Is a retractable awning or wood louvered “ceiling” less expensive for a deck?

Can you answer Tracy R’s question about Canopies?:
We have a 10′ x 20′ deck that faces west and gets HOT (Colorado). Would it be less expensive to get a retractable fabric awning or have someone build a wood lattice roof?

Canopies Feedback: A wooden cover that keeps out most of the sun will be much more expensive but look nicer.
Canopies Feedback: You can check out Sunsetter Awnings website for prices on retractable awnings. It will probably be cheaper than building any wood cover.
Canopies Feedback: I’m pretty sure a retractable awning would be less expensive….plus on cool nights you can retract it and still enjoy the night sky!
