Hi Ned. My wife and I have a home in Gensan and we had the same issue. We have a large concrete driveway right beside the house and it heats up incredibly. Your idea will work. Last year my brother in law installed netting and it does help reduce the heat. The plants will thank you as well. Whatever you decide, good luck. Enjoy your channel.
I suggest you use a container garden with very narrow path for car and motorcycle. Lots of banana trees, bamboo, mango trees and cacao trees. Create an artificial jungle canopy. Everybody wants to see your mahogany trees growing in large containers. Containers on wheels?
Pressure wash the concrete and paint the concrete white. The white paint will prevent the concrete from absorbing the heat. It will reflect the sun yes but the concrete will not heat up. Pull curtains on the windows during the day again white curtains. Black absorbs heat. This works I do have experience.
Double layer the shade cloth. Better yet, if you can rig it so that there’s space between the layers, it’ll do the trick. That from my 15 years in Saudi teaching combat survival to military pilots, using their parachutes for shelter. Yes even in the summers with temps as high as 135 F. The sand would get as hot as 180. F. 2 layers of parachute shade made it survivable, not comfortable.
some type of retractable awning if you got the cash for that... if you're not looking to spend a lot you could use a tarp but the the air circulation does get cut down
G'day Ned. For the unshaded concrete - Get a high pressure water cleaner and clean all that grey/black mould growing on the concrete.That means it won't get as hot as it is now. If the concrete doesn't get as hot you won't have a heatsink sitting outside that side of the house. I remember you said you were going to clean all that grey/black mould on the walls when you first moved into the Orange House - Here is another job for high pressure water cleaner. Then if you're feeling ambitious paint the concrete white - This will cause it to reflect the sunlight so the concrete doesn't heat up as much. Something else you could try is hang some shade cloth from the eaves just under the gutter across that side of the house and paint it white.
Ned, cleaning the concrete should be an annual task if you don't paint it but if you paint the concrete you might find it gets slippery, so may be the paint is not a good idea but the shade clothe should work as an add on to cleaning the concrete.
Ned, paint the surface of the black netting WHITE. I live here in Arizona. In fact some homes here have a White Coating they paint on to the roof shingles here. Makes a HUGE difference.
If you can't shade the cement the next best thing is to have it reflect the sun better. I see many dark spots that could be pressure washed, and something to whiten the cement would go a long way. White skim coat or paint job would reflect most of the heat, but not sure how durable it would be if you did not spend premium money for premium materials. If the water is available for a reasonable cost you could wet it and rely on evaporation to keep it cool
In Thailand, they often run water sprinklers on top of the awnings. The sprinklers spray water, which evaporates and cools things quickly. i don’t know how much water costs in the Philippines, but you will be surprised how quickly it works, good luck.
LAYERS!!! If the sun netting is so cheap, hang it in layers, one on top of the other in the areas you want the most UV/heat protection. Remembering to keep an inch or three between the layers so the breeze can dissipate the heat better from the top to bottom layer, just like a dual paned window, but with air flow.
I stand corrected. White concrete is right but who has one. White marbles are cool but $$$. Plywoods might work. Just water the cement on hot days and scrub it clean with long handle, is cheapest.
Ned i know you may not believe it but. The concrete is black with mildew and dirt. so washing it with a pressure washer and bleach would not only look better but would attract less and hold less heat. and would smell better and look better also.
I live in northern Wisconsin Ned still cold here and snow left on the ground so no advice for warm climate. But looking on making a change and coming to Philippines in October and staying awhile and see how it goes . Take care Ned and family you have found your happiness . 😊👍
I'd dig 6 holes either side of the concrete and erect some steel RHS. Then weld some lugs or something to hold white shade netting between the 4~6 posts.
The sun shade screen sounds good. The black of the concrete is a fungus or mold that can be treated and washed to normal concrete color and so not so hot
Hey buddy how are ya? Your lil girly is sooo cutieful!!!! My beautiful province girl wifey, and I are waiting for grand kiddos. Buddy you are very blessed! On to the hot concrete. Yep shad cloth like over the truck and also paint the concrete white that will reflect the heat better. My wife and I bought another house in the province. It was orange we had I painted white to help with heat reflection. Buddy I’m glad you are well and happy. God bless you and yours.
i'm sure you check lazada for the stuff. But also make sure you use good strong rope to attach to the shade cloth. MMake sure its anti-UV rating rope. Tie good strong knots when hanging.
Ned be careful check make sure the roof your hooking it too can take the wind whipping of the tarp. You might be better off just building a bamboo rack to hold it, and get the black off the cement. Guys keep having fun
I'd use the type of tarp you have up now would give great shade on that side....have maybe someone stitch 3 or 4 of them together to make one huge tarp. Also maybe some bigger plants against that wall might block some of the heat also.
If you want to block out the sun but still have some sunlight come thru. There is window screen material that does that. You can block out 50% or 75% or more. It comes in 36" wide or 48" wide material. Length varies but I assume you can get 25' rolls. You can also use for your windows that face the sun. Check with someone who does screen replacement and they can tell you what is available.
Ned is there a tarp that is black on one side n silver on the other to reflect the sun off? We used to coat commercial buildings rooms with asphalt aluminum vibrated coating which did this. I’m going to search for some type of tarp see if there is such a thing great video
trust me its just too simple plant shrub, hedge, trees, anything its natures airconditioning .....sure it will take time in the meantime shade cloth its predictred to GET HOTTER so chop chop start planting.
Perfect thumbnail. You've got good eye for it.
what she is cooking looks so yummy!!!
Good Video 📹 👍

