You want filtered rather than full shade
The open roof softens direct sun while letting light and air through — a comfortable middle ground between full sun and a solid roof.

Lattice patio covers use spaced rafters or aluminum lattice members to provide filtered shade while maintaining an open-air feel. They're a pergola-style solution that softens direct sun without blocking the sky, ideal for defining Danville outdoor dining and seating areas.

A lattice patio cover uses lattice tubes and rafters across beams and posts, with spacing tuned to the shade level you want. Footings support the posts where required, and the structure can be attached or freestanding. Powder-coated aluminum and Alumawood options keep maintenance low, and decorative end cuts add architectural character.
