Aluminet shade cloth at 80% density suits situations where strong heat rejection and near-maximum shading are both required. It blocks most incoming solar radiation while reflecting it away rather than re-radiating it as heat, making it a practical choice for animal enclosures, outdoor structures in extreme climates, and the small range of plants that genuinely thrive in very low light. How aluminet works Standard black or green shade cloth absorbs solar radiation and releases it as heat downward. Aluminet redirects that energy away from the covered area entirely. The result is a noticeably cooler environment underneath, without the heat buildup that solid or woven covers tend to produce. Air circulation The open knit construction allows air to move freely through the fabric. This matters most in enclosures and shelters where ventilation is as important as shade: a cover that traps warm air underneath undermines the cooling effect. The open mesh keeps conditions stable on both sides of the cloth. Shade rate At 80% shading, the cloth intercepts four-fifths of incoming solar radiation while allowing a small amount of diffused light through. That remaining 20% is enough to support photosynthesis in deep-shade plants, but too little for most vegetables, herbs, and fruiting crops to grow productively. What is it good for? 80% aluminet covers the overlap between high-shade plant applications and heat management for animals and structures: Orchids and staghorn ferns: Both are among the few plants that perform reliably under 80% shading. Orchids in particular are sensitive to direct sun and do best in bright but deeply filtered conditions. Staghorn ferns scorch easily and need this level of protection in hot climates. At 80%, aluminet provides the low-intensity light they require while its reflective properties keep temperatures from climbing. Deep-shade ornamentals: Caladiums, certain philodendrons, and other foliage plants adapted to forest floor conditions can handle 80% shade. These are plants where the concern is not light access but heat and UV damage. Propagation and seedling trays: Young plants and cuttings at vulnerable stages benefit from strong shading during establishment. 80% reduces both light intensity and temperature stress while root systems develop. Greenhouses in extreme climates: In regions with very high summer radiation (desert climates, subtropical areas), 80% aluminet is used as an external greenhouse covering during peak season to keep internal temperatures within a workable range. It is removed or swapped for a lighter cloth once temperatures drop. Dog kennels and pet runs: A reliable application at this density. The reflective surface keeps the space beneath significantly cooler than standard shade cloth at the same percentage. Ensure ventilation is maintained and water is always available. Livestock shelters and chicken coops: Heat stress affects animal health and productivity. An 80% aluminet cover over an existing open structure reduces thermal gain meaningfully without cutting off airflow. Patios and outdoor sitting areas: In climates where summer heat is intense, 80% provides near-maximum shade for people outdoors. The reflective surface makes a noticeable difference compared to standard shade cloth at the same density. Carports and parked vehicles: Draped over a vehicle or fixed as a carport canopy, 80% aluminet reduces heat transfer into the cabin. Keep windows open to maintain airflow inside. Not suitable for most vegetable gardens 80% shading blocks too much light for leafy greens, herbs, fruiting crops, and most ornamentals to grow well. If you're shading a vegetable garden or general greenhouse, a lower density between 40% and 70% will give better results. Material and construction These panels are made from aluminized polyethylene (HDPE) using a tape knit construction. The mesh holds its shape across seasons, resists fraying, and keeps its reflective properties under prolonged outdoor exposure. Each panel is hemmed on all sides with reinforced corners and fitted with PVC grommets along the perim
