The summers here in the inland southern california can be brutal. I get sun scald on my tomatoes and peppers pretty bad. I was thinking about installing some shade cloth over my raised bed. I notice they sell it in many different percentages and types of material. Does anybody have recommendations for %, material, manufacturer, etc.? I only need about 10' x 10' and most I saw online were really expensive and came in 100' rolls. Would something like this be ok? My garden is situated where it receives sunlight from sun up to sun down.
