This corner of my back yard gets the most sunlight in the winter months, but it's too much in the Phoenix Summers, so I needed to be able to shade it. The dogs also like to get into mischief, so I went for a full enclosure that I could fence in.

It took about 40 pieces of 10' 3/4" EMT. Countless connectors. Many cans of spray paint. It has 2 gates. I suspended 4 sections of 50% shade cloth using 1/8" steel rope. To thread the cable, I cut 2" sections of pipe and clamped them with a t-connector at the top of each post with threaded inserts and 1/4" shouldered eye bolts. This way I can retract the shade in the winter.

I have a set of ground stakes i plan to help anchor it and hopefully add a bit more rigidity.

I really like the gate hinge and latch design. It was pretty easy to install. I plan to paint them to help protect them from the harsh AZ sun tho.

I may experiment with getting some solar plastic for December and January with the plastic clips, but haven't quite decided yet. Shade and fence were my highest priority.
