Shade Net Tarp

Our HDPE shade net tarps are engineered specifically for the safe transport of container plants, nursery stock, and live foliage. Designed with breathable knitted mesh and UV-stabilized materials, these tarps help reduce heat buildup, prevent sun stress, and maintain airflow during short- and long-distance hauling. Ideal for nurseries, landscape suppliers, growers, and garden centers, they provide reliable shade protection while preventing wind damage and leaf scorching. Available in recommended shade levels and sizes suitable for pickup trucks, trailers, and commercial plant transport vehicles.
