Product Description
Comshade® is a versatile, medium-duty shade cloth for residential and light-commercial sails. It pairs an excellent weight-to-strength ratio with a heat-set finish that lays flat for fast, accurate fabrication—no curling when marking, cutting or sewing—so installs are quicker and more cost-effective.
Designed to handle high tensile loadings, it’s ideal for backyards, carports, pool areas and mid-size outdoor spaces. With lower shrinkage and superior dimensional stability than generic cloths, Comshade® holds tension and shape over time, delivers high strength, and provides over 90% UV protection—all in a contemporary colour range.
