Hey all, I am starting to get materials ready to build a hoop house to extend my next growing season and protect my plants from mold problems in Sept/Oct.
The main concern I have is heat buildup in the greenhouse June through August where the heat index is often over 100°F.
I was thinking I could forgo end doors and keep the ends open to the breeze but sometimes during these months there is barely any air movement.
I am thinking my best bet is to get some knitted shade cloth and drape it over the hoop house. This is where my question comes in. Should I drape it over the poly or take the completely off and just have the shade cloth over the hoops? This decision will affect the design of the hoop house.
Also, I do not want to take the poly off the hoops without having a shade cloth on to slow down the winds and protect the plants from hale. Last year I had them in the timber which protected them but next year it is legal for me to grow and I will have them in the middle of a field.
