  • Greenhouse Blinds

    Hi all,
    I wonder if anyone knows where I could get some greenhouse blinds. We have just built ourselves a wooden victorian greenhouse which looks beautiful and I don't want to spoil it by using shading paint. I've tried searching the web for blinds but can only find piddly 2ft wide ones or green shading material which I don't like the sound of. The areas that need shading are 5ft wide so the 2ft options won't work. I am happy (I think?) to make them myself if I can find some white shading material. Any ideas?

    you could make some from Tilers Lath's cut in half long ways (1" x 1/2") and link them together ans stain them to look like a Hardwood.

    Like to see a piccy of the Greenhouse some time.

    Shading material - you could use this Fleece or Muslin.

    Try Paul Barlow in Aberdeen (URL below)

      Are conservatory blinds any good? I know you can buy these in a good sized width.

        Thought of conservatory blinds but I think they are a bit pricy for a greenhouse

              You can get a green net material that you can throw over your greenhouse in the height of summer, the name however evades me.
