Will this provide good shade from the sun or will it build heat under it?

probably both, I have infinity pool and this was a good decision, one thing you need to do when you tarp your pool, water potentially pile up on it and you need to pump the water from surface before removing the tarp otherwise would be too heavy to remove, but very happy with the purchase and the decision.

Absolutely. Mine is on the patio and has helped reduce not only the temp in the house but has helped lower the electric bill a little. It's a great shade and I really recommend it.

definitely in the shade... I installed mine in about 80 degree weather without a problem...

I use it under a covered patio with about 6-8 inches of clearance and have had no issues. The heat seems to be very effectively distributed to the sides.

Since ithe shade is made with fabric, I'd say it could only be used in a patio is fully enclosed without any exposure to elements.

It did provide shade adequate shade and is pretty roomy inside but if its really hot make sure to let air circulate.

I don't think that it would work very well. You need room above the light to disapate the heat

Any source of heat is fine.. I have it in my car so sunlight is good enough

Mine is set up to get direct sunlight because that just happened to be where I needed them, but I don't think it was necessary. As long as it is not under shade all day it should be fine.

It does tend to get pretty hot but not horrible. I have mine partially under cover from the tiki bar roof which helps.

Yes, it likes the sun. Since I live in AZ, however, I gave it a little protection in its first year by planting it just behind a post supporting our porch roof. It is already branching hardily around the post, looking very happy to be here.

My guess is it will if not in direct sunlight. The metal will absorb the heat from the sun.

If left in shaded area it will be fine, I got it for my twin grandsons and my daughter leaves it up all summer and it is fine, and she lives in Louisiana. Hope this answers your question

yes, but it's designed to protect from the elements so expect it to be warmer beneath

Yes it will. You will want to set it off to the side and not directly on or above the heat.

It will provide shade but tomatoes generally like full sun, when watered properly. It will also create heat if there is no air outlet. Good luck!!

the Mesh doesnt affect the shade unless it is Morning or late evening sun, and that kind of light isnt hot like midday sun. For the price this is a really good Shelter...if your going to a beach be sure to use sand stakes...4 minimum, 6 if your going to be in winds above 35mph...with 6 sand stakes this thing isnt budging in a gust...we sheltered in ours from a squall that blew in on the Virgin Islands, with more than 25MPH gusts...
