Set shade cloth is woven or knitted in different densities. We call the
densities of shade cloth “Percentages”. The difference in percentage lets
different amounts of sunlight to penetrate, which means that the percentage of
shade cloth you choose, blocks out that percentage of the sun. Therefore, what
you grow will help determine the percentage of shade cloth you need.
As we all know, sunlight is so crucial to a plants' growth, so choose the
right density and as low a density as you can get away with.
Usually a shade percentage of 30-50% is ideal for vegetables, while 80-90% is
ideal for sheltering people. Most plants will do best with a maximum of 40% -
60% shade. However, when growing some shade loving plants such as orchids and
some ferns, 75% or higher maybe needed to get correct light levels.
