You describe it as high density polyethylene (HDPE) rachel knitted fabric; in a follow-up telephone call you stated that the fabric will be imported on rolls and will be hemmed on all four sides. The item will come in four sizes: 12’ x 1500’, 10’ x 500’, 6’ x 50’, and 3’ x 25’. It can be ordered in various colors, such as black, white, green, etc. It is UV stabilized and can be made to offer shade from 20% to 90%. It is used to provide shade for agriculture, public areas, or parking lots. It has holes at the edges where poles can be inserted.
