Hi, I'm getting ready to purchase a shade for this summer. There is no way i can get by without one with the intense sun here in CO. What shading density should I get if I'm growing mostly veggies. I can now keep my GH about ten degrees above ambient temp with my fans . The warmest it gets at this altitude is maybe a dry 95 degrees. Also, do you guys just cover the south facing panels?
Thanks for your time

shading density
I cover the whole roof with 50% from about late April or early May until end of September or so. Covering only the south panels won't help a lot in June/July, you need to cover the roof. The question is, should you cover the side walls...some do, some don't.

Thanks stressbaby. I think I'll go with the 50% shade covering just the top panes. Looking way ahead, as we are receiving another helping of snow.
