First Greenhouse - Location?

[CariC]

Hi everyone. I'm getting my very first greenhouse, and I'm so so excited. However, I'm confused as to where to put it.

I understand it needs lots of light. However, I'm only going to use it for orchids, and most orchids can't take direct sunlight. I keep seeing location directions that say to put it in direct sunlight, especially morning and early afternoon. But then I have to buy a shade cloth to protect the orchids.

Why not just place it in bright shade and not have to shade it? Any advice would be very appreciated.
