The connections are dry fitted and you may need to tap them back in place several times throughout the summer season😊

@@theplantninja-texasgardener Thank you.

@SeanMcAnarney 2 года назад

Your highlighting the parts as you speak of them really helps the instruction. Well done!

@sandiem5361 Месяц назад

I like your idea better than attaching the PVC pipes to your raised beds. Also, with having the structure on the outside perimeter of the garden gives you more flexibility to move it around. Perfect for a beginner or for someone that is renting a home. Thank you so much for sharing.🌻🌷🌺

@theplantninja-texasgardener Месяц назад

So glad it was a help to you! Also with the PVC being dry fit, you can take the structure apart and store for next year.

I think those U-shaped garden hooks that hammer into the ground would be perfect to anchor this contraption! Anyway, going to build something like this to cover my container pond since it gets WAY too much sun for fish...

@theplantninja-texasgardener 6 дней назад

Glad to hear you’re going to conform to make it work for you. You’ll have to update us and let us know if the u shaped hooks work. 😊

Thank you for the marching orders. Next free weekend project. Best wishes.

I would leave the overhang of the sunshade loose for more coverage and as Maximus added below, a few screws for security due to wind and even use a bungee cord to a security point - I add this as my small table umbrella did cart wheels around my yard last night 🤣 Loved the screen shots of the materials used, thanks for the video!

@theplantninja-texasgardener 2 года назад

Cathie, I keep checking to see if the canopy has flown off😛 So star so good, but y’all are right. I think I need to secure it better. I appreciate y’all taking the time to add some great suggestions. I learn so much from the comment section 🙌

@growingoutthebox 2 года назад

I like this. Very good diy. Working on kinda umbrellas for my peppers and tomatoes.

@theplantninja-texasgardener 2 года назад

Will you make a video? Definitely would be interested in seeing other shade options 🙌

@maximusgreat8433 2 года назад

Thanks for this. Been thinking that I need to do the same…but wind is my challenge. I think though that I could do this and maybe lock in the top section with some drilled out holes and zip ties in the corner connectors and legs (tying them all together).

@theplantninja-texasgardener 2 года назад

That’s a terrific idea! I will likely do the same. I do want to be able to take it down but I suppose that’s nothing more than clipping a few zip ties.

@susannebarnhart1322 2 года назад

Great concept, I see success! Your plants will appreciate the semi shade. Sure like the idea of pottery for slow watering I assume ⁉️

I learned that terracotta pot trick from a master gardener 💗

@ellev5092 Месяц назад

Hi, I love your video and the highlighted parts as you're building the shade structure. Just wondering if you're still using the structure in your garden? I'm curious to know if it's held up. Thank you!!!

@theplantninja-texasgardener Месяц назад

So glad the video was a help! The canopy is still going strong! I’ll be setting it up in about a week to use through august.

@ellev5092 Месяц назад

@@theplantninja-texasgardener Awesome, thank you so much for the update! Looking forward to more videos!!! 😊

@bobgarcia182 3 месяца назад

This is a really good, instructional video. I'm going to make a shade structure like this for my container, vegetable garden sits on our concrete driveway and it gets blasted by the afternoon sun for a few hours in the hottest summer months. One question: is the structure very hard to take apart for storage in the winter.? Thanks very much for the video!

@theplantninja-texasgardener 3 месяца назад

I’m so glad you found it helpful! The connections are dry fitted so I find it pretty easy to take apart even without help. Finding storage space for the top is the challenge as it’s so large, but I just rest it against the inside of my garage wall.

@bobgarcia182 3 месяца назад

Thank you!

@creinicke1000 Год назад

All great.. here in AZ I've tried several things.. I like the pvc because of ease..BUT wind we get, especially during haboobs destroy it all. I'm a work in progress trying to figure it out, but either burying the base.. or slice the cloth so it's not a sail.

@theplantninja-texasgardener Год назад

Hello from Texas! I have had some really windy days and have done well with weighting the base with stone. I think the lower shade percentage helps as well because there’s more “room” between each fabric strip for air to go through. That being said, I definitely think this design can be augmented to fit different gardening needs and I think you’re on the right track! Best wishes and happy gardening😊

@SeanMcAnarney 2 года назад

Why do we need a shade set up? Why can’t we just water the dickens out of the plants?

@theplantninja-texasgardener 2 года назад

Watering is important but so is the prevention of water loss. A screen can help decrease evaporation (along with a good layer of mulch). A shade can also cut down on radiation from the sun, which helps prevent sun scalding/scorching. Apparently there’s also a particulate film you can apply to the plants(I guess like sunscreen) that can help cut down on some of the effects of the sun’s radiation.

How does this handle high winds, from summer storms?

@theplantninja-texasgardener 10 месяцев назад

Yes mine has done well with weighing down with heavy stones along the corners. The connections are dry fitted so sometimes I’ll have to tighten them up after a heavy wind. I typically don’t have this up through spring/fall so I miss the bigger storms for the most part.
