I am just building my greenhouse and will do something similar with the shade cloth as you are.... HOW do you get it up there over the roof? DO you have a rope to pull it tup? Do you just leave it there all day or put it up at 2-3pm when the sun gets intense ?

Also, do you have bug screens over the windows ? I am wondering if I want to install bug screen to keep the moths and mosquitoes out. :)

Ok it took me and my wife to put it up. We used a rope to pull it over.

Probably leave it up until October.

I have screens but something was brought to me yesterday. Move buch outside the Greenhouse isn't doing much good now other than seedlings.

Mind don't work like it use to so I'm open on stuff.

Hmm, OK, cool. I was thinking of doing a rope on the other end and pull the shade up in the afternoon, but leave it down in the morning when its cooler. I might attach a 1x1 or 2x2 to both ends of the cloth so it stays wide and can attach the rope to the top end to pull up.

Main thing I have found is air circulation by the Fans even at night.

I know it gets cool at night but your humidity comes up. I think the Fans will help with this.

So much is out of your control but do as much as you can and call it good.

I got two Floor Fans set them on Barrels for now but going to hang them by their Stand just turn it around.

The way I'm doing it you need two to get full coverage of Air Circulation.
