RE: greenhouse shades

Wildnana, c'mon over to the "Greenhouses and Garden Structures" forum. If you don't find the answer you need there or through a search, then post your question and I'm sure you'll get some responses ... lots of very experienced people, and some newbies, with greenhouses of all sizes and types.

Wish I could help you, but I just purchased and put up my little one this fall (I'm absolutely thrilled with it), so will soon be looking for a shade cloth myself.

Some things to think about: what size shade cloth will you need? What will you be keeping in the greenhouse over the summer? This dictates the percent shade you will want.

Attached is just one good place to purchase a wide variety of shadecloth. I'm sure you will have found some good information in the greenhouse forum, by now.

Here is a link that might be useful: Shade cloth source

well a lot of that depends on where you are and how much shade you want. I ordered mine from the International greenhouse company and went with aluminet (60%) cus it gets really hot down here.

But I agree, the greenhouses and gardening structures forum should be more help.
