Any light weight fabric will work. You could do a simple muslin or get something with a print that can change with the seasons. I've also seen lace used.
Lace. Buy it at your local fabric store
shower curtains come to mind - not the plastic ones but the nylon fabric ones. shade cloth might work as well
Landscape fabric. Can be bought at Dollar stores. Many uses!
Shade fabric
Nice idea. Thank you!
Cheap nylon curtains???
If u decide on shade cloth check prices between big box diy stores and commercial plant growers. a growers supply company might have remnants marked much less expensive
shade cloth is a knitted material- the growers supply places use it for the shade houses for the temporary hoop type green houses found in parking lots this time of year. you can get it in black, white or green. I had panels made to fit the in between the studs of a enclosed 2nd story deck. you can also add grommets and use wire or curtain hardware to hang them. you could also just staple it in place.
it comes in different sun block ratings. 60-90 % blocking power.
Maybe a drop cloth .
Thank you all for the suggestions. I really appreciate all your help.
