why not add a pergola or large awning?
Honestly, I’d call for a few estimates and pick their brains about how it would be done. Immediately write down notes, including their thoughts on the Tuflex and how many support trusses to hold it properly.
Lotsa notes so you can made a truly educated plan and decision .

Yeah I would build a wood frame and then add the polycarbonate panels, you can do clear or they have various UV resistent shades at Home Depot.... https://www.google.com/search?q=pictures+of+deck+cover+using+polycarbonate+panels&client=opera&hs=V8l&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiN0t3LxobbAhVmHGMKHcUdDAoQsAR6BAgAEEI&biw=1326&bih=658 I would get someone tie it in to the roof around your chimney.
consider usual direction on incoming rain. pressure treated wood framing using nuts and bolts.. A-start under overhang and let water drip onto lawn with less open air at railing. B-start overhang above shingles drip and open air as in A. C-frame 10 foot high at rail and drain onto shingles using existing roof for drainage. may need building permit.

Before you settle on a design contact your building and safety/ code compliance to determine required span and lumber size. Joist hanger and bolt requirements. Will avoid many headaches if you start construction without a permit and structure requires changes after the fact. Hope this helps
Consider how the weight of the roof may vary depending on the different choices in building materials, if there is going to be any glass, metal eavestroughs, and so forth. Are the present 5 pillars going to support the entire weight of the roof (and the deck) or are there going to be any additions in reinforcement to the structure?
Ensure that your base is going to be sufficiently strong and long-lasting to withstand the additional new weight.
I would add support posts to the deck (above existing posts to transfer load down) and then add some type of covering. I wouldn't attach anything to the house. There are many deck roof or pergola plans.
Hi,
You could add an Awning to the Chimney Stack, or add a Sail, but both would need you to have somewhere it or they could fit too, so I would suggest forming an inside framework to your Railings area, then that will allow you to even enclose it later if you wish.
