Two layers of Black Shade Cloth, or Aluminet-Black?

[rodiponer]

Hi All,
Have you guys ever used two layers of 90% Black Shade Cloth? Were you satisfied with the shade and wind transparency? Did the material get hot and radiate downward, like a tarp?

In years past I layered Aluminet on top of the 90% Black. To make a deeper shade than just one alone. We liked that the breeze blew through easily, and so our shade didn't feel stuffy as tarp based shades can. But the aluminet is twice as expensive and different dimensions, which makes setup annoying. A double layer of black is less expensive and easier to use. But I am not sure what we'd lose by not having a reflective layer on top of everything.

Photos are of our previous setup. The new shade is the same triangle vibe, but with a larger (10') strut length to reflect that we have a trailer and no longer have to pack everything into 4' long segments. The larger strut length will mean half as many pieces, so less assembly work for the same size.

Nice looking camp,
They make shade cloth in white as well as black (and other colors). I wonder if that would work?
