    Is the fabric not strong enough to put the posts far enough away to run it tight? Like if one were to do the math from the heights of pole and distance and place them for it to be run tight?

    Looks good Miah. I would of just cut some pool noodles and stuck them on the cattle panel top. Yours is more professional. Thank you for the tutorial.

    I get so jealous of you, Miah. I can't build anything. I'm totally incompetent with tools. My Dad was an Electrician, and his dad was a master carpenter. I am hopelessly inept. But I love homesteading! Thanks for this video.

    I think that "selling fear" often has a negative connotation, but fear serves a more complex role in human psychology and society at large. Fear-based content fulfills multiple psychological needs: it warns us, it reassures us, and it satisfies our curiosity about the unknown and the potential danger from a distance. However, you bring up a good point about all of that weighing on you, so we'll just have to wait and see how it plays out when we're older!

    Her love for her plants reminds me so much of my Momma. I miss talking to her about our yard, flowers and hummingbirds!! I miss her so much!! Enjoy her every moment you can!! My Momma used to say the same thing about not thinking plants are dead!! She had the greenest thumb. Always amazing how she could give new life to plants that most people would throw out!!

  • @kstewart3901

    Maybe you could put a pool noodle or a tennis ball on top of the t posts to eliminate any chance of the shade cloth catching on them?

    I also use shade cloth in my western Kansas garden, but it serves a dual purpose. Not only do we get super hot in the summer (103 as I write this) we also get violent summer storms with wind and hail. I have a variety of pipe and wood structures over my vegetable and cutting garden beds. Some stay covered all of the hot months, others I can cover at a moment’s notice if a storm is coming. I use inexpensive harbor freight shade tarps, which have help up for several years use now.

    That is great that it is on Thursday evenings. I wish I could find an active farmer’s market here in WNW Arkansas that wasn’t on Saturdays. (If anyone knows of one, let me know!) it’s such a beautiful way to support growers and makers in your community.

    If you had a big storm coming, you could untie the 550 cords at the corners, push the cloth to the center posts (on the long sides) and wrap the cloth in cord. This way it wouldn't act as a sail at least. It will still get knocked around, but it might not get damaged anyway.

    If you have to rethink the possibility of the posts cutting the clothe, try cutting a slit in a tennis ball and padding the posts.

  • @GreenFoxGardens1985
    @GreenFoxGardens1985 Před 5 hodinami

    That is a big piece of shade cloth! I farm in South Carolina and I assure you that if you are building a shade structure as large as what you have you would want to use a bunch of smaller shade cloths instead of a single large shade cloth. If you look at commercial shade structures they use many smaller shade cloths, not one large one. This is because a single gigantic shade cloth is like a massive sail.
