Getting shade from a pergola
Battens running east to west block more of the midday sun than battens running north to south. Deeper battens set closer together give more shade again.
We look at where the sun sits over your yard and set the batten layout to suit when you use the space.
Batten layout choices
Direction
East to west for midday shade.
Spacing
Closer for more shade, wider for more light.
Depth
Deeper battens cast longer shadows.
