The range of stylish solutions includes plants, pergolas and permanent screens, along with retractable sunshades (above), shade sails and curtains to add to your structure or balcony. There are loads of options, from pergolas to shade sails and retractable sunshades. Wisteria and grapevine are popular deciduous options if you're happy to let in the winter sun, while evergreen options include star jasmine, bower vine and bougainvillea, to name a few (see "Plants for pergolas", far right). The other option is to get some curtains made in a fabric that's UV-resistant and designed for the outdoors (right) - handy if your pergola supports are on an angle and you need a custom solution.
