Shade net - takes the glare out without turning the afternoon into dusk

The netting filters roughly 51 to 60 percent of the light, which loses the harsh edge and keeps the space bright. The border is sewn twice and each corner carries a reinforced eyelet, so it can actually be tensioned. Pick from four sizes, from a small balcony run up to 3 x 4 m.

Why choose this shade net?

Block the light completely and two in the afternoon starts to feel like dusk underneath. A balanced filter rate keeps daylight looking like daylight. Air moving through the weave handles the heat.

• Balanced filtering: around 51 to 60 percent of light is intercepted, so it stays bright below.
• Twin-stitched border: the edge is sewn twice, which is where cheaper netting gives out first.
• Eyelet corner patches: triangular reinforcements take the pull of the guy lines.
• Airflow through the weave: heat rises through the netting instead of gathering under it.
• Camp-ready pack size: folds down small and light enough to carry to a pitch or an allotment.

Bright enough to read under, cool enough to stay put all afternoon.

Guy it from all four eyelets rather than two, or the loose sides flap for the rest of the day. On a campsite, poles at the two outer corners and pegs at the back give a simple lean-to. The bag it packs into is small enough to leave in the trunk between trips.
