That's perfect. Where did you get it made?

We do a lot of high altitude hot weather camping. 8 years ago I had a 12' x 28' shade cloth made out of Aluminet material. This stuff is made from metalized polyester, is very tough, reflects sunlight, vents hot air and is super light. It is fully hemmed and has metal grommets installed. When camping I just throw it over the coach and tie it down with 6 bungee cords. It will hold up to almost any wind and you can run the roof air under it.
Look it up on the internet. It's great stuff. This one custom made, cost about $125. Well worth the price.

Rick

Look for Aluminet on the internet. There are several places that assemble it. I think I used the Green House Store, but it's been a long time. I tell you though, you won't be disappointed. Really rugged stuff. It's used for commercial shading on permanent structures.
