I
have been working on one of my many “Summer” projects. This one
was to replace the shade trellis over Clyda's orchids. The old one
was built with lumber I had on-hand and of course the termites loved
it.
The
new one is made with all pressure treated lumber which should last
longer than I will.
The
units are basically two 4x8 frames covered with nursery cloth and
that is covered with 4x8 sheets of white plastic trellis. The trellis
is needed as the racoons walk on top of the unit and fall through the
nursery cloth if there is no support provided. The cloth is 6 feet
wide so 2 feet of it hang down on the front to provide more shade.
