canopied

Sheltered from above

Canopied means covered or sheltered by a canopy—a roof-like covering or overhang.

A canopied bed has fabric draped from posts above it.

A canopied forest has trees whose branches interlock overhead: We walked through the canopied trail, sunlight filtering through the leaves.

The word suggests enclosure and shelter from above.
