you want to totally encase the plant in such???

it would seem you would be creating a hotter spot ...

why not use it as a canopy???

maybe i am just not getting your words

I thought it would be a trade off between scorch and the temperature inside light coloured cotton. Guess the sheets are better as they can be draped with gaps. Yes I am draping the sheets over canes stuck in the ground. Just wondered if people used other things than shade cloth.

I'd use 60% shade cloth if you can...breathable too http://www.catalogclearance.com/products/greenshadecloth60__knittedshadecloth.html

I have one plant under burlap

Thanks sc77 I'll look up shade cloth on amazon or ebay.

The sheets are doing fine on a v-shape of three upright canes. the back end is open but it would be nice to have something a little more ready prepared.

Which plant is that Ronster? A scorcher?
