Trellis/Canopy cover
I have a trellis on my porch that measures 22‘ x 10‘. I am interested in getting a shade canopy, maybe Sunbrella, That I can use for sun/weather protection. I need it to be re-tractable. Any ideas of who does this work or how I can go about purchasing one that is not a universal size? Here is a pic of the trellis .

there was a recent thread about a yurt cover, maybe it got deleted as I don't see it, but boat canvas guys could make that: https://www.google.com/search?client...UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

Wait, do you want sun protection or weather protection? Those are pretty different ideas.
If just for sun, consider the kind that run on steel cables. It looks like your trellis would work well with something like that.
Like so:

Make sure it is very secure and that your trellis/pergola is super solid. They act like a parachute in windstorms. I did mine last summer and the fabric actually ripped my pergola apart and upwards. I have since beefed it up big time.

Really good info here. Primary intended use is shade, but water resistance would be great. RootSkier, that looks really good. Wave shades: I'll try it!

we had a proposal to cover a patio 16' x 22' from a local shade/sail/tent provider, incl posts/footings on one side (house would anchor other side)
$4k
it would have looked & performed well, but fuck that...we planted some trees for a couple hundred instead

Shade that is waterproof is also going to be windproof, so it will trap more heat and catch more wind. Do you really want to sit outside when it’s raining even under cover?

Shade that is waterproof might be wind proof. But not likely. Especially in the exposed area he's in. Even a moderate wind will load up mounting points and tear things up. Retractible might be the way to go. Deploy when you want to use it, roll when you're not. Will keep the canvas lasting many times longer as well. UV eats that stuff up if left exposed and it'll practically decompose in just a few years.
