Default managing rain and cover

i had a rough summer a few years back and lost a lot of new growths on my catts and dens

i was fool hardy about the way the heat would dry them up and i designed my medium to be rainproof so i was ready for anything.....wrong. when it rains for 4 plus days with no break, that heat never has a chance to dry things and tender shoots can only hold water for so long before they succumb to something.

fast forward a few years and i have reached the point where i am still dialing in the plants and locations but based on their needs

the other night i was given a really nice pat on the back for my work

only 10-12 of the plants on both tables even have one leaf in the falling water they get soaked but not inundated

oh, i forgot the point of the thread, D'oh!

what steps have you taken to handle rain? i envisioned a lot of other option from shade cloth to deflect to plants to plastic tarps. i settled on using the house bc it was just the most solid and easiest.
