The sun doesn't shine through .. I would recommend plants that do well in the shade for under the sail. I am not putting my sail up this year because it did not hang properly and sagged in the middle.

I put these on my deck which gets the morning sun. I only had one plant, but didn't have much luck with it growing. Hope this helps.

Yes light gets through. Do not take off too soon in the day, wait until warmed up or leaves will burn from the shock.

It's heavy paper so it blocks out direct sun, however, it does let defused light in. It is not a blackout shade. One of the reasons I got it is I have plants that can not take direct sun, they'll burn, but they do need light, this shade is perfect.

I think it is obvious that a sunny place would work best particularly once the plants are established. Of course, watering is important as well. I put some herbs in one a few years back, had plenty of sun and water, grew like crazy!

I have no idea. I keep the umbrella open at all times to protect part-sun/part-shade plants on my patio.

I've had this system for more than 6 years and had no algae problem until a couple of months ago when I moved it to another part of the kitchen. It turns out it was now getting direct sun that it never got before so I moved it back to where it was and haven't had a problem since.

No need to keep in the shade. I have plants in full sun and water as usual.

It will depend on the number of plants you have and how tall they are. The more leaves, the more transpiration. The surrounding humidity will also have an impact. It will need more water if it is on a windowsill over a radiator. I have mine a balcony filled with herb plants. It goes at least a week between waterings in the worst of the summer heat.

My pond is an 800 (plus/minus) gallon pond. The filter did an amazing job. The UV light kept the algae at bay. My pond gets 50% sun. It stayed crystal clear all season. If you have a full sun pond, I could only guess that the UV should handle it.

Yes, the sunlight gets through and the covered plants grow to good size, although I couldn't tell if it was somewhat slower. My plants were all ready at harvest time. If you seal the fabric to the bed (I use a raised bed) you can keep flying insects from bothering the plants. If crawling insects have a route in, they will likely move in. To avoid having to take the cover off too frequently, put a drip system inside and run the water tube in through a close fitting hole.

Yes, rain will come through as this is a woven fabric. I have hanging plants on my pergola. Our patio furniture doesn't have cushions. We will replace this next season with the same product...first must get one more hurricane season out of it. Hope this helps.

I only use them outdoors. We live in dry south central NM and they are my insurance that my plants get water when they need it.

Patti,Sunlight is filtered through which allows lighting during the day. No sun screen is needed. Sincerely,Exclusive Home and Furniture Inc

Yes! I bought these for my outdoor container plants on my deck. The glass globe ones I use on the indoor plants would not hold enough water during the warmer late spring early summer months when gone for a week or two. These do the trick! I actually use them year round!

I live in Pa., Mine is outside on the porch and I get alot of sun. I only water mine twice a month. sounds like your over watering. Once the temps drops i will bring it inside and put it where it will get alot of sun.
