Palram - Canopia Shade Cloth for Canopia Greenhouses

The screen went in easily and provided a nice shade and help cool the greenhouse. So far it has done what it was supposed to. The only difficulty was figuring out where to install it for maximum effect. Since it was just installed commenting on durability can't be done.

Definitely keeps my green house from getting too hot.

This shade cloth provides excellent protection from the intense sun of my zone 9A climate. But... if used as-is inside the Palram Balance Greenhouse, you lose head room in the perimeter. I believe it's designed to be thrown over the roof, but that won't work for me. I would have appreciated it if the cloth were precut to fit the wall panels; thereby opening up the sides of the interior. Once I cut the fabric to fit the wall panels and ceiling panels, it will open up the sides and make the headroom fully accessible. Then it would warrant five stars.

This was very easy to install (Palram Harmony greenhouse). My greenhouse is 8x12 so this didn't fit the entire side but it was close enough. I put it on the west side of the greenhouse to block some of the afternoon sun. Before putting this up it was averaging 112-115 degrees on a sunny day. With the shade cloth up, it hasn't gotten above 90 even on very hot days.

I thought I was ordering a bagged kit, just as shown on amazon's website. What I received was a shipping box with a folded length of green shade cloth, a bag of green hangers for the style of greenhouse that I have, a bag of hangers for a different style greenhouse, and an instruction sheet that looks like it was printed from a screenshot. All of this was in the box without any manufacturer's packaging. I was glad I didn't use a razor knife to open the box because the fabric would probably have gotten sliced. For 53 dollars, I had expected finished edges. This has 2 finished edges and 2 raw edges that made a mess when I unfolded it. This is just a length of plastic netting cut from a roll. There are no metal grommets if you're wondering. For this amount of money, I could have gotten twice or more as much cloth on amazon,they just wouldn't have had the Palram name. I can't speak to the quality of the netting because I haven't installed it yet, but it surely can't be worth double the price of the other brands.

Great product very durable works as described

Works as it should, a little pricey.

Despite the fact that it was barely 70 degrees outside, I was registering 105+ temps inside the greenhouse on full-sun days, and that was with the door and window wide open. I set up the shade kit and it has lowered the temps by 10 to 15 degrees. My observations: The directions for setup are very vague. Not that it's rocket science, but no tips or suggestions for best way to use the shade. The shade is not quite as wide as the interior of the greenhouse. Shade is 90 or so inches, greenhouse is 93. So it doesn't quite stretch to either side. The shade uses the planter hangers to secure it into the tracks of the "angled ceiling beams" of the greenhouse. This works fine, however, there are no tracks in the aluminum extrusions that line the wall framing the door and back wall. So you have the shade secured along the middle and hanging down in your face at either end. I improvised by grabbing some small zip ties and threading them through the mesh of the shade then securing them into some empty screw holes in the extrusions along either end. The zip ties also helped accommodate for the fact that the shade was a few inches shorter than ideal. So it's functional, but the design and hanging kit could be improved.
