Shade cloth curtains are an optimal solution for greenhouses
Especially in greenhouses with garden glass or ISO safety glass, shading is absolutely necessary to prevent "burning" on your plants from too much direct sunlight. These nice high quality self-retracting/roll-up white aluminized shade cloth curtains filter out excess sunlight, reducing heat on hot summer days. Lower inside temperatures help protect your special plants and create a cooler environment for your entertaining.
These Hoklartherm shade curtains fit the 10 ft deep. A roller blind is mounted in the housing/shade ready to be pulled out. The roller blind housing is fastened at eave height (for wall shades) or on the roof ridge (for roof shades) using brackets and screws, hanging chains, etc. Both the roof and wall roller blind can be pulled out 10 ft and attached to the corresponding frame profile of the greenhouse using the screw hooks supplied.
Features

The Roof and Wall curtains are both single-roll units. Each roll is 10 feet of shade cloth with aluminum weave, in 59" width. You will need 3 for the M34 and 4 for the M36.

The special Hoklartherm shading fabric is white with a high aluminum content, making it highly reflective. Solar radiation is reflected by the fabric and thus not converted into heat (reflection principle, roughly corresponds to that of a mirror - no heat is generated on a mirror; in contrast, a black background gets really hot). The opinion is often expressed that interior shading is not effective and that exterior shading is therefore preferable. This is only partially true, the right shading material - light/white with a large amount of silver, moisture-resistant, UV-stable, dirt-repellent - is crucial.
- Shading should be installed before the plants in the greenhouse have grown too large . The sun can heat up your greenhouse quite a bit. If the temperatures rise too high, the plants practically curl up. This is how they try to brave the heat. However, this severely limits plant growth. A bad harvest or even a complete crop failure is imminent. Interior shading can help here. Although the interior shading still lets the sunlight through the greenhouse panes, it gives the plants enough shade and thus lowers the greenhouse interior temperature. Important, the heat must escape through appropriate ventilation options - greenhouse windows, doors, exhaust fans.

Maintenance Tips
-
Regular Cleaning: Clean the shade cloth periodically with mild soap and water to remove dust, dirt, and plant debris.
-
Inspect for Tears: Check the fabric for any signs of wear, tears, or damage and repair or replace sections as needed.
-
Lubricate Mechanism: Lubricate the retractable mechanism and tracks regularly to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
-
Avoid Excessive Tension: When retracting, avoid applying excessive force to the fabric to prevent stretching or damage.
-
Weather Protection: Ensure the shade cloth is properly retracted during harsh weather (high winds, heavy rain) to avoid damage.
-
Check Fasteners: Regularly check all fasteners, clips, and supports for corrosion or loosening, and replace or tighten them as needed.
-
Store Properly: During off-season or extreme weather conditions, consider storing the shade cloth to prolong its lifespan.
-
UV Protection: Ensure the fabric is UV-resistant and properly positioned to avoid unnecessary exposure to UV rays, which can cause fading over time.
