In persistent temps of above 95F, these tarps saved my plants for sure. Unfortunately, heat and I don't mix well so I literally ran outside, threw the tarps over the plants like you would throw a blanket over furniture, and ran back inside lol! And it still worked great. It didn't really seem to bother the plants, no branches broke, etc.What's cool is the ecosystem the shade covers created!! When I lifted the shade covers to check on the plants, I saw sooo many lizards, lady bugs, ants, etc. just hiding out in the shade. I didn't even think to how the shade impacts other life as well. The temps have cooled down some and I've removed them, and my plants are really now thriving. It's like they really hit the ground running into these lower temps, I've got a ton of new growth and blooms coming along.I think next year I'll buy one more, and use some bendable pipes to create a dome just so I don't look so ridiculous having a tarp haphazardly drapped over my plants haha. But it worked!

I have some of these panels up around my deck to block the sun yet allow me to see through it. This is my 4th summer and it has held up well. A couple of the grommets are tearing out, but with the occasional high winds we get I'm not all that disappointed.So we get temps in the 100s in summer and my raised garden suffers a lot from the heat and usually stop producing until it cools off. This year I bought this shade cloth and some 1/2' pipe and pvc pipe clamps (they are white pvc about 4" long) that I purchased on Amazon. I bent the pipes from corner to opposit corner (2 per box) and tied them together in the center with zip ties. Then spread the shade cloth over them and fastened to the pipe with the clamps. In a week my plants perked up and started blooming again.I clamped the cloth about 18" from the bottom (top of the box) to allow bees to get into the plants to pollinate. It's been a little over a week and my plants are setting squash, zucchini, and beans again. They like the 40% sun blockage. I did remove it for a few days because a big wind storm had everything scrambled up. I found clamps everywhere and pipes off the boxes. Not surprised, but the cloth is just fine. In a couple of days I will put it all back up again. I'm thinking I need to drive 2' lengths of rebar into the corners of the boxes to put the pipe on rather than just pushing the pipe into the soil. MIght be more sturdy.

I setup a garden for the first time this Spring. Summer in Oklahoma rolled around and with it the heat and the stronger UV rays. This was causing a good chunk of my garden to plateau. I put this shade cloth over the portion of my garden with my cucumbers, strawberries, watermelons, lettuce and pole beans. The cloth appears to be blocking the advertised amount of light, but I'm also not going to bother measuring either. My garden has really appreciated the shade and all of my plants are doing much better, especially the lettuce and cucumbers. Part of the cloth covers my tomatoes as well and plants that had not flowered in a while, flowered again.Now, I was worried about wind and storms, especially since we are in the country with no nearby structures to block the wind, but this has held up in 70 mph wind! My strategy for making this not tear up was to only completely tie it down on one side and loosely tie it down on the other to allow for better wind flow in and out. I also unexpectedly had this go through a storm with 70 mph wind while it was loosely tied to my garden fence and it survived fine as well. This was just using some of the plastic green ties I use for trellising my plants, but normally I use yard staples on one side to secure completely. I'll be expanding my garden next year and will be buying more of these. I would definitely recommend this to others. I'll post some pictures of my setup in the near future.1 year later update: this has survived 80+ mph wind, all grommets are still in good shape. The shade cloth hasn't really been put to the test with large hail, but it has been hit with smaller hail and done great.
