Consider if the shade would work against something you want, like growing light-loving plants in winter, and otherwise buy what you think looks best.

Newbie greenhouse question. I just purchased a similar greenhouse, I live in San Diego, and was hoping to keep a few tropical plants in there. (Outside tropical s during frost, and some year round. I've set it up outside, on a east west axis, it will get morning east, early afternoon south sun. It dawned on me that I haven't educated myself on how much light this material lets through. The only article I've found is that this is a sort of 6mm plastic that lets about 91% of the light though. I'm concerned about burning my plants! Do I need a shade cover for these type of greenhouses? Thanks!!
