Use case
Event and sports fence branding
Sponsor and event branding that cable-ties onto standard event fencing and comes down just as easily. Printed shade cloth — shadenet — is a durable way to brand a perimeter, with a print that stays sharp for 5+ years.
Why shade cloth
It takes the wind
The usual alternative is solid PVC banner. On an open field or a stadium perimeter, solid material catches wind like a sail — it strains the fence, tears at the eyelets and ends up flapping across someone's shot. Shade cloth is a knitted mesh, so wind passes through it. The print stays flat, the fence stays standing, and the panel survives the weekend.
What it suits
Where it works
- Sports field and clubhouse perimeter fencing — sponsor logos at pitch side.
- Festival and concert perimeters, back-of-house screening and crowd barriers.
- Club tournaments and league fixtures.
- Car park and entrance routes — wayfinding and sponsor visibility on the approach.
Specs
Made to your run lengths
Standard rolls are 50m × 1.8m on 80% HDPE shade cloth, and custom sizes are available on request — most perimeters are not a tidy multiple of fifty metres, so tell us your runs.
Every panel gets sewn-in eyelets every metre along the top and bottom edge, so it tensions properly against standard event fencing and does not sag in the middle. Print is solid spot colour with our UV-stabilised ink, which means a set of boards does not fade between the first fixture of the season and the last. Full specifications are on the services & specs page.
Lead time
Plan around a firm date
Events do not move, so we do not give vague turnarounds. Your quote comes back the same business day with a date on it, set against our real print schedule — so you know before you commit whether the boards land before the fixture.
Send your sponsor artwork as vector files where you can. Tell us your run lengths and we will lay out the logos so the repeat looks balanced; the artwork & installation guide covers file formats and hanging.
