    Really good value for money

    Easy to dilute as it mixes readily with water unlike the old powder stuff and just as easy to use. I only need to paint one side of my 10X7 greenhouse and I reckon that the 500ml size that I purchased will probably last me five years, making this exceptional value for money.

  • Most critical review

    Waste of time and money - did not do the job.

    Unable to obtain my usual brand of greenhouse shading, I was forced to get a bottle of Vitax. I had to wait for dry conditions on the day and following 24 hours, which in Wales was a long wait, but finally I used it last Saturday 22nd June 2019 and was very disappointed with the product. It was weak and thin in use. Having followed the instructions I coated the glass with it but on entering the greenhouse it had made no difference - still baking hot, whereas the previously used product created an immediate coolness. I waited for another chance to add a further coat, but again it is too weak to cover well and there is still no coolness nearly a week on. Regrettably the mixable sachets at 3 for £2.99 are no longer on the market but this solution at nearly £9 is useless. I hope enough gardeners protest and the sachets are reinstated because we need something better for future years.

  • Quality shading

    This product seems to have good coverage and provides a very good opacity for shading. Very easy to mix and apply. I used a roller on an extension to apply. Very easy. A fully vertical surface may be more of a challenge. This is without doubt the best shading I have used/applied. I covered a twin wall conservatory roof (generally not recommended) 4x4 meters using only around a litre of the product when mixed. Highly recommended if you are in the market for shading.

  • great

    good product. made the mistake of putting ttoo much water in the bucket. There are very few instructions, hence the four stars not five; I found that this procedure will work:1, pour in a proportion of the Vitax (i.e. 100ml for 20% of your greenhouse). 2, then dilute gradually with up to hald the makers suggested dose of water. Try the mix and if too strong, 3, then adjust water. It is sloppy, and runs when applied; dont worry, wait a while then re-coat, waiting each time until you have built up the desired opacity. 4, make up further batches. Any spare can be stored in a tub/plastic bottle etc. for later use. Hope this helps. To remove, use a dry duster.

  • Economical and effective.

    Easier to use than the powder version.A thick liquid with plenty of pigment. Just shake and dilute with water - I used 1 tablespoon in 8 tablespoons of water. Very little needed to do our 8' x 16' greenhouse so will last a few seasons making it cost effective. Moderates the temperature from high 30s to high 20s in full sun so you have warm but scorch-free plants.

  • Easy to apply, works well

    Perfect for the job. Easy to apply. Sprayed on Greenhouse roof, painted directly on walls. Excellent shading for tomatoes etc.

  • Easy solution

    I was looking at shading for my greenhouse and didn't realise you could get this product. It's very easy, gives the desired shade and as I only wanted to do the roof areas there's loads left. Very good value for a user friendly product

  • Very good effective product

    The instructions were clear and the covered well when applied with a paintspray. The only downside was that it was very thin when dilued and caused a number og drips which had to be cleaned up. It will treat at least 2 greenhouses.

  • Works - with caveat

    Works fine, quick and easy and the shade created certainly prevents burns on young plants! However, be aware that some washed off with the first rain and contaminated the water butts. It says 'toxic if swallowed' on their online pdf so probably not good to use on the edible plants. Won't actually be using again.
