Coolaroo 301408, Lacing Needle Attachment and Placement, (1 Set, 80′ Cord) Shade Fabric Accessories, Black
- I ordered the coolaroo lace and ‘needle’ for lacing coolaroo fabric and it works great for that. The regular price of $12 is rather steep, my 1st roll was $8, and I just got 3 more when they were on sale for $6. I did stock up because of the sale and I know I’ll use it.We grow shade loving plants and concentrate on some less common (Asimina triloba – paw paw) and some now rare ones (Goldenseal and ginseng). We reuse trampoline nets for some and trampoline pads for some, depending on the level of shade required. We also have used coolaroo fabric, but of course recycling trampoline nets and pads keeps them out of the landfill longer. They last a lot longer than tarps and are free, so we get them every time someone is throwing away a trampoline. They allow water through so when used outside over plants, the plants still get water.ANYWAY, the coolaroo string lasts a long time, and doesn’t degrade in the heat of the hoophouse or outside. The lacing needle is very convenient if we can lay the fabric on the ground to sew it together. Often times we can’t as we’re working overhead, so we cut lengths of coolaroo lace (string) , overlap the nets a bit and tie them together.The coolaroo lace, lacing needle and fabric are good quality products.
