I find myself in need of shade!
looking for some of that knitted plastic fabric
(or a local source)
that blocks sunlight but lets in air and rain.
don't need a lot but at least 24 x 24 or thereabouts.
thanks,
Bear

Horticulturalists call this fabric shade cloth. Greenhouse owners use it to control the amount of sunlight reaching the plants within the structures. Shade cloth is available in various weave densities, depending on how much light you need to block. Greenhouse supply stores sell it. I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't available via one of our local Southern States stores. It's certainly worth a phone call to find out.
