Re: some of my garden
mate i use 50% on both front and top just different colours . the top rides along a guide wire and retracts however i dont really use it . it was more for winter keeping frost out.

I'll be using a similar thing for my bench but more to keep the humidity in.

Re: some of my garden
Very, very neat Matthew. It looks as if you spend a lot of time on up keep. It reflects onto the quality of your Bonsai which is also high. Thanks for sharing.
