Shade house in Miami needs help

[TRANCEBOY]

From my bad measuring i believe its 10x10ft

must be over 6 feet high i just need to figure out if i should put the clear roof plastics drilleved onto the frame but that would make it flat. If i do this then the problem would be the weight of rain. as it might cave in- or so i think.. my friend suggested to dig the frame deeper on one side to have the water slide but then the frame would look ugly

You don't have to do any digging, just add a 2 inch spacer on one end to give it just enough slope so the rain water will run off.

no suggestions ?

what do you guys think of this

Stock Clear Greenhouse Film, 6mil - Plastic Greenhouse Film | Greenhouse Megastore

its green house film .. I think if i use this and shade cloth on the roof of the gazebo i should be good ?

this is much cheaper then the panels plus i guess it protects from rain getting inside.

what do you all think ...


By the way thanks norma... Hope you made it to the fort lauderdale show

That's what I have , but you need to pull and stretch the plastic and the shade cloth, you still will have to give it an incline, small one, I was thinking they sell in HD some solid blocks that will be ok, they are not high about 2" you raise the front and let it drop to the back and what do you have in the center from one side to the other?......norma

I noticed you have fruit trees. Why not just use hangars and hang the orchids from the trees. They grow that way all the time and requires no special care if they are potted in rock or cleaned shells.......especially cats. I uses the trees exclusively in the summer time and they always love the summer change of scenery. I do this for dens, cats, vandas, and even phals.

Hope this helps.
