Wont be using this until summer but very pleased with the product as it seems. It feels very sturdy and the stitching seems to be well done. From all I can tell, it will be able to stand up well to the coastal North Carolina sunshine.

I Just received my 50 shade cloth and I couldnt be happier. It even came with some nylon ties to hold it down if you want. During the hot summer months they are invaluable at protecting your plants from the hot scorching sun. I usually just throw them over my plant beds and secure them with garden hoop clips. The material is breathable and allows air to circulate. The material is also lightweight which means a good wind will blow it away if not tied down in some way. This is a must have for most gardeners.
