1. Knitted – is a strong quality shadecloth constructed with a combination of monofilament yarns and knitted construction and gives excellent "burst" strength and tear resistance. Knitted shadecloth has deeper cross sectional construction resulting in greater variations of shade factor throughout the hours of the day. It is available in a variety of colours and shade factors ranging from 30% shade to 90% shade.

   Some of the advantages of knitted shadecloth are:

   • it resists fraying and unravelling when cut
   • it gives excellent "burst" strength and tear resistance
   • a good variety of colours, particularly in the 70% and 90% shade

    

2. Woven – is constructed from monofilament yarns in a two dimensional profile that results in more consistent shade, irrespective of the sun's angle.

   Some of the advantages of woven shadecloth are:

   • Cost effective
   • Uniform control of shade
   • Lighter fabric allows for lower construction cost
