The Aluminet Shade Cloth is very useful in keeping the Growing Dome® cool during the hot summer months. It reduces the amount of sunlight and heat transmitted into the greenhouse. The shade cloth reduces the amount of summer sunlight by 50% without depriving the plants of too much light. It is custom made to fit each of the different Growing Dome sizes. The kit comes with strings and eye bolts for easily attaching it to the struts inside the greenhouse. Most Growing Dome owners put it up between April – June and take it down between September – October.
