Comparison

• Vs 70% shade cloth: 70% shade cloth provides less sun blocking and more airflow, and is often used for livestock and cattle shade. 86% shade mesh provides stronger sun blocking and is typically better for people, pets, dogs, and patio comfort.
• Vs solid vinyl tarps: Mesh shade tarps allow airflow and reduce heat buildup, while solid vinyl tarps provide full rain and weather blocking.
• Vs clear vinyl tarps: Mesh shade tarps are better for cooling shade and ventilation, while clear vinyl is better when visibility and weather enclosure are needed.
• Vs higher shade (90%+): 86% offers a strong balance of sun blocking and airflow, while higher shade rates provide more blocking with less airflow and light.
