    I just finished building a pergola/shade house for container plants. I would like to cover the roof and enclose possibly 2 or more of the sides with shade fabric. I’m a little lost on what density and color to choose I am trying to create some sort of a micro climate inside the shade house. My problems are direct sunlight and wind_ also will shade cloth help provide some winter protection. I intend to grow a variety of different plants so I don’t want it to dark or to light more of a diffused lighting.

    Before I spend any money and be sorry I would really like to hear other peoples experiences if you have any advice at all please share.

    Thanks, Jo Ann
