90% Shade Cloth – Heavy Duty

Description

90% Shade Cloth – Heavy Duty Outdoor Shade

The 90% shade cloth in heavy duty grade is a UV-rated outdoor shade cloth that blocks 90% of direct sunlight. This shade cloth 90 suits applications where maximum UV protection is the priority. It is ideal for covered car parking areas, industrial shade structures, privacy screening, and plant nursery use where strong, consistent shade is needed. The heavy duty grade delivers near-total sun exclusion while still allowing air circulation beneath the cloth.

This shade cloth 90 uses knitted construction with UV-stabilised material. The knitted edge does not fray when you cut the cloth to size on-site. The heavy-duty weave provides greater fabric strength than 50% or 70% grades, making it suitable for exposed or high-wind locations. A heatset finish helps the cloth hold its shape and colour over an extended outdoor service life in Australian conditions.

Why Choose 90% Shade Cloth?

First and foremost, shade cloth 90 delivers the highest level of UV protection available in our shade cloth range. Furthermore, the heavy-duty weave handles greater wind load than lighter grades, making it suitable for exposed outdoor positions. As a result, 90% shade cloth performs reliably in locations where lighter grades would fail under sustained wind pressure. In addition, the near-total sun exclusion makes this grade ideal for car and vehicle protection from UV damage. According to Standards Australia, UV-stabilised shade materials provide the longest service life for permanent outdoor shade installations in Australian conditions.

Installation Tips for Heavy Duty Shade Cloth

Before installation, confirm your supporting structure can handle the wind load on the full cloth area. Then, tension the cloth firmly across the frame using heavy-duty shade cloth clips or stainless steel tie wire. In addition, add extra fixings at corners and along all edges where wind uplift is greatest. Finally, inspect the cloth and all attachment points after strong wind events to identify any areas where re-tensioning is needed.
