I've been trying to come up with an idea to keep my big black tree pots from baking in the sun...
This is the reed fence they sell at Lowe's. It is 6' tall and 15' long.. I cut it with the clippers... it's braided with wire, so I just twisted the ends to connect the "skirt".

It's not the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, but when I under plant with Caladiums, you won't see the top. I believe this pot will be out in the sun better than straight black.. and Heaven knows, with that $23. reed fence.. I have enough to do a LOT more pots this way!
