Turn Harsh Sun into Comfortable Shade for Your Chicken Run
If your flock spends time in an open run, they’re exposed to more than just fresh air — they’re exposed to heat stress, harsh UV, and limited places to cool down.
This 70% Black Heavy-Duty Chicken Run Shade Cloth helps create a more comfortable outdoor space by reducing direct sunlight while still allowing airflow through the run. It’s made from UV-treated, extra-strong monofilament knit that holds up in hot conditions and keeps its flexibility over time.
With a 70% shade rating, it limits light transmission to about 30%, helping lower sun intensity during peak hours so your chickens can keep using their run more comfortably.

Run Coverage & Installation
Drape the shade cloth across the top of your chicken run or along the sun-facing side to create a cooler, more protected zone. You can fully cover the run or loosely cover the area you want to shade.
Secure the cloth using clips every 24–36 inches, or install with lock channel and spring wire (not included).
Available in 20', 32', and 42' widths to fit a variety of chicken run sizes. Match the shade cloth length to the length of your structure for best coverage.
