I read the sticky "cooling" thread but has anyone tried this? For shade or will this just bake my tent? [for the sides]

Or should I stick to regular white heavy duty tarp?

Or white cotton sheets?

[sorry I am a control freak and a planner, I really need to reserach everything I do ack!!]

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I prefer sheets for walls because it'll allow a breeze to get through.

Any color of sheet work best?

You might even want to cut a few holes in it to allow better airflow.

Built one of those for Coachella. I even slept under it instead of my tent, better breeze circulation. Used this white heavy duty tarp to cover it (white reflects the sun!) and these bungee balls to connect it. Here are some pics of my setup:
