I’m putting together my first shade structure for my camp’s commons space this year.

I put together a shade structure using emt conduit, joints, tarp, an bungee balls. Did a test run today and it looked great! Although all conduit pieces are 10 feet, meaning the height of the structure is 10 feet.

I’m worried that the 10 foot tall structure will cast a shadow too far away from where we actually wanna sit? The entire structure is 10x20, so I guess there is some lateral give.

Overall, anyone have experience with shade structures and have advice on optimal height? 8 feet maybe?
