Jorge,
we use 30% up north here in Arkansas, keep pines, junipers, maples, redwoods, everything under 30%. One of the 'benefits is that it helps to control loss from dessicating winds. We have one 30x20' panel of 60% shade over a large hoop house, it is just too dark for me- so, somewhere between 30 and 50%.

I buy mine online, get it cut to the length and width needed. I saved a lttle money one year by not getting the edge tape put on, that was a mistake. we now always get the edge tape and eyelets. Just and FYI.

John
