Shade-Rite Shade & Light Spectrum Management

Shade Solutions and Crop Protection for UV and Heat Sensitive Plants

Shade-Rite is the industry’s choice in quality knitted shade cloth for greenhouses, nurseries and other growers. The lightweight material is made of UV resistant, high-density polyethylene that resists rips, tears and fraying. This lightweight cloth is 20-25% lighter than woven shade cloth with an open lockstitch design to reduce wind speed and heat buildup.
