Typically found in gardens and backyards, a pergola is a structure that says, �Sit here. Let�s visit awhile.� It includes vertical posts supporting a lattice of crossbeams that provide limited shade. Pergolas come in all shapes and sizes and help to define an outdoor space, often for backyard entertaining. Pergola only provide limited because it is built from a frame with open rafters, it can't fully protect from weather elements. Willow trellis fence and teak wood log stalks provide additional shade on hot summer days. They are basically 3 different types of wood shading material you may used

Willow Fence Panels

Pre build willow hurdle panels have a natural woven pattern that are attractive and provide thigh woven willow panel that will provide good cover shading even in light rain.

 

The best screening resources that are suitable for adding natural shade to the top of your structure varies, depending on your location around the globe. These screens are supplied in rolls held together by galvanized wire strands and are sold for screening or hiding aspects, such as fences, in your garden. Willow either peeled or unpeeled in natural brown color are material will last 5 year, bamboo are heavier and last longer. Reed are not recommended because it just would not last in outdoor, heather fence may be use if you like the dense shading.

The other option would be teak wood which is the hardier and stronger among all these material mentioned. Teak will last practically forever in the outdoor. Natural teak wood poles or stakes provide natural look and the durability in our garden -outdoor setting.

The biggest issue seems to be the degradation of the natural material in climates that have large variation from summer to winter, this will mean in time you may need to replace or update these types of shade.

Regular yearly cleaning is recommended. just like you would take care of your roof.

if you like artistic pattern of the willow hurdle panel or bamboo lattice panels, they are the good options also. These panels are ready made panel usually come in dimension of 6' x 6', so it is a little difficult to get them to use if you have a non standard pergolas top dimension.
