This is what the Government should be sponsoring to educate aspiring young farmers for future food security. Excellent video

Can't believe that excellent content like this has so few likes.

Great info thanks Sean, l have built one 3m x4m mini greenhouse using plastic conduit...you are right. One storm and it was flattened.
Bought a steel framed one 2years ago, but there was inadequate fabric to bury underground. Plastic was also loose, cheap chinese stuff, zippers on doors (l kid you not), it lasted a season, got shredded in a few storms. Now l want to cover it in shadenetting, looks like l must dredge up some sewing skills😂

It amazes me the money people spend on junk Chinese stuff.
Have fun with the netting, it’s simple to work with.

You mentioned the shade percentage and colour. I'd be interested in hearing the details on which to chose. I've got about 800m² of mostly fig trees that need a new net, and best I can tell is that I need 20% white.

[@Trenchwarsoldier-x5v]

You need the one that defuses light, it’s grey or aluminium on the inside! You could get away with 30% shading

[@LivingseedsFarm]

What are you looking to achieve?
20% white is 6% shade.

70,000 a month to heat?

If you are running 6 high tunnels that is a low number.
