So I had an idea to use a 10x10 popup screen room canopy......
 
Seems to be OK and gives 20- 50k lux of light through the canopy all day. 
 
 
Here is the project so far:
 
YetiGrow Beta 1.0 Wenzel Pop-up Shadehouse...  Wally World around $180.00 delivered. (To an island)
 

 
The inhabitants seem to enjoy it.
 

 
 
 

 
 

 

 
 

 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The YetiGrow raised bed kiddie pool for Square foot approach in soil-less chow.
 

 
 
The chow mix...... Mycos added as well.
 
Xlarge Vermiculite
 

 
Sunshine #4
 

 
 
Coco Coir.... this brand actually is Organically certified.  We enjoy their Waterhold product as well.

Yes good solution. Temps at 84°/73° got to protect the peppers! Hopefully you aren't going to the beach soon! Aloha!

I'm surprised shade screen is necessary. Hawaiian sunlight too intense?

It is for the sun and to keep pests down. Oh and wild pigs out.

White Flies are friggin insane here. Have to stay on it 7 days a week.
