That's a type of latilla (lath) open roofing common in New Mexico and the southwest. Traditionally its peeled cedar branches but any species can be used it you treat the branches. If in Louisiana or other damp climate, I would use cedar.

Thanks. I see it everywhere in Mexico for patios at hotels, restaurants....everywhere but I’ve never thought to ask them what they use.

If you are wanting to do something like this just go find bamboo that’s free

That would work. But aesthetically it becomes more asian rather than southwestern,
