I think that erratic weather is not just a mountain problem. And with climate change, the chaos is bound to get worse, at least in our lifetimes. I'm planning to equip all my outside growing beds with superstructures that can serve to support plastic, ag fabric, bird netting and/or shade cloth as the weather demands. If other folks have had this idea and implemented it, I'd love to know what is easiest and works best. Right now, I'm weighing the pros and cons of stock panels bent in an arch over the beds or a rectangular superstructure of 1x3s. We can have high winds here - people have lost their greenhouses - so adequate wind spilling is an issue.
