When do you start shading the pumpkin?

10 days for me, put a lawn chair on it with a rock for weight...

I shade them when they get above the leaves. I use a sheet of white fabric that I get from WalMart at the $1 a yard rack. If it looks like it will be a good one, I put up a tarp to also direct water away from the pumpkin to prevent any fungus/rot problem.
