Do you allow the pouring rain drops to orchids? Why do you call it a shade house? Is it completely covered?
Thanks!

It is not completely covered! Only the roof is covered with plastic film, the sides are covered just with a clap-net, so it is pneumatic, but not too sunny.

When there is a heavy rain, the drops fall into the shadehouse through the net on the sides, but not from the top.

When the nights are too cool I unfold the foil from the top to the sides as well. So that the orchids are protected.
