I am thinking that shade on hoops is going to be a heat
collector as well is blocking
the wind/breeze that is vital to wiping away moisture causing
mold.
Ideally shade would be several feet above the crop and wide
enough to allow for
the path of sun thru several hours of the day. In
florest crops horizontal wires are on
are on posts and the cloth laid over the wires
and attached at the perimiter. As with
hoop house poly it is better allow cloth to pull free rather
than have it wrech itself and/or the
frame.
Probably a 50% light color of knitted cloth would be best
investment.
