Infant Shade Trellis

It gets scorching hot here, a searing lava lamp burning in the sky that throws you down and lays you prostrate for weeks on end. Tropical, happy bird, cicada-screaming hot.
Now though it's just mildly hot and wet with typhoons rolling through, thunder drumming, rain on rooftops.
And creatures coming out to feast on all of the other creatures coming out to feast on all the other creatures.
Soon we'll need something like this — a live trellis, simply made of bamboo and string and clinging vines — to block out the sun.
I'm thinking we're a little late though. We should have already started. We'll have to settle for some plain bamboo blinds. I'm going to Montana.
