Greenhouses
Protect your plants from harsh UV rays by using shade cloth to create a greenhouse. Opt for shade cloth with Tenara thread for even more UV protection.

Shade Cloth Toowoomba FAQs
How long does it take to install a shade cloth?
The timeframe between you calling us for a free quote and the final installation cannot be guaranteed because it depends on our current stock, your requirements, and how busy we are. However, we don’t like to keep our customers waiting and we always provide our services as fast as we can.
The turnaround time will be faster on standard-size rolls than on our custom cuts and larger sheet sizes, and opting for Tenera thread may also increase the timeframe. Rest assured that we will provide you with an estimated installation date and ensure that this works with your schedule, and do our best to stick to it.
How much do your shade cloths cost?
Our prices are variable depending on the material, length, and finish that you opt for. We aim to provide the most competitive prices in the Darling Downs Tarpaulins area, so we will always try to beat a quote that you may have from elsewhere. If you need an estimate, get in contact with us today and let us know your requirements for a completely free, tailored quote. We stick to our quotes, meaning you are never met with unexpected bills.
Which type of shade cloth is best?
We offer a wide range of shade cloths that are suited to a variety of needs, so choosing the best one for you can be a little confusing. Before you contact us, make sure you know where you want the shade cloth installed and what purpose it will serve. For example, if you are hoping to create an outdoor dining area, 95% shade might be too dark, but you still need adequate protection from the sun, so that a mid-range option may be better. If you still want to enjoy the sun when you feel like it, a retractable shade cloth would be ideal.
We always advise opting for Tenara thread because of its 15-year UV warranty. If you’re stuck, our friendly experts will be happy to talk you through the options and provide advice depending on your needs.
Do I need Tenara thread?
All of our customers would benefit from choosing Tenara thread as part of their purchase because it increases the UV warranty to 15 years, making it a worthwhile and cost-effective investment. Extra UV protection is highly beneficial because it offers you greater control and further reduces the negative effects of UV rays on the skin, such as skin cancer risk.
