After working with inexpensive shade cloths that rip and tear like crazy in Texas storms, I am looking to invest in something durable to go into my garden over the long-term. Where do you guys source your shade cloth material from and what do you recommend that will last a long time? I'm looking at Greenhouse Megastore's Aluminet in custom sizing with grommets, but was wondering if anyone here had any experience with different brands of cloths.

When you run your net, try running some extra length, about 3-5ft, and tension it with bungee. Give it some give to the wind. My nets have been staying fine, it's my frames and tie downs that are failing first. I'm mostly using the cheapest net I could find off of Amazon with and without grommets. A lot of it is rolled up a bit at the fastening area to get more material to hold down and was taped with off-brand dollar store packing tape and cut down the center of the tape to custom size it myself.
