How to make a shade cover for my pergola
I would like to make a cover for the top of my existing pergola to provide shade when sitting under the pergola. I believe they are called "wave shades". Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

For anyone who is not familiar with what wave shades are, the first picture below shows an example. These are usually retractable.
Picture #2 shows an example of sail shades, which are generally fixed in position.
Hello,
We have added Netlon plastic mesh on top of all our Pergolas and have plants growing up and over to provide shade.
Use a tarp and string it up from the holes with bungee cloths they come in diffrent colors and sizes
