Infused with Microban^® antimicrobial product protection to inhibit the growth of stain- and odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew.

Unlike some mesh products that are woven from knitted PVC-coated polyester yarn, Snyder’s PCS product is coated after knitting to lock in the yarns for a tougher fabric. Common applications of PCS include agricultural shading, truck tarps and landscaping tarps. The mesh fabric is a popular choice for athletic uses including tennis court windscreens and gym dividers.
