Shade cloth at Home Depot?
Hi, Gannet: Sounds like your balcony has a solid roof? If so, I'm
surprised you feel the need for additional shade for "high light" plants. Personally, I'd worry that you wouldn't have enough light to get, say, vandas to bloom well, before adding more shade ... But in any event, yes, 30% shadecloth is supposed to block 30% of the sun and let 70% through. Good growing, -- Kenni Judd Juno Beach Orchids http://www.jborchids.com This will be for the South-facing balcony of our apartment. I'd like to get two panels for the railing, and two panels for the space between the railing and roof, all with grommets for adjustability. Hopefully that will let me balance things so I can make better use of my space. One more question, though. Charlie's lists the cloth as 30, 52, and 66%. I infer from the listing for lath cloth that this is the percentage of light blocked, but it's not stated explicitly. Anyone know for sure? I'm looking for just enough block to let high-light plants take midday Florida sun. I'm thinking 30% block should be good. Anyone agree or disagree? TIA Gannet St. Petersburg, Florida |
