transferred it to a high tunnel where it should provide several years of shade. I have shopped around other value brands and I may have been too harsh on this brand.This cloth (E.share) is a good value for the price and I actually recommend just buying the largest piece available and cutting it to the size you need if you plan to cover a high tunnel with it. Secure it by weaving a rope over the entire high-tunnel with the shade cloth under the rope and fraying probably won't be much of a concern if you decide to cut it. I haven't cut my 48' piece, but its secured in the manner stated.This shade cloth has many threads to support the cloth weave; while other brands don't. The outer border is stronger than other brands. So far, my generic "netted tarp" from TSC has lasted for years and still has every piece of shade cloth beat in terms of construction.I would absolutely avoid Winemana shade cloth, that brand is flimsy as flimsy gets; it was one of the alternatives I checked out and I would take the E.share every time over it.I'll probably buy this brand again in the future since I'm putting up more high tunnels.Updated again on 2021/04/08Since I can't leave multiple reviews, I'll amend this one yet again. I suppose just consider it to be two five star reviews. The north's weather wandered down here to the southern coast and started misbehaving; it left a bunch of snow and ice which caused several rips in the larger 48' long shade cloth while trying to collapse my shallow roofed greenhouses. I transferred the old piece (1-2 years old now) to my new greenhouse which is made from salvage and threw the two new pieces on my high tunnel. Shade cloth is shade cloth and I intend to use it until it disintegrates into dust or becomes entirely unusable.The high tunnel is ~30' wide, 36' long and I was surprised to find I didn't have to fight the new shade cloth to stretch it to the needed size like other brands. You actually get the full size shade cloth, maybe a little extra and it blocks the light very well. I overlapped it in the center for full coverage and it fit beautifully. This is my go-to brand now.

01.03.24 Update: Put it on for the third season and it is still performing flawlessly. Okay, it has a tear in it...but that is understandable. The wife lost her footing and fell into the pool with it on and it ripped at the joint in the metal walkway around the pool. Understandable...and the best part is the rip is like 6 inches, not the 48 inches I expected. I know what everyone is going to ask, did she get wet? You bet she did! It stretches, but it certainly did cushion her fall and she didn't touch bottom. Other than that, it is performing quite well, leaves fall on it and blow off in the wind. Three seasons (so far) at the cost of a decent tarp, without having to try to get the water out of the tarp...I'm sold.Original Review: Okay, they didn't intend it as a pool cover. That's okay, I used it for that anyway. Since I have an above ground pool and cannot pry the money out of my wallet for one of those spring loaded, you-can-walk-on-it, covers that cost several thousand dollars, I figured I'd give this a shot. Same theory, let the water through, keep the leaves and stuff out...although you CAN NOT WALK ON IT (you know someone will try, that's why they have stupid labels on lawn mowers not to work on the blades while it is running...someone moron did and blamed the manufacturer).Anyway, it kept all the leaves out, kept the branches out and even kept the seeds out. Heck, it even kept the squirrels out! Going on was easy, coming off was easy. Way, way, way easier than a friggin' tarp!. I used our solar cover reel to keep the middle out of the water and it stayed out of the water for most of the time, until the snow stretched it in one corner and one quadrant was in the water when we opened the pool. I'm still trying to figure out how much I can stretch it (it is stretchy). You might need to reclamp it a few times over the winter.I'll see this fall, but it looked to me like it was in good enough shape to do another season at least, if not two or three more. Really, I didn't see any issues with it. When I need to, I'll buy another. This works great as a pool winter cover to keep leaves and branches out. What is cool, is that the leaves do not congregate, since they stay dry, the wind blows them off...what's not to like.

Overall decent quality and price. No type of connections for tying down. Has held up well so far.

fAST SHIPPING, QUALITY PRODUCT

helpful to my young garden

A very good deal from a reputable company.

I use these for my covered deck for hot Texas summers. The block out the sun extremely well but allows the breeze in. One added feature which I get a kick out of is that due to my proximity to the screen when I’m sitting on my deck, I can see the street and cars driving by but they can’t see me. These have survived the brutal Texas summer and severe rainstorms. Were too far from the Texas coast to evaluate them for the hurricanes but they do install very easily and the grommets have held up wonderfully.I can see the deer in the field 30 yards beyond my screen but my phone camera doesn’t pick it up very well. In the second picture, I’m invisible to them from where they are. Neat.

Shade is great however just trying to get this installed 2 of the grommets ripped out. I have had 3 others and have last at least 2 years and leave out all year snow rain or ice. Cheap product.
