Sun Shade

So the new front patio is awesome but we still get too much sun in the afternoon.  I was looking at cloth sails or retractable shades but I did not want something flapping around in the wind making lots of noise.

I went to Highland Steel downtown LV and bought 80ft of angle iron.  I wanted extra laying around for other projects.  All the bamboo was sold out of Lowes/HD so I had to order a roll on line.  I figure bamboo will let the wind through and block most of the sun.

After cutting and brushing the metal I drilled holes every 5cm for the zip ties
It is always a good day when I get to use the welder. Thanks Charlie.
Added some rustoleum, concrete into the ground, and mounts to the facia boards.  Security camera will need to find a new home.
OSHA inspector making sure the shovel is in good shape and the holes are deep enough
