Going to build a shade cloth structure for my tropical fruit trees in pots and was wondering what % density shade cloth everyone has been using? Have been using 50% and 70% and don't see the difference when it comes to the plants needs. Going to need some more and was thinking of buying the 50%?

Maybe this is a typo but Amazon has Easy-Gardener-75150-6-Feet-150-Feet for under $10 this should be over $200.

Probably 50% is best. I have found it hard to find. You most often see 70% in stores. I've also noticed that nurseries often use 50%, and it seems just about perfect. It lets through adequate light but really cuts down on the heat.
