Default [IBC] Acer palmatum

Hello everybody, I'm asking again for help. 1 1/2 years ago my wife
gave me as a present a beautiful acer palmatum, with excelent foliage,
perfect leaves.
During the first summer the leaves becomme dry, at the nursery they
told me it was because of too much direct sunlight. For this season I
preapared a frame with a net (we call them kiwi net, because it's used
for this trees) for shadow. It worked great, and the leaves were ok for
longer time (all spring and almost all summer too). Now my problem is
the tip of the leaves become brown and dry, it doesn't affect the
complete leave (most of times), but they look ugly and affect the look
of the tree (and I don't know how far also it's health). Can anyone
give me reasons for that (pests, too windy, etc)?
Thanks a lot everybody.
