6. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is 70% shade cloth recommended for ferns, orchids, and shade houses?

Sensitive understory plants like ferns, orchids, and tropical ornamentals naturally grow beneath a thick tree canopy and easily scorch under direct sun. A 70% density blocks out the harsh solar intensity they cannot tolerate while providing the filtered light and airflow needed for healthy growth.

Will this 30m green roll fray or un-ravel if I cut it to fit my shade house frame?

No. Built with a mono-tape knitted lock-stitch weave, the individual fabric threads are tightly interlocked. You can cut the roll down into custom panel lengths using standard scissors or shears without the edges running or unravelling.

Can I use this 70% green shade cloth to cool animal enclosures or chicken coops?

Yes. The 70% density provides substantial thermal reduction, making it ideal for draping over chicken coops, pet runs, and livestock housing to protect animals from dangerous summer heat stress.

Is this 70% density shade cloth suitable for growing vegetable patches or tomatoes?

No. A 70% blockout filters out too much sunlight for edible crops like tomatoes, capsicums, and leafy greens, which require a lower density (30% to 50%) to fruit and thrive. This 70% green roll is dedicated to shade houses, sensitive ferns, and livestock cooling.
