Also, torrential rain 'can' do this as well but that screen is perfect and you should be good to go provided the underground creatures don't make holes in the screen somehow.
>>341931>supposed to get some major thunderstorms and im hoping it doesnt drown anything i haveCut a 1 gal container of milk in half and place it (with the business end facing up) and keep the cap off during the day to let fresh air in as well as fight off above-ground pests. When it rains, close the cap so the plant is protected from the storms and heavy rain beating down on it. Use the opposite end of the container for a similar fashion, except remember to remove it after the rain since it doesn't have an opening and your plants need air. For the potted plants, bring them indoors temporarily or put them under some kind of covering until the storm passes.
You can also put up two same size bamboo sticks on opposite ends, and one longer one in the middle to make an upside down 'V' tent where the water is diverted to the sides and keeps your plants safe from the rain, then reassemble when the next storm comes.
