Four Backyard Shade Options for the Summer
Creating shady areas in your backyard can be the perfect solution to enjoy spending more time on your patio, deck, or backyard without getting overheated or burnt from the sun.
At AES Hearth & Patio, we offer various stunning Sunair® shade options to help you create the perfect outdoor living space. But if you don’t know which shade option is best for your backyard, here are several to consider.
1. Sunscreens
Sunscreens or solar shade screens are a stylish option for anyone looking to add some shade and comfort to their patio or other covered outdoor space. These screens not only decrease the heat from the sun but also reduce glare and protect your furniture and curtains from fading with harsh sunlight.
They can come in many sizes, colors, and levels of sun protection, so you can easily customize the perfect fit for your needs.
2. Awnings
If you are looking for sun protection for a non-inclosed deck or patio space on the side of your home, you may want to consider retractable awnings. These are typically the ideal solution for decks and patios because they can provide exceptional sun protection but can be easily stored without needing to be dismantled or removed.
Retractable awnings can be conveniently mounted on the side of your home and operated manually (with a hand crank) or automatically with a motor for convenience.
3. Pergolas
A pergola covering or full retractable fabric roof pergola provides the ultimate comfort to your outdoor living space. You can use retractable pergola covers for small or large spaces, and they can be freestanding or mounted to a wall. This provides endless options and the ability to truly get the most out of your patio, deck, or backyard space, no matter the weather outside.
4. Umbrellas
Need alternatives for a smaller space? Elevate your outdoor lifestyle with our fashionable selection of patio umbrellas, commercial patio umbrellas, and Cantilever patio umbrellas by Cabana Coast. It will give you a beautiful outdoor view with a luxurious appeal.
Sit Back and Relax in Style
