Hello everyone,
I am currently thinking about the shading for my 5x5m (16x16 ft) wooden deck, which will be used as an outdoor dining area. Normally, I would have installed a louvered roof without hesitation. Until I saw this:
Is such natural shading practical? The distance between the crab apple trees is exactly 5m (16 ft), which matches our dimensions perfectly. Which plants are suitable for this? Preferably not ones that attract a lot of insects...

There will be shading from Japanese maple trees around the wooden deck (marked in red).Is this the right choice of tree?!
Our Japanese maple is now the first casualty among all the trees in our garden, due to drought. If I were to design a garden again, I would choose more drought-resistant plants. An irrigation system would be helpful, but I don’t really favor that option... since villages and towns are already occasionally facing water shortages. These systems consume a lot of water that "we" need.

A sun sail is also not an option, since the sun moves from right to left.

Such a construction is challenging on a sloped wooden deck.
