Shade cloth going up...

The wire framework for the roof can be clearly seen. We are using a 20% shade cloth to allow maximum sun penetration into the tunnel whilst still providing an additional support for the plastic that will lie on top of the shade cloth later on. In version 2 of the shed we will reverse this and put the shade cloth on top of the plastic. The intention is to protect the skin of the shed from wind - which is the most problematic of the elements beyond our control. A good wind storm can shred a tunnel in seconds and cause significant disruption to operations. We're trying to avoid that as much as possible.
