Finally, my first real post!
On the weekend I finally got off my bum and had a go at building some display stands for my trees.
I'm not sure if I should use slates or shade cloth for the tops, comments would be welcome.
Cheers
Mark

Re: Bonsai Display Area
Great design fantastic effort 
Deborah talked me out of doing slates or lathe house is another word for what I think you mean. She believes that the sun still burns through them. Not sure myself but we do know shade cloth works well. I would go for a 50% one but on second thoughts your trees look mostly sun lovers maybe even a 25% if you can get it.
Or maybe the slats would be a good idea
Glad I could help

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Re: Bonsai Display Area
Thanks for the kind words, I am leaning towards shadecloth for the top and maybe a front 'curtain' in case of hail or frost.
I'm planning on an irrigation system running along the back of each shelf and a mist system from behind the front board.
Now I just have to get some decent trees to fill them!
