Title: SHADING FOR GREENHOUSES
Post by: Duke Ellington on April 16, 2009, 09:39:02
Hello there :)

I really dont want to use that white shading paint and would like some alternative suggestions for shading my greenhouse. I would also prefer to use something that can be fixed to the outside of greenhouse but I am unsure of the best material to use.

I would use fleece.

This would double as shading in summer & insulation in winter.

Try rolling on to a couple of broom handles (or similar) and roll it in and out as required.
