Greenhouse shade panel system

I have a 6 year old 8x10 Charley's glass greenhouse with an aluminum frame. I recently devised a system of internal shade panels which is extremely easy to put up and take down. There's 15 24" wide shade cloth panels which are held up between the frame pieces with spring-loaded stainless steel rods. The shade cloth is sewn into neat seams at the edges, and the ends are sewn over to make little tubular loops. The rods have a short piece of close fitting stainless tubing which slips over one end of the rod. One end of the tubing and rod have a soft plastic cap over them. A spring fits into the tubing, and the whole assembly can be compressed about 1/2". A panel can be put up in just a few seconds.
