It's the only shadecloth I've tried, so I can't compare, but I do like it. It's very lightweight, but surprisingly strong. It doesn't unravel if you cut it. Here's a website page that has some pics at the bottom, and explains more about it. This is also the website I ordered mine from:
http://www.igcusa.com/greenhouse-shade-cloth-aluminet.html

You can order it hemmed, with grommets, or raw. I ordered mine as raw fabric since I wanted to use it to make screens, and to custom made a shade for the inside of my roof...I wanted to play with it!

I didn't drape it over the outside of my GH as many do, because I felt like it would be hard to keep in place in our awful winds. I put it inside the roof. People say this is less efficient at reflecting heat when you use it inside, but I thought I'd try it inside first (easier for me.)
