Hi,
I just finished building a shade for my side area CP growing area.
I've long had a problem with growing CP in that I don't have enough sun anywhere, and where I do have the minimum amount, it is against a wall with a fence facing it on the side of the house and things just cook.
I decided to try to put together a shade to keep the temperature of the wall down a little and shade the plants from about 11:30 until the sun is off them at around 1.
I used copper pipe and window screen. It's fully adjustable and lifts up to get out of the way.
Here is a link to see it.
