Now is the time to start planning for your best summer experience! Outdoor patio shades can help you keep your cool and create an outdoor oasis, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor spaces any time of day. 

Let’s dive into all of your options for creating an oasis in your outdoor spaces this summer with different exterior shades.

Your Outdoor Patio Shade Checklist 

Colorado is known for extremes–extreme sports, extreme elevations, and extreme weather! So when it comes to creating your outdoor summer oasis, we know that you have a few things on your checklist that your exterior shades must meet. They need to stand up to the extreme amounts of UV rays we get at higher elevations, stand up to our harsh winters (overwinter well), stand the test of time, and keep your outdoor spaces cool and protected. 

The Benefits of Exterior Sun Shades

Exterior patio shades allow you to extend your living space into your outdoor spaces during the summer. Exterior sun shades provide instant relief from the elements by blocking harmful UV rays that would otherwise damage your skin and your patio furniture, as well as heat up your spaces and make them unbearable during the day. This can make even your west-facing outdoor spaces much more enjoyable! 

Patio shades can also enhance your privacy and peace while helping maintain your view. Exterior patio shades and retractable insect screens can be installed on patios, decks, pergolas, balconies, gazebos, and more, helping you create a summer oasis that withstands the Colorado heat!

The Benefits of Retractable Insect Screens

Retractable insect screens can protect you from mosquitoes and other annoying summertime pests. Because they are retractable, you can have them closed when you want to keep critters and bugs out, then retract them when you no longer want a screen. Just think of how much more enjoyable dusk will be in your outdoor spaces without pesky bugs! And you won’t have to spend money each year on different types of mosquito repellant that sometimes has an unpleasant smell or feel on the skin.
