Outdoor and Patio Shades

Outdoor and patio shades made of weather-tolerant mesh and fabric for porches, pergolas, decks and screened rooms, cutting sun, glare and heat so outdoor spaces are comfortable more of the year.

A porch or patio is much nicer when the afternoon sun does not bake it. Outdoor shades cut glare and heat and add privacy, so you can use the space more often. Homeowners in Nashville add them to porches, pergolas, decks and screened rooms.

We explain outdoor fabrics and meshes, which are made to tolerate sun and weather, and show different openness levels. We discuss manual and motorized controls, wind sensors and housings that protect the shade when it is rolled up. We measure carefully and mount to solid structure, because outdoor shades see wind and use. We also explain care and what to expect from sun, rain and seasons. Outdoor shades live in a tougher world than indoor ones. Wind, rain, pollen and sun all take a toll, so we choose fabrics and hardware that suit exposure and show you how to keep them clean. We also talk about how and when to retract a shade ahead of storms, and what a wind sensor can and cannot do.

Choose the fabric

Outdoor meshes and fabrics tolerate sun and weather, and openness changes how much sun and view you get.

Plan the structure

Shades must mount to solid beams or frames, and we check what you have before ordering.

Add controls

Cranks and motors are available, and wind sensors can retract motorized shades in gusts.

Protect and maintain

Housings and cleaning routines help outdoor shades last in sun and weather.
