Does anyone know how to source shade cloth for 3000 sq ft? I am planning to cover our whole patch, and we are looking for a solution. Because we have trees all around our patch, we are planning to use suspension from the trees. Should we use multiple smaller ones or use 1 large one? Also, does anyone know a cheap way to buy lots of shade cloth? Here is my patch: http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=329597

Do you get a lot of wind, if so go with smaller pieces, Growersolution.com and Greenhousemegastore.com sells the shade cloth, there a few others but I've bought from them in the past.

Got mine from greenhouse megastore. Smaller pieces are easier to work with. Mine is 80x80 feet, I'll probably cut it down because putting it up was not fun

Just wondering, Ashton what version of shade cloth did you get?

I have used the shade cloth store, if the trees in your photo shade your patch at different times of the day you probably do not want shade cloth. if it's cooling you want misters may be better
For custom finished sizes with edging and grommets, please email us at info@shadeclothstore.com or call us at 1-866-727-6658.

You need shade where your at! Baitman hooking it up! I know guys in areas like yours that are using shade and mist when it gets over 100 plus.

We gotta be lucky it is not more than a hundred degrees here... lol ngl. Most days the peak is well into the hundreds in summer, and during heat waves, it is common to see 110 lol. I will look into misters.

Do you know why the specialty stores for shade cloth are so much more expensive than Amazon? I got a quote from the shade cloth store which was $600...

Amazon has 20x20 shade cloth for $40 (one I used last year): https://www.amazon.com/winemana-Buttonhole-Resistant-Greenhouse-Swimming/dp/B087PXB316/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=2PXFEBF15TT7V&keywords=20x25%2Bft%2Bshade%2Bcloth&qid=1651789244&s=lawn-garden&sprefix=20x25%2Bft%2Bshade%2Bcloth%2Clawngarden%2C147&sr=1-2-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExSlhDSVBDMzNCVUgyJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMDcxMzU0TlgwSUNCQ0w2UEwyJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAxMzAxMDEzMEM1U0xPUjFJUUkzJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ&th=1

But when I looked it up at one of these 3 sites, the same amount of shade cloth was $140 plus. Is the quality better?
