I bought this in 12 x 12 in 2013. I used it over raised beds and anchored it with the bungee loops they sell. It isn't dark at all.

I also bought several of these in Sandstone and use daily now to protect peppers by clipping them over tomato cages when the sun gets really intense. I bought these pre 2013 and they have held up really well.

I've cut several of the 15' lengths and never had any unraveling. http://www.greenhousemegastore.com/p...15/shade-cloth

I've also cut to cover the Aeration Screen in an EB so the mix doesn't fall into the reservoir and keep reusing the same ones after washing it off.

One year I tried burlap and it didn't last more than a couple of months in our intense sun. In the long run, the Shade-Roll was way cheaper.
