Coolaroo Outdoor or Exterior

Living in south Florida makes it challenging to have a flowering garden due to the strong sunlight and heat. I have a few 4x4" garden beds I try to grow milkweed in but they wilt everyday I don't water them but yet they don't like alot of water. I also have pineapple plants that don't need much water but still seem to suffer from too much sun. So I built little cages with PVC pipe and hung this fabric with alligator clips across the top. Rain water or hose water comes through easily without crushing plants. I might remove the fabric in the winter time to make sure the pineapple plants get all the sun they need for next year's juicy goodies. The fabric has been up for almost 5 months in full sun and shows no signs of damage or wear so seems very durable. It was easy to cut with regular scissors and doesn't fray in the wind at all. It seems to work very well at protecting my plants without smothering them in shade. This was a reasonable cost to invest in my garden in my opinion.

Super quality and the length of the roll (which sometimes gets scrimped on) was generous. Substancial weight and just what I needed for the job.

I recently purchased a greenhouse and it was way too hot for my plants. Temperatures were reaching over 110°F on a 76°.F degree day. Last year we had a UV index of 12 here in New Mexico. Extremely hot and arid. So I removed some of the ceiling panels in my greenhouse and replaced it with this cloth. What a difference it made! The temps inside my greenhouse now match the weather outside. My plants are thriving once again. Someone left to review on this product comparing the heat inside an insulated oven, turning on the oven light and claiming the temperature won't change? I laughed simply because his analogy does not correlate with the sun and outside weather in a non-insulated situation. The concept is quite simple. If you're outside on a hot sunny day and you stand under a shaded tree, or anywhere in the shade for that matter, the temperature will be significantly cooler than standing in the hot sun with ultraviolet light. Comparing an oven light to the Sun is silly. The white reflects much of the Sun versus any other color so that's a big plus. This product seems to be working great so far and the plants inside my greenhouse Love this. Highly recommended for people that live in places with a higher than average UV index.

This was easy to put up and seems to provide ample shade. it appears to be of good quality and durability as well as appearance. I might buy a second roll to ensure I get the side of my small garden covered. The real test will be the next windy thunderstorm! Update: We had a thunderstorm the same night I installed this and it stayed in place with the clips recommended at the top of purchased. 😁

Looks great . Havent installed yet
