BTW, I built a few shade structures, one with bamboo, another with PT wood. Neither fully satisfy my in my needs. I even added shade cloth on to of the PT wood one.

Here's why.. as the sun rotates over, there may be jus a little of pure light coming thru, but it's 100% and enough to burn my chids. The wood is 6" wide and spaced 1" apart. The was s'posed to give me about 70% shade, but it was definitely a fail. I added the shade cloth to the left half.


The bamboo structure is under two coconut palms and housed my vandaceous plants, so it's good.
