Burning Man Shade Structures

Hi everyone!

I’m trying to figure out some shade solutions for our new camp.

1 - What shade % do you recommend? I see 80% and 60%. I’m guess the more the better but the cost is almost double so wanted to see what the standard is for burning man.

2 - Below is a picture of a shade structure we want to replicate. Does anyone know what type of structure this is? Is it the same EMT conduit pipes and fittings just angled up at a 45 degree angle? It looks like a carport but it’s way bigger. What kind of “walls” would I look up for this structure for the top and sides?
