Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Iv been speaking to a guy next to work who makes Shadecloth sails and stuff about getting some shadecloth.

i wanted 30% Commercial Horitculture shade cloth, but i have to buy it by the 50mt roll

i am only after 14m so i was thinking about getting the roll as its fairly cheap as im getting it for cost + delivery

it will work out at $6.50 per linear meter @ 3.66m wide. that is what im getting it for landed here roll + del

if anyone is interested please contact me as i will only buy it if i can get some intrest.

Wish you were closer...freight to WA would kill

prob not gnash

i got 18m of 90% from Bris to vic and it was only $25 i think, i can give u an idea if you want... it will e fairly small as it can be folded then rolled.

i am thinking Black but there is black or green..... if anyone was to lean to green i can be sweyed....

I have a 160m2 area to do eventually.....big $'s Im guessing...I'll have to do the math

Oh and black will attract more heat then green

its only 30% its very light... dont think the heat will matter too much....

Bunnings and Home Harware have triangular and square shade cloths in cream colour with thimble holes and reinforced edges.
They are as cheap as you can get them.

maybe for you....try 3-4 Days of 46DegC like we had here last summer and an average of 40 knocks the crap outta my dirt veggies

and yep The B has them but I'm leaning towards a hoop greenhouse.....I'll see what happens

you may be after 50-75% gnash

im mainly trying to keep the bloody locusts out....

Trev: im building a fully sealed Shadehouse, which will be covered in Hothouse film autum next yr

You can get 50% even cheaper here Nash.... Well maybe, depends on delivery..

$297.00 for a 50m roll x 3.66m...

These guys are great, they have all sorts of stuff, really cheap too.... http://www.polesy.com.au

Yeah , will have to think up some end bits for my hoophouse if the grasshoppers become a problem. They are hatching around Horsham at the moment

Well if you want no locusts dont go with green mate. Golf courses over here spray greens purple if there is a plague coming

Yes , apparently they only go for green stuff, so they might even chomp on the shadecloth

Cheers for that site EB i might contact them... i think this guy is making out to me he is doing it for cost and doing me a good deal however i might end up getting it cheaper!!

Now Thinking about going 50% Hortishade, just realised that the netting around our trampoline is 30% its hard to tell off a sample thats 50mm x 30mm but if i put it against the tramp net its the same, i reckon it will be too light....

Will contact that site that eb has mentioned for postage costs also found this on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/50-SHADECLOTH-3- ... 2eaa3c05bc

guessing 50 for postage would work out $7 a metre which is 50c a metre more than i was quoted for 30....

they sell it by the mt for $13 so if someone was interested we could save some $$
