Browse Forums Outdoor Living 1 Aug 12, 2010 2:33 pm Hi there DH and I are planning an extension on our home. The deck will face west, not ideal, but that's what we have to work with. We met with our architect today and she suggested shade cloth for the pergola. DH's face dropped (I told him it doesn't need to be green ) I can see why it's a good idea for those 35+ degree days, but it's not really what we imagined... Anyway, does anyone have any ideas on possible alternatives?

We did tinted laserlight roof and put a layer of reed screening under, it looks great our only problem is about 4.30pm onwards the sun shines unbearably in your eyes from one side of the table but having the roof on considerably reduced the afternoon heat in the living areas. Building at Sierra Estate. It might be a bit darker in the mornings but the light is still light, so you should be getting it. Similar to what you see from your western windows 3 20721 i think option 2 is much better with easy access to the garden without having to walk through the new sunroom which makes it a better room for guests and TV .a simple… 2 9306 got it. thanks.
