My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Thanks for your interest! It is inexpensive shade cloth- the kind you can get at any big box home improvement center. Look for bolts of it for sale by the ft in the garden center.

    Thank you - what do you think the durability is of this (especially east bay - 100 degrees in summer)

    Can you suggest something more of a durable nature?

    I find it to be very durable. It does photodegrade, but any polymer based outdoor fabric will. Other than that, it is weather proof.
