So I use mud. It works just as well...until the rain washes it off. I only need the shade for a few weeks anyway, towards the end of the season. Plus, I get to have the fun of throwing buckets of mud. It feels like vandalism  |
Ah, a great way to play while you work! I'd consider that technique, but we get lots of rain over here. (Shh, I know it could be applied on the inside!)
And I need new poly sheeting, as the big storms we had recently finally split the poly all the way down the top.
