We tried the umbrella thing, but honestly, a louvre roof is a whole different level. We put one over our patio last year, and it’s been a game changer for dinner time.

Feels way more comfortable than battling a flimsy umbrella every evening. If you want to see something similar, here’s an example: https://louvretec.co.nz/products/846/sun-louvre-systems
