That did it a google search gave heaps of info.

I hope the idea of one sided lath house like Wolfgangs will do the job for me. Also maybe I can modify the shade house by getting rid of the shade cloth and replacing with slates of wood.

What is the hottest temp that Wolfgangs trees in the Northern Hemisphere had to withstand. Try more moss to keep the roots cool,remember slatts alow intermintant full sun rays. Pup

It looks like Wolfgang's area has a highest temp of 37 deg celcious wich is at least 8 less than us.
This is what gets me though. I see the trees at the bonsai nursery's out in full sun.
I gatherd that the temps were they are(350 km away) had a slightly different climate. I am assured by Ray Nesci this is not my problem. but then again he grows beech and states it is too hot here for them? I often use the same soil as Ray because I buy it off him. I tried the shade house this year and ended up worse than ever.
It seems the more I try the worse it gets. Surley if Ray can grow his in full sun I should be able to grow mine in dappled shade.
I will try a few different soil mixes again next year. I prefer a soil mix that can be over watered, the one that stays wet for a few days in hot weather tends to catch me out. I would be concerned that spag moss would cause this problem.
I hope I can get it next year.
Thanks for all the responses, out of confusion will eventually come clarity.
