Yes, it is galvanized aluminum. It is shiny. I have some ex-military surplus, so was considering putting up the camouflage-netting as an experiment. I'm intending to have it raised a couple of feet above the roof for an air space, Would the partial shading be effective, or would it trap reflected heat in the air space? I've never tried it, but thought perhaps some one else had. Thank you.

If the surface facing the sun has high reflectivity, I would leave it alone.
If it had low reflectivity (dull gray?), maybe some white sealant paint would help.

If you had any kind of shading above the roof, that's going to help cut the heating inside.
I would not use netting that came in contact with the surface, since it might conduct
it's heat gain into the aluminum.

Being a Texan in a former life, I know that aluminum is going to be very hot on sunny days.
Radiant heat is going to cook anything near it, and it's going to warm the air inside the shed.
