It is a big shade cloth, 10' x 22', so it sags a bit in the middle. I support it with additional 3/16" garage door cables run from the ridge edge down to the eave edge. I use an overhead mist system to help cool in the summer. Obviously it can't be placed above the shade cloth. So this set of cables serves a second role as a support for the mister system.

I thought about a systemt that could be rolled up and down, but I couldn't quite get the details right in my GH. This system is pretty quick and easy. I can get my shade cloth up or down in just a couple of minutes.

Hope that helps.
