50% vs 90% Blockout Shade Cloth

Choosing between 50% and 90% blockout depends on your application:

  • 50% blockout — allows more light and airflow through, ideal for plants that need some sun exposure, temporary fence privacy screening, and general outdoor use
  • 90% blockout — provides maximum UV and heat protection, ideal for patios, animal shelters, and areas requiring strong sun reduction
