I don't know how much of it you would need, or if this would
help you...
I have been using 'landscaping fabric' bought (in error) at
the local garden center. This is a thin black fabric that
looks very much like non-woven interfacing (as used in
sewing clothing). I bought it by mistake, thinking it was
something else.
It doesn't ravel, and it seems to work nicely as shade
cloth.
