Building a shade structure for your garden? We can help!
High temperature can burn your plants and they might die. How can you save them?
Well, it’s pretty simple. You can build a shade structure over them and put a shade net to save them from extreme heat and burns.
The first thing you need to do while preparing a shade structure is searching a good shade structure supplier. The supplier can provide you with all the important equipment to build a shade over your garden.
After you have found a shade structure supplier, you can contact him and order a shade structure for your garden. Once you have all the important supplies you can start with building the shade structure over your garden.
The process:
- The process of building a shade structure begins with digging holes to put posts that basically hold the entire structure.
- Now you need the fence rings. These fences are to be bolted into the already existing posts. The posts will strongly hold on to the fence. However, the posts are not cemented to the ground yet.
- Now post holders are put over the fence. And the posts that were left loose on the ground are to be tightened now. The posts were not tightened before so that they can be levelled and moved if needed. Before you put the cement and tighten the poles, make sure that they are settled well in a straight line.
- Now the distance between the two posts is measured as the posts are meant to hold wooden beams over them. You will need to put brackets to lay these beams across the posts. However, make sure that your brackets are on the same level before you start screwing the wooden beams. The brackets are meant to give extra stability to the wood. You can put the beams crosswords as well to get that extra support for the entire structure.
- Now, after the posts and beams are tightened, it is time to cut the extra pole and put a cap on it. This prevents the rainwater from getting inside the post and rusting on it.
- In this step, you can install an electrical conduit through the structure and tighten them up for stability and durability.
- Finally, the structure is built, and it is time to put a shade over the structure to protect the precious plants in your garden from extreme weather conditions. In this step, it is crucial that you carefully choose the fabric of the shade. You must find high-quality fabric to block the UV rays and heavy rains as they might harm the plants. Secure the shade with staples well to keep it intact through time.
You can also ask your shade structure supplier if they can offer an installation service for your garden’s shade structure. A good supplier is likely to offer a large variety of shade structures and installation services as well. Shade structures have various purposes and protecting your garden is one of them. They can protect the plants and extend their life span as well.
