Have you considered black mesh.
We had one made up from an agricultural supply house. Ours is 80%, but it is avaiable in varying degrees of light filtering, from 30% upwards.
Does not trap heat. Sags a little when wet, but soon dries.
Not expensive, ours is ten years old and still looks new.

I use white cord to attatch it as the structure is white. I also use plastic covered wire to suppot it across its width (20' x 12') The sort of wire granny used for her net curtains
