have a friend who, after building theirs, decided there were days when solid shade was needed! rigged a pullie system so that a large piece of canvas [that his wife bought and added grommets to] can be attached to a couple of clips and pulled from the ground up and over the top of the pergola...thus, providing relief from the sun! made him happy that they did not have to invest in a gazebo!
