Need some advice on shade cloth - TeamFaith recommended I use a 30% cloth but there are quite a few kinds/ colors. Aluminet? Black? White? Red? Green?

It gets HOT here , 100-105 for several weeks straight last summer. It took a toll on the plant and the growth for certain.

Any recommendations? Also, if anyone has a source they used and liked, post that up too!

Thanks in Advance

I had looked at their site before. They have 40% and 50% in white. They do have 30% in red chromatic and aluminet but not white.

I ordered a 22% white canopy. I think it will be fine in my yard. There's only a few hours a day where its a real concern....

Thanks Joe for the tips!
