  "description_short": "This 1 m x 2 m panel combines 90% shading with grommets for tie-on hanging.",
  "description": "A sunny corner can be pleasant early in the day, then become too bright for the way you want to use it. A small seating spot, a group of pots or part of a greenhouse may need shade without needing a cover across the whole garden.\n\nThis shade cloth is one finished panel measuring 1 metre by 2 metres. It has a stated 90% shading rate and grommets for tie-on hanging. Those details make it worth considering for a small, measured project. The important part is matching its size and shade level to your space, rather than choosing by percentage alone.\n\nStart with the area you want to shade\n\nBefore looking at fixings, decide what needs cover. Is it a chair beside a wall, a shelf of plants or one section of a greenhouse? A clear purpose makes the size decision much easier.\n\nMeasure the area at the time of day when unwanted sunlight is the main problem. The sun moves, so shade cast in the morning will not fall in the same place later. A panel positioned directly above a chair may not screen low afternoon sun from the side.\n\nA 1 m x 2 m shade cloth is a limited-size panel. It may suit a focused spot, but it should not be expected to cover a large patio. Marking its outline with a tape measure can help you picture the size before ordering.\n\nAlso look beyond the area being shaded. You need suitable places to attach the panel, and those may sit outside the space you want to cover.\n\nUnderstand the 90% shading figure\n\nThe stated shading rate is 90%. That makes this a dense shading option, rather than a light screen intended to preserve most of the direct sunlight.\n\nThe figure is useful when comparing shade fabrics, but it does not answer every question. It does not give a measured drop in temperature, a wind rating or a certified level of personal UV protection. None of those figures is supplied in the maker's description.\n\nThink about how the space should feel once shaded. More shading is not always a better choice, especially where plants need strong light to grow well.\n\nIf you are replacing an existing panel, compare its stated shade level as well as its dimensions.\n\nWhat the mesh and eyelets do\n\nThe specifications list polyethylene, often shortened to PE. The panel is described as woven mesh, with aluminium eyelets spaced every metre. The exact number of eyelets is not stated.\n\nThose eyelets provide points for a tie-on hanging arrangement. They help you plan where the panel can connect to suitable supports, but they do not tell you what loads the whole installation can carry. The maker gives no tested load or wind limits.\n\nThe maker's description also does not confirm whether ropes, ties or other fixing hardware are included. Check that point before setting aside time to put it up. It is easier to plan a patio shade panel when you know which parts you still need.\n\nAvoid assuming that a familiar-looking fixing will suit every wall, fence or frame. The support, fixing and panel all need to be considered together.\n\nMeasure for the panel, not just the gap\n\nThe supplied size is 1 m x 2 m.\n\nMeasure the gap between your intended supports, then consider the room needed for the ties. A panel that matches the gap exactly may leave no practical space for its attachment arrangement.\n\nA simple sketch can help. Note which edge will run along each support and where you expect the shade to fall. If the shape of the space is awkward, do not assume you can solve it by cutting the panel. No cutting or edge-finishing instructions are supplied.\n\nThis matters for returns too. Cutting the fabric takes it outside the stated change-of-mind return conditions. Confirm the fit before altering or installing it.\n\nUsing shade cloth around plants\n\nA greenhouse shading net can be useful when a growing area receives more direct light than the plants need. The right shade level, however, depends on what you are growing and the conditions in that space.\n\nThis panel has a high stated shading rate. Before using it above seedlings, vegetables or established pots, check their light requirements. A plant that prefers bright conditions may not suit the same cover as one that needs a sheltered position.\n\nDo not assume that adding mesh replaces the need to check ventilation, watering or temperature. Shading is only one part of managing a growing area.\n\nFor a mixed group of plants, consider whether they should all sit beneath the same cover. Moving the plants into separate areas may give you more control than putting a dense shade panel over everything.\n\nChoosing a position for a patio or garden\n\nGarden and patio shading are stated uses for this product. For a small seating area, start by watching where the sun causes discomfort. It may come from overhead, from one side or through a gap between existing structures.\n\nThe panel's orientation matters as much as its footprint. A hanging shade fabric placed to screen one direction will behave differently from a small shade canopy above a seat.\n\nKeep expectations clear. This is shade mesh, not a permanent roof. It is not described as a structural barrier, and no information is supplied to support using it as one.\n\nIf privacy is part of your plan, remember that mesh visibility changes with lighting and viewing angle. The description mentions privacy, but there is no measured opacity rating or promise of a fully screened space.\n\nSeparate shade from rain and wind protection\n\nThe panel is listed as water resistant. That wording does not mean waterproof, and it should not be relied on to keep a chair, table or electrical item dry.\n\nLikewise, a reference to UV resistance does not establish a tested sun-protection rating for people beneath it. Keep your usual personal sun precautions rather than relying on the panel alone.\n\nNo wind rating is stated. An outdoor installation needs care because both the fabric and its supports are exposed to changing weather. Follow any supplied instructions, and do not assume it is suitable for strong winds or year-round use in an exposed position.\n\nIf your main need is reliable rain cover or a rated permanent shelter, look for a product with specifications that directly address those needs.\n\nCheck the details that are not stated\n\nSome buying decisions depend on information that is not available here. Fabric thickness, a tested UV protection rating and expected service life are not specified.\n\nThe item weight is listed as 260 g. There is also a separate unit-count entry expressed in grams, but it is not identified as grams per square metre. It should not be used to compare fabric density.\n\nThe maker's description identifies black mesh, while the structured colour field is blank. If exact colour matters for a visible installation, confirm it before ordering.\n\nThese gaps do not need guesswork. Ask about any missing detail that would change your decision, especially if you have a particular mounting method or performance requirement in mind.\n\nCare for the panel without overdoing it\n\nFor routine care, start gently. Brush away loose dirt with a soft brush. If further cleaning is needed, mild soap and water are a sensible starting point, subject to any instructions supplied with the product.\n\nAvoid abrasive scrubbing and harsh cleaners. Do not machine wash unless the supplied care guidance permits it. Let the panel dry fully before folding it for storage.\n\nBefore hanging it again, inspect the mesh, eyelets and ties. Look at the supports too. A sound panel cannot make an unsuitable attachment point suitable.\n\nThere is no stated maintenance schedule, so base your checks on use and exposure. Inspect it after taking it down and before the next installation rather than packing it away without a look.\n\nCheck fit before committing to use\n\nWhen the panel arrives, check the size and condition before washing, cutting or installing it. Keep the original packaging while you decide whether it suits your plan.\n\nFor this Ireland store, change-of-mind returns are accepted within 14 days from delivery when the fabric is unwashed, uncut, unused and in its original packaging. The customer pays return postage.\n\nFaulty or wrongly described goods are put right free of charge. Delivery timing is not stated by the maker, so check the information at checkout if your project depends on a particular date.\n\nThe short version\n\nChoose this panel if you need one 1 m x 2 m shade cloth with grommets and a stated 90% shading rate. Its listed uses include garden, patio and greenhouse shading.\n\nMeasure first, check your supports and make sure dense shading suits the space. Treat water resistance and UV resistance as limited descriptions, not promises of a waterproof roof or certified sun protection. Those checks will help you decide whether this small panel fits the job you actually need it to do.",
