PEOPLE SHADE
If it’s people you need to shade you may find that 50, 70 & 80% shadecloth
is totally inadequate in the humid tropics. 90% Weathershade is now available in black and
exciting new colours. It’s perfect for shading people and motor cars.
Another way to shade and protect people from rain at the same time is to use a double
skin. Use a waterproof, light coloured membrane then suspend Weathershade above it. The
result can look great and it’s so cool you’ll be amazed!
PLANT SHADE
First thing to remember is that plants only like black shadecloth, not green. You can
use white for flowering plants, but for most of us it should be black and nothing else!
