Use Shade Dot in hard-to-reach places where shade tents and fabric shade covers would be unattractive and hard to rig. Use it only when you need it and store it during cooler seasons. No mess or fuss.

Shade Dot - Great for all types of plants

Shade Dot is a must-have for gardeners, no matter which planting zone you live in.  Delicate shade ferns and hardy sun-loving plants alike will thrive in the filterd light Shade Dot delivers.  Spot-shading has never been more simple.

(Above, from Mia T.) If your pet lounges in the yard, place a couple of Shade Dots in the ground near their water dish to add some shade.  My cat Simon loves his little moveable oasis.
