         4 . The adaptable trellis system of  claim 1  wherein the at least one infill panel bay is configured to receive an infill panel assembly. 
     
     
         5 . The adaptable trellis system of  claim 4  wherein the infill panel assembly includes one or more of:
 a full size infill panel assembly; 
 a half size infill panel assembly; and 
 a quarter size infill panel assembly. 
 
     
     
         6 . The adaptable trellis system of  claim 4  wherein the infill panel assembly includes:
 a sunshade infill panel assembly.

         8 . The adaptable trellis system of  claim 6  wherein the sunshade infill panel assembly includes:
 one or more flange assemblies configured to releasably engage one or more of the spanning assemblies, the inboard assembly and the outboard assembly. 
 
     
     
         9 . The adaptable trellis system of  claim 4  wherein the infill panel assembly includes:
 a rain/snow infill panel assembly. 
 
     
     
         10 . The adaptable trellis system of  claim 9  wherein the rain/snow infill panel assembly includes:
 a deflection surface. 
 
     
     
         11 . The adaptable trellis system of  claim 9  wherein the rain/snow infill panel assembly includes:
 one or more flange assemblies configured to releasably engage one or more of the spanning assemblies, the inboard assembly and the outboard assembly. 
 
     
     
         12 . An adaptable trellis system, configured to be affixed to a structure, comprising:
 a plurality of spanning assemblies;   at least one inboard assembly;   at least one outboard assembly; and   at least one tie-back assembly, wherein the at least one tie-back assembly includes an adjustable clevis system configured to adjust the angle of the adaptable trellis system with respect to the structure;   wherein at least two of the spanning assemblies, a portion of the inboard assembly, and a portion of the outboard assembly form at least one infill panel bay.   
     
     
         13 . The adaptable trellis system of  claim 12  wherein the at least one infill panel bay is configured to receive an infill panel assembly. 
     
     
         14 . The adaptable trellis system of  claim 13  wherein the infill panel assembly includes one or more of:
 a full size infill panel assembly; 
 a half size infill panel assembly; and 
 a quarter size infill panel assembly. 
 
     
     
         15 . The adaptable trellis system of  claim 13  wherein the infill panel assembly includes:
 a sunshade infill panel assembly. 
 
     
     
         16 . The adaptable trellis system of  claim 15  wherein the sunshade infill panel assembly includes:
 a plurality of sun blocking elements. 
 
     
     
         17 . The adaptable trellis system of  claim 13  wherein the infill panel assembly includes:
 a rain/snow infill panel assembly. 
 
     
     
         18 . The adaptable trellis system of  claim 17  wherein the rain/snow infill panel assembly includes:
 a deflection surface. 
 
     
     
         19 . An adaptable trellis system, configured to be affixed to a structure, comprising:
 a plurality of spanning assemblies;   at least one inboard assembly;   at least one outboard assembly; and   at least one tie-back assembly, wherein the at least one tie-back assembly includes an adjustable clevis system configured to adjust the angle of the adaptable trellis system with respect to the structure;   wherein at least two of the spanning assemblies, a portion of the inboard assembly, and a portion of the outboard assembly form at least one infill panel bay;   wherein the at least one infill panel bay is configured to receive an infill panel assembly; and   wherein the infill panel assembly includes one or more of: a full size infill panel assembly; a half size infill panel assembly; and a quarter size infill panel assembly.
