Premium Knitted Multi-Use Products

Premium knitted Shadecloth is a tough and durable multi-purpose sun, wind, heat, hail and rain screening fabric which protects people, property, plants and animals from the extremes of weather.

Manufactured by Gale Pacific (the company which pioneered the development of outdoor knitted fabric technology in 1977), Premium Knitted Fabrics incorporate the world’s most advanced manufacturing technology based on 38 years in the research and development of knitted textiles. More than ten million square meters of Gale Pacific’s fabrics are produced annually for use in domestic and commercial tension structures in more than fifteen countries.

Unique three-way lock stitch construction results in dimensionally stable fabric which will not tear or fray if cut. This feature contributes to a longer active service life.

Gale Pacific’s Premium Knitted Fabrics are manufactured from high-tech Monolon fiber which retains flexibility and strength under extreme weather and temperature conditions. Monolon also incorporates quality amine light UV inhibitors.

Only high quality amine light ultra-violet stabilizers are used to retain tensile strength and flexibility when exposed for prolonged periods to the sun’s harsh UV rays.

Shade ‘n Screen Premium Knitted Monofilament is unaffected by most horticultural sprays.

L&M offers a complete range of fabric fixing accessories for attaching Premium knitted material to a variety of steel and cable structures.

Premium Knitted Shadecloth has low fire hazard properties. Monolon thread has low flammable and low flame spread ratings. No toxic fumes are emitted during combustion.

The Melbourne textile plant and technology center is the largest production facility of its kind in the world, incorporating state-of-the-art manufacturing and process engineering technology.

Based on 20+ years of experience in the manufacture of resin fibers, Gale Pacific warrants that Shade ‘n Screen Premium knitted monofilament Shadecloth will not degrade, crack or show evidence of material breakdown resulting from ultra-violet exposure for a period of ten years from the date of purchase.

This warranty excludes any breakdown resulting from over tensioning, mechanical friction damage incurred by poor or incorrect installation, and is limited to replacement of the cloth only.