Ned I really enjoy the upbeat nature of your videos..
That black net works. We had a big section of it when I worked at Lowe’s. Kept it way cooled than out in the sun.
I suggest you use a container garden with very narrow path for car and motorcycle. Lots of banana trees, bamboo, mango trees and cacao trees. Create an artificial jungle canopy. Everybody wants to see your mahogany trees growing in large containers. Containers on wheels?
How many heat related videos have you made, Ned? 😆
Lurve 😜Celene Dion🇨🇦 I got it👍*looking good guys🥂
Tall potted plants along the wall will help
Exhaust fan in the attic. Another one near the ceiling in the largest room.
Simple pal plant a mid grown talisay tree will grow in no time cover the whole area up,plant it on the side area and itll grow over the port area
wow that food looks so good

Misters will solve your problem attach it to your netting, Very popular here in Central Ca.
Paint in black, brown, or dark blue. BTW, nice open kitchen and cook.
I agree, painting it white will reflect more heat into the house.
I stand corrected. White concrete is right but who has one. White marbles are cool but $$$. Plywoods might work. Just water the cement on hot days and scrub it clean with long handle, is cheapest.
Can't You paint it or put that Reflective Silver insulator material on there?
Paint the roof white that will cut down the temperature.
How about some artificial grass carpet?
Hope you find a solution. I hear it get pretty hot in the Philippines this time of the year.
Yep, painted white, everything you can
In Australia we use "solar sails" they block up to 90% of UV light and heat. They look like a course mesh material and work super well.
I love what you have done to your house. You guys look great! Zoe is so cute!!!
Ned i know you may not believe it but. The concrete is black with mildew and dirt. so washing it with a pressure washer and bleach would not only look better but would attract less and hold less heat. and would smell better and look better also.
Does your house have whirly bird style exhaust vents on the roof? They are inexpensive to buy and reduce the heat in your attic by 3-6F where I live.

God damn !!! That food is looking gorgeous!

Radiant barrier paint?
Think we are going to go with shade tarps. Experiment with a few to see what works.
Hello Ned, it is very dangerous for the Baby to play around the Bike. You have a Beautiful Family. Take care.
The sun shade screen sounds good. The black of the concrete is a fungus or mold that can be treated and washed to normal concrete color and so not so hot
Why don't you build a frame made of bamboo and use palm leaves as a roof cover
Power washing the driveway to get the black out could not hurt. (the lighter the color the less it absorbs)
Hey buddy how are ya? Your lil girly is sooo cutieful!!!! My beautiful province girl wifey, and I are waiting for grand kiddos. Buddy you are very blessed!
On to the hot concrete. Yep shad cloth like over the truck and also paint the concrete white that will reflect the heat better. My wife and I bought another house in the province.

Greetings from Philippines from Kelly Gang. Hope to see you again fam ! ❣❣

Hey Ned the only way to really beat the heat ,is live in a house on much higher ground then it will be cooler .
What the city Are you live ??
You can fry an egg on it.
Maybe there's a special coating you can put on that concrete?
That’s the bonus when your Filipina wife cooks dinner for you, the living touch!
trust me its just too simple plant shrub, hedge, trees, anything its natures airconditioning .....sure it will take time in the meantime shade cloth its predictred to GET HOTTER so chop chop start planting.
It's going to get hotter. You should have known.
Thanks, Chad.
double or triple the black screen cover.
c’mon dude it’s dirt cheap!!!
1.50 USD is pretty cheap fer sure. Lol.
Start removing the concrete.
Adding concrete makes your house HOT every one knows that.
