You could put turnbuckles in each corner of the shade cloth to tighten/loosen for the perfect fit.
Good tip!
@@GrowingInTheGarden Angela, we live in Queen Creek and was wondering if you could recommend a local nursery to buy transplants? Thanks
I just moved to Albuquerque where the sun is probably as intense as in Arizona. I have been contemplating how to protect my garden. Your idea is doable. Thank you. As I read the comments, someone asked if it will allow water to pass through it. I had to smile out loud as I asked myself "what's that". Good video Angela. I'm going to show this to my children. Hint!
I dont know of anywhere even close to how intense the sun and heat is in Phoenix area. Other than Death valley. Though im sure the sun shades are good in most sunny states that get over 95 degrees. I have no idea how her garden is so green. her water bill must be outragous.
I’m in the Inland Empire, Southern California, about half way between Los Angles and Palm Springs. Like you, the heat here is very intense with 3+ months of 100 F weather. I have been using shade cloth for a few years now and it works great, though I need an upgrade to my system. I don’t get monsoons, but good grief the wind. Moderate to strong winds at sunset almost every night and then the joy that are Santa Ana winds. I now have a massive collection of spring clamps and bungee cords of various sizes to hold my shade cloth in place from the wind. I’ve had some sections break loose and beat a few plants into shreds. My shade cloth is in two sections, draped over an old gazebo frame that I open and close like a stage curtain. I do have one side of my garden that faces due west and get blasted all day and needs protection, so that section of my shade cloth angles down to the ground. This is what I have to tie down so strongly and I clamp the rest of the cloth to the gazebo frame.
Thank you so much for this. I have been struggling to figure out how to put up a shade cloth on my new garden. I’m looking to put up a shade cloth about 10’ x 40’. It’s been a challenging project.
I like how you ran the cables across the middle of the cloth to help support the middle better. Thanks for sharing and video!
Angela, you give me so much hope for my garden! I was rashly going to build some raised beds and madly plant away. Thanks to you and Self Sufficient Me (an aussie channel) I am taking this year to plan it first. I will begin with the autumn planting season. Thank you!!!
Looks great, I live in Louisiana where the temps get to 100 to 102 during the summer, I am so lucky that my garden gets the morning sun and then west sun in the afternoon. With the trees it shades most of the west sun and my garden loves that! Love your channel
Lynn B, my small garden lucky ,too . It gets the morning sun and then west sun in the afternoon .
Both of you are lucky. My garden faces West so it doesn't receive morning sun and I don't have trees or anything to block it. Shade cloth is my best friend.
Love your garden , it's beautiful . Thanks for your great content video . Happy weekend to All . Blessing All!
Very relevant. Last summer we - temperate, south west, Western Australia - broke our own records for the most number of days and most consecutive days about 40c. Horrible. That followed the previous year of hottest average across Australia and hottest day on record in my state.
Looks great! The wind will find any weak spots for sure. Like most things, incremental upgrades may be needed if we don’t get it on the first try. 100 + days are right around the corner.
Right. We will tweak it as needed when the monsoon comes.
love your desert garden. I have some of these things and need to implement then into my garden
Shade cloth is a must here in TX. We are in the mid to high 90s already.
Excellent info & advice. Thanks for sharing.
Great info. So glad I found your channel!!!!
Actually the comment was "what happens when it rains?" That's when I said "what's that?"
Love your information videos.
Love it. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! This will help my yard and garden so much!!!
Thank you for sharing! Great idea.❤️😃
Unique gardening in Arizona!
My backyard is full sun. I am planning a garden now and I know how hot it gets during the summer months. This information was very helpful. Thank you
Your channel is awesome! You don't annoy me and I am learning a lot!
Yes. Shade, mulch and good soil can help.
Nice, I didn't even know they made white shade cloth. I really like it! Nice video and great info!
I love your vertical garden! I am still working on my yard and would like to create vertical garden in my small space yard and maybe add shade cloth to protect the plants from extreme heat.
Good morning from Surprise Arizona
good example for my hot summer garden
You garden is neater than mine in Chandler!
Thank you
VERY NICE TO KNOW ☺🌹❤🍎🌲🌹THANK-YOU.
Perfect ty
buy cheap white thrift store king sheets and drape across makeshift supports. Taking down when not needed. I’m ’IT’ for tending to my small garden…..but/and it is fun for me. I’m near Atlanta so not as hot as Arizona…..but…..hot/humid enuf for me here.

A spring and turnbuckle helps with sag
Thanks for this video. I am wondering if I should get the 40% shade cloth for cannabis. I need the reduced temp but I need light for sure.
What’s best raised garden bed material for arizona climate? And to avoid other desert creatures when you have small kids as best as possible (snakes, scorpions, tarantulas)?
Could snip holes here and there for light or drizzles, etc. Ahna
This is a great video I do have a question though I planted my pepper plants pretty close to my tomato plants this year and I’m wondering if I should get the 40% for vegetables so my peppers get plenty of sun or should I get the 50% and make sure my tomatoes get plenty of shade what are your thoughts on this? I also live in Arizona.North western AZ. Thank you!
I would go with the 50%
Great! Thank you!
Update needed! 😏
Shade cloth doing well and holding up after 3 years - it has stretched out some from the wind, but the crossing wires underneath help with that.
Love all your videos, Angela. Getting ready to order shade cloth. Yours is ten feet high...is there a recommended height? Why did you choose ten feet? Thank you!
I have arched trellises that it needed to be taller than.
Hi Angela, How did the shade cloth hold up through the last two monsoon seasons?
Really well.
How is it having metal posts in the hot weather? Do to you have to be careful to not burn your hands on it?
Hasn’t been an issue - I’m sure they are hot, but no burns yet 🙌🏻
How has this set up done in the whipping wind the last couple of years?
We set up our shade last month, panicked with last night's hint at a monsoon (wind, lightning, no rain) and took it down. Our 20' by 20' is pretty bulky to be putting up and taking down in anticipation of storms but we want to protect our investment, too! 😅 We may just have to trust the fabric and send a prayer up.
It's held up amazingly well. Still doing ok.
Any idea for cheap solutions to shade?
This blogpost lists some: growinginthegarden.com/how-to-create-shade-in-the-garden/
Can tomato plants be left in ur round?
Yes
What happens when it rains? Does it hold much water? Or does it just run through?
It should just run through - it's a 50% weave. Hopefully, we find out soon! :)
Where can I find the metal pole?
Industrial Metal Supply. They come in 10-foot lengths. Industrial will cut them at a cost. You would need to weld the hook on it - it doesn't come like that.
Let us know how it does in rainstorms.
