Frequently Asked Questions

What are shade tarps used for?

Shade tarps are commonly used for patios, carports, boat docks, boat slips, livestock and cattle shade, fence screens, and other outdoor areas where you need sun and heat reduction with airflow.

What is the difference between 50%, 70%, 86%, and 90% shade tarps?

The percentage indicates how much sunlight is blocked. 50% is often used for utility and landscape applications, 70% for greenhouse, cattle and moderate shade needs, and 86% to 90% for stronger sun and heat reduction.

Are mesh shade tarps waterproof?

No. Mesh shade tarps are breathable and designed for shade and airflow, not full rain waterproofing.

Are shade tarps good for cattle and livestock areas?

Yes. Many customers use higher-shade mesh tarps, typically 80% or more, to help reduce heat and sun exposure in livestock areas.

Can I use shade tarps for boat dock curtains or boat slip shade?

Yes. Shade mesh tarps are commonly used as boat dock curtains and boat slip shade panels to reduce heat and glare while maintaining airflow.

Which shade percentage is best for patios?

For most patio shade setups, 86% or 90% shade tarps are preferred because they provide stronger sun and heat reduction while still allowing airflow. Lower percentages such as 50% or 70% are typically used when you want more light transmission and air ciculation.

Do you offer custom shade tarps?

Yes. Custom shade tarps are available. Contact MyTarp with your size and layout requirements for help selecting material and shade percentage.
