Default How to Hang Shade Cloth???

Hi Everyone,

I am putting the finishing touches on my gh before moving my orchids
in to it. Shade Cloth.... what to do????

1. Is it best to suspend the cloth so that it does not lay
directly on the polycarbonate panels?

2. If so, can I get some ideas from some of you on how you
achieved this?

My gh is 15' X 16'. It has roof vents on each side (2' x 8') and they
are opened by solar-powered vent openers that lift them a maximum of
12" high. It also has side vents on each side (same dimensions as roof
vents).

I am probably going to go with Aluminet shade cloth. 50 or 60%
shading. Any one with experience with this type? Or, alternatively
using white shade cloth.

Any ideas would be appreciated!
