Ironstoneâ„¢ shade cloth is a premium grade shade cloth renowned for longevity and quality. Universal 90%+ is an Extra Heavy shade cloth specifically suited to applications where a high shade factor or privacy screening is needed.
The shade cloth is 200gsm (grams per sq metre) but has a 'tape filler' which gives it the full 90% UV rating without being too heavy in weight. Ironstone shade cloth is well known and sold Australia wide having been designed for the harsh Australian conditions. It is very hard wearing and suitable for a wide range of applications.
Universal 90% is not designed for tension applications such as shadesails but it is perfect for most jobs around the home including for example covering a pegola or providing a privacy screen.
When you are using Universal 90% for privacy note that lighter colours including Sandstone, Light Grey or Light Green are more effective than dark colours such as Black or Slate. This is because the light coloured fabric reflects back light rather than absorbing it making it more difficult to see through.
Black | Navy | Light Grey | Slate |
Light Green | Dark Green | Terracotta | Sandstone |
Please note: The 90% shade cloth will provide different grades of vision blockage depending on colour, time of day, angle and how much light is showing behind. We do not guarantee 100% vision blockage. Shade cloth is a porous material and you will be able to see through it to an extent.
When ordering your shade cloth make sure you have all the right accessories to get the job done. These include;

The fabric is very colour fast however over the longer term some slight fading can occur when the fabric has been constantly exposed to environments of high UVR.
Domestic shade cloth is made with a tape filler to increase its opacity. This tape filler is knitted into the fabric between the strands of monofilament. Think of monofilament as being like fishing line. When it is knitted together it forms a fabric, in this case, shade cloth.
The difference between domestic and commercial shade cloth is that commercial shade cloth is 100% monofilament (knitted fishing line). It has no tape filler. This makes commercial shade cloth very strong and suitable for use under tension. Domestic shade cloth is not suitable for high tension applications such as shade sails because the tape filler stretches at a different rate to the monofilament. Domestic shade cloth is designed to be spread over a frame work, like a pergola, not tensioned out like a shade sail.
10 Years Pro rata against UV Degradation.
Shadecloth is designed to reduce the temperature underneath and is a knitted fabric, thus is porous. Accordingly, it will not provide a full visual block, however, visibility is significantly reduced and 90% Universal is certainly the most suitable shade cloth on the market for providing privacy. It is long lasting due to UV stabilisation and is easy to install.
Customers who need higher levels of screening can use the fabric doubled as long as the fence or attachment points are adequate. This greatly increases its block out. The darker shadecloth absorbs rather than reflects light. With a lighter colour the sunlight is reflected back at your eye and makes it harder to see through, ie, lighter colours are better for privacy.
Note, due to the knitted construction of the fabric along with the selvedge edge eyelets are not necessary as long as the fabric is attached at regular intervals with cable ties, butterfly clips, hog rings or another suitable method.
