Frequently Asked Questions About Shade Mesh Tarps
What are shade mesh tarps used for?
Shade mesh tarps are commonly used to create shaded outdoor spaces while still allowing airflow. They are popular for patios, pergolas, gardens, construction sites, and fencing.
How much shade do mesh tarps provide?
Shade mesh tarps can block a significant amount of sunlight depending on the fabric density. Many shade mesh tarps provide up to 75% shade coverage while still allowing air to circulate through the mesh.
