My New Summer Home

[Bikerdoc5968]

I would be happy to help you with an article if you want, Howard. In our library, it is as easy as creating a post.

The 60 % shade will be fine as the summer light will also come in the sides of your shade house. Your cattleyas will love you for their new summer home.

Cheers,
BD

I'll take you up on your kind offer... so how do I do it????

Did you take photos to do a photo article, Howard? If so, then most of the work is done. Here are the steps:

1. Go to this page: Orchid Article Library
2. Click on Submit Orchid Article
3. Create a descriptive title for your new article that will give readers an understanding of what is in your article. (IE: Summer Shade House - How To)
4. Choose a category from the drop down list. In this case, choose "General Orchid Care" for lack of a better section.
5. Type the text of your article.
5. Next, upload your photos as attachments
6. Insert your attachments into your article where you would like them to be.
7. Preview your article the same way you would preview a post
8. Make any changes you would like.
9. Once you are happy, click on Submit Orchid Article.

After your article is published, the Admin account will create a thread in the main forum announcing your article has been posted. This happen within 12 hours of publishing the article. Once the thread has been created, your article will be linked in the main forum for comments, questions, and applause.

Please let me know if you need additional instructions or if something is not clear. Feel free to PM me as well.

Cheers,
BD

Very cool. I use a small wooden contraption on my rooftop where I put some of my orchids from late Spring trough Fall. Your structure looks the perfect size.
Would just need to weigh it down so it doesn't fly away but it looks more spacious than what I have now.
