I got 3. Protection from the bugs, heat and cold! The fabric is getting worn and faded but the frame is still good - I replaced it with a shade cloth for summer and used frost protection sheets over winter.

Let me start with the bottom line: I don't know how well this product works. I live in Richmond, Virginia where the summer of 2024 included about 4 weeks in June and July when temperatures hit 100° every day. I started using the shade cloth to protect my tomato plants during the second of these four weeks. By the time I started using the product, some of my tomato plants had already died from the Heat. So, it's very difficult for me to say whether or not this product succeeded in cutting the sunshine by 30%. Fir the last two weeks, the temperature has been in the '89s and '90s, so the shade cloth is unnecessary.But I will say this: This kind of inexpensive shade cloth gives you FLEXIBILITY that the more expensive hemmed clothes do not offer. The manufacturer says you are welcome to cut this cloth down to size with any regular pair of scissors. With the more expensive, hemmed cloths, you can't really do that.

Doesn’t keep bugs out . Keeps flys in because they hatch in the dirt. The UV protection works but very hard to keep insects out. I just wish these were made like surgical caps with elastic sewn in around the edges. It does work okay for the price

Nice netting at a good value. Gives bird protection and doesn’t tangle. Durable and lightweight. Works really well.

I had to fold the material 4 times to get the shade I needed.

I use this in my large garden to block some of the Sun. It did help and because that garden is finished I took it down and I'm going to double it so that it will block more of the Summer sun. It's very lightweight like the material that used for those little toule bags but it worked for what I needed it for. Now I need a little more than 30% of the sun to be shaded so I'm going to fold it in half and use it that way.

The netting is perfect to protect our apple tree from direct sun and birds chomping on apples. The netting has sun protection—sun blocking just enough so as not to “burn” the growing apples. We now have a huge crop of the best apples around!

I guess I expected it to have reinforced grommets, as most I researched did. It does not, which is an oversight on my part. It's very lightweight and easy to work with. I didn't need such a long piece so was able to share with a friend.
