I assume the % rating given to shade cloth is the % of light that they block?
So 50% shade cloth blocks 50% of the light from getting through.
If so what would 2x layers of 50% shade cloth equate to?
I was finding the single layer of 50% (white) on my glasshouse was not providing quite enough protection, so I have added a second layer to the sunnier/hotter end in an attempt to reduce light and heat (just slightly).
I was just wondering if this would now be closer to 75% blocked…… 50% blocked with the first layer and 50% blocked of the remaining %50 by the second layer.
Or is it not that straight forward?
Thanks,
Aaron.
