Attached are the pictures of my home arch, as we enter the house. As you see there are some wood decorative beams are placed between the arch and the roof, where the entry door is there.

I want to replace these wood beams with something else for looks and as well as for some shade as we intend to make this as sitting area.

Any ideas or thoughts ?

Built in pergola, very nice.

Here's a slew of picture ideas - https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=pergola+cover&FORM=HDRSC2


I'm kinda keen on the retractable canopy style, so you can have sun if you want and it'd fit your space better.

You can search "pergola cover" in other search engines for even more - just switch over to the "images" or "pictures" search

You can get shade material of different light transmission. Rails can be mounted to existing joists, if they are straight (might look better if you inset the rails into the joists, but they can be surface mounted also).

Thank you for the thought.
