Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi,

I am finding that new seedlings are getting hammered by the sun on hot days in Perth so would like to rig up some temporary shade cloth over my system for the hot part of summer to give the seedlings and younger plants some protection.
I read on the forum somewhere that it is best to use 30% shade cloth white in colour.

I am having trouble finding 30% shade cloth . Went to B and the lowest they have is 50%. After having a bit of a look on- line I found a supplier in Brisbane doing 30% green shade cloth at $36 for 4 meters which isn't too bad I spose but then its another $30 to ship to WA.

Does anyone know a supplier in Perth doing 30% white shade cloth or am I just best using the 50% stuff from the big B ?

Any advice/help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

50 is fine.
