Try supercheap car parts...

This is great idea A lot of advertising flyers for camping acessories
feature those portable carports.They can be converted to shade houses.

If you want to get something out of the box that doesn't require a good
deal of planning or effort, try one of those portable carport
structures. I got mine for about 100 bucks, it's a good sturdy steel
structure......I replaced the canvas topcloth with some shadecloth I
bought online, ready to go and grommeted for about another 40
bucks...The structure is about 10 X 20, but since I didn't have the
space, we only used enough pieces from the kit to do a 10 X 15, you
could also do a 10 X 10...
We did not cement it into the ground, but into some CBS blocks and it
hasn't moved an inch or sustained any structural damage with all the
storms we've had. The only damage I had with Wilma was some tears in the
shadecloth from fallen branches and flying shingles.

Hi there,
I have been having problems with most of my vegetables flowering even
before they reach a mature stage. Was wondering if that is due to the
fact
that the weather has been so hot lately and the extended period of no
rain. Therefore, I decided to install a shadehouse to protect the plants.
a) Does anyone have any ideas on why the plants are all bolting?
b) Do you think the shade house will solve the problem?
c) How would you go about a home-made shadehouse?
d) What is the best material cover to use for the shade, what colour and
why?
TIA
Niki
