Use greenery and potted plants in addition to building material to provide shade and offer a natural feel to your outdoor room. This two-tier overhead rafter supports a canopy of wisteria and trumpet vines.

Top a deck with a canvas canopy for a serenely shaded scene. The canopy offers relief from extreme sun or a light drizzle, and can easily be removed if necessary.

Private Pergola

Add a railing of lattice and vertical spindles to increase the privacy offered by a pergola. To produce a substantial structure, wrap the support posts and railing in 1-inch pine. Decorative arches and plinth blocks are located at the column bases.

Retractable Awning

Install an electric, retractable awning that lets you decide when to shield the sun or welcome the rays. Awnings are available at most home stores and home improvement Web sites. The awning material can match your outdoor style, whether you choose a complementary acrylic fabric or a sturdier material, such as canvas.
