What is the difference between Shade cloth and the waterproof option?
Shade cloth is designed specifically to provide COOL shade, it has a unique weave which whilst being extremely strong and dense allows the hot air trapped underneath the cloth to seep through and continue to rise making the air itself up to 30% cooler under the sail than the air surrounding it, the waterproof option is basically the same in its woven form, the difference being that the waterproof option is lined with an opaque plastic film with elastic properties which allow the fabric itself to maintain its practical characteristics whilst being completely water tight. The only negative aspect of the waterproofed fabric is that it does not allow hot air to escape as with shade cloth.
