While the added architectural look is pleasing, it also adds more functionality to a shelter. The cantilever roof is beautiful, anchored with its overhanging planes suspended in the air, it covers every inch of useful space. As seen here, it is effective in keeping a walkway open, preventing obstruction of the view and extending the shade.

The meteorological character of wood gives a perfect balance of comfort that is not found in any other alternative shade material.
