Hopefully my greenhouse will be going up this week... but with all this warm weather I'm assuming I'll need to get some form of shading for it.

What is everyones preferred method?

The painted on stuff?
Purpose made netting?
Or something else.

Do you shade on the inside or out (just thinking about the vents).

Lastly do you shade one side of the roof or both and do you need to take it down the sides?

Mine's painted on. Only need to do one side of the roof due to the position of them. It's slapped on the outside.

I've used the paint on stuff as well, far less bother than fixing in netting!

Most seem to make do with flour and water in the allotments round me. They just spray it on with one of those bottles with a little pump in the top.

If you can get hold of that netting that's used to stop stuff falling off scaffolding onto people's heads, you could use that as shading. Would save having to clean mouldy/painted glass!  It's great stuff too for covering seedlings in raised beds - it lets light and rain through and keeps unwanted visitors out - oh, and of course, it serves as a windbreak!

It's called debris netting & here's a few ebay examples.......

I always use paint on shading on the outside of the glass. Can't see the point of shading inside, as once the suns rays have passed through the glass the damage is done.
