Hi,
I finally get a shelve for placing plants outside, but many of the plants that I buy struggle to tolerate full sun, so I'm planning to get a shade screen.

Does anyone have any recommendation about the percentage of UV cover?

I read that 70% is used for greenhouses but I need some advice on this.

You didn't elaborate which types of plants you grow. But for most varieties commonly grown, you will want no more than 40% shade. Any higher cuts out too much sun.

Whoops yeah I forgot thanks for pointing that out.
I'm thinking about throwing some sundews, cephalotus, pinguicula and a nepenthes hookeriana, this last one a small version of it.
Also I have no idea if it would be suitable to place some succulents at the very first part of the shelve.
