My shade house :D Help please?

This is my DIY shade house. Its more like an extension of the house. My dad copied the outside structure of your newly built carport and instead of the metal roofing, he added 70% shade cloth over it. I currently have the cymbs. and speciosums under it and was wonder what others could I add under it?

I have multifloral paphs, paphs, phrags, molted leaved paphs, den. nobile, sarcs. and oncidiums. So far i was told i can put normal leaved paphs and multifloral paphs under the 70% but i dont have any cover the top so it will receive rain.

I also got lots of molted leaved paphs, where should I put those? I extended a windowsil in my bathroom for my phals. Should I put the molted paphs there? or outside?

What should be under cover away from the rain and what can i leave outside under shade but with rain? My parents cannot control themselves when at the shows, and they purchased heaps of orchids, but im not sure where to put them. The only thing i purchase are vandas and speciosums.

Here are show photos...

Hope you all can help me out.

Nice set up.

I can't really provide any help in regards to the shadecloth matter.
