Grapevine arbor/trellis question

Trying to decide where to build a grapevine arbor/trellis.

Here is the layout of my garden. The top of the picture is basically nw. Calling that 12 o'clock the sun sets in the summer months at about 10 o'clock. The garden is roughly 30'x27'.

My preferred thought is to build an overhead arbor/trellis structure down one of the long narrow aisles (2'x upto 30') and plant the grapevine in a bed near center (lengthwise) of that aisle and train the grapevine to grow down it both ways but I am concerned about shade created by the grapevine.

If I plant it on the aisle on the 3 oclock side of the garden it will cast a shadow in the morning and on the 9 oclock side in the evening.

Is this shade going to cause me a problem do you think? I do live in an oven and thought maybe it might if be helpful if planned correctly.

I don't actually have to put the grapevine in the garden perimeter but would like to. I have better soil already prepared, raised beds and easy watering and it is fenced to keep my llamas out.
