Shade Cloth Hold-Down
Since the heat is greatest on days of full sun I wanted to make it easy to pull over and also remove the shade netting. This shows the simplicity of the hold-down system implemented. The large plastic containers with rope in them are there for organization and when the shade cloth is pulled back over the rope easily come out of the containers in an organized fashion. This reduces frustration and creates a situation that makes it easy to pull over and remove which means it will actually be done on a regular basis.
As a test I did let the netting get rain and tried to move it can still easily be moved by one person so this helps ensure that I can make a judgment call and not feel like the weather limits my opportunity to apply or remove the netting even though it is on the outside of the structure.
