Shade Cloth on Greenhouses

May 24, 2019 by Jennifer Morganthaler

As the temperatures warm up so does the greenhouse.  It was time to put the shade cloth. Our field crew ties a rope to the shade cloth and throws the rope over the greenhouse.  The shade cloth is then gently pulled over the greenhouse into place.  Once in the correct position, it is tied down to the eyelets in the concrete pad.

Our crew has the pull over method down because we use shade cloth on all 4 greenhouses, a shade house and the High Tunnel (depending on the crops).
