should it be in the sun all day,
can it be in the shade in the afternoon,
can it be in part shade all day we have 3 options on position

Sun all day will be far too hot. Best option from your list is shade in the afternoon as other option leaves some plants perm in sun and others perm in shade.

I don't agree with that, but it depends on what you want to use it for. Most people site in full sun and use shading/ventilation to control temperature. If you intend to use it throughout the year you will want as much light and heat as you can get outside of the summer months. You won't want to move it afterwards if you change your mind about what you grow in it.

I've only ever seen them in full sun.
