Greenhouse Shade Screen

[Millet]

In the past I have used a black shade screen to reduce the heat inside the greenhouse from the summer sun.  This year I purchase a reflective silver coated shade screen  called Aluminet Bulk Shade. It is not as heavy as the black shade screen that I had been using, and is a lot easier to put on.  The one I purchased reduces the incoming light by 30 percent, by reflecting the suns rays back into the atmosphere. .  With the Aluminet Bulk Shade cloth covering, and the greenhouse's exhaust fans, the greenhouse is doing just fine keeping the greenhouse at reasonable inside temperatures..

Millet I thought you had been using aluminet for a long time?  I remember you writing about it before

Brian, I did buy one years ago,  Either I, or one of my helpers tore it putting it on.

Thanks.  I am considering doing this also but first I want to see how my misting system does with no phosphate filter.  Last year I got white scale residue on the trees closest to the foggers.  I am wondering if that is from dissolved solids in my water or the phosphate filter itself.  It is extremely effective at cooling but the residue is annoying
