Techweenie note of the day --
IR (infrared) thermometers seem to be much cheaper, smaller & more widely available nowadays than when I bought one years ago for around $200 -- the internets show them as low as $40. These could be handy for testing your & other people's shade structures, you just point them at a surface and they give you an instant temperature reading. Just don't leave them in the sun, it'll fry the LCD screen.

Just thought real data might beat all the endless wanking over whether Acme Sugar-Coated Fishnet is better than Ace Hydrogen-Infused Zeppelin Cloth.
Plus you can check the heat of the coals under the Man before you go rolling around in it.
