Check out our Shade Cloth FAQ'sfor additional information.
In windy areas, shade cloth needs to be supported by additional cable reinforcements, regardless of the size of the cloth. With pieces 100 square feet or larger, we advise providing support cables underneath to prevent sagging. Lightweight cable can be run from corner to corner, providing an X for the shade cloth to rest on. For pieces over 400 square feet, lightweight cables running end to end every 4 feet are advised.
All pieces of shade cloth will come with factory seams. Custom orders (including all Shade Cloth) cannot be returned and are not refundable. Please check to make sure the sizes you need are correct before placing the order. Free Shipping applies to the lower 48 states ONLY, no international shipping. Shade cloth cannot ship to PO Boxes, we must have a physical address.
Dimensional Information: Due to this being a knitted material, there exists the possibility of the measurements being within 3-4 inches of the requested dimensions. This happens rarely, but please keep in mind that the possibility exists. We cannot do half inches only whole inches. If it is important that grommets mirror each other you must call to order.
