What did you think about CoCo digging to China at the end?
If CoCo kept digging, you might have to go to China... 😊
@@carmenmariacortesmarin2664 She sure loves to dig!
So adorable! 😆
I've found great benefits of white cloth over black. It gives even light and it seems to improve the light level in low light.
I like it!
Just gets really dirty after rain and debris no,?
@@shazsoo3925 I really haven't found a negative yet. It's also a good step for those who are without a greenhouse. I have seen some that were off color after years. I'd say give them a spray when they come off and put them up dry.
It's probably less hot as well
Shade cloth is great and hasuses other than just green house..
I used it to create a shaded area for the dog.
nice!
Thank you for this video. Super useful for our double use chickens. The last summer was brutal.
Thank you for the kind words
Coco is just adorable! I have 3 large dogs who do the same thing when they smell a ground squirrel 🐿
I use shade cloth in the garden…. Guess I’ll be using it on north side of GH. Thanks for all the info 👍. 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Thank you for the kind words! Coco says woof!
@@SimpleTek 🦮🦮👍. 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
I use it for hail protection too.
That's awesome
Thank you
Thank you for the comment!
An idea just popped into my head and I”m sure that someone else has thought of it before. What’s wrong with using reflective/insulated louvers to control the amount of light that enters and heat that radiates out through the south-facing window on a passive greenhouse? The louvers could be inside and the mechanism is a lot simpler, more reliable and less time consuming to operate than cranking a blanket up and down. Do you know anything about this option?
intersting - VERY interesting!
The temps here get to be around 110. It does this for most days. Will the shade cloth melt to the greenhouse plastic?
depends on the type of material - check the manufacturers specs!
Maybe install it with some wooden sticks in between. The heat of the plastic might be carried away by air flowing around it.
@@SimpleTek
The material is polycarbonate as well as the net shade cloth. While building the greenhouse. I left the poly panels out in the sun and they kinda warped a bit. So that leaves me to believe that it could cause problems with them melting together. Then I can’t take shade cloth off during winter.

That’s an idea. Thank you. If you can think of anything different let me know. Thanks again
@@bryanroye1112 idk how humid it is where you are. But if it is quite dry maybe install some fine spraying sprinklers on timers. To cool down the mesh. Basically turning the shadecloth into a non fan driven swamp cooler. If you put the whole thing on a temperature controlled plug plus timer you can let it run for 5 min on 15 off only during the hottest time of day. Yes i know it might not be feasible because of water use or already high humidity.
I still think that the Chinese greenhouse you showed in a video, is the best one. Just can't afford it.
they can make them almost any size you want making it more affordable to get a smaller one to start
