4 On-Trend Shade Ideas & Uses for Shade Canopies

1. Shade Your deck With A Low-Profile Silhouette System

With its minimalist design and easy setup that can be attached to a deck railing, a Silhouette shade system can be a discreet addition to your deck or balcony. Without sacrificing the space on your deck, you’ll have a simple shade solution that blends seamlessly into your deck’s design. The Silhouette can also be anchored to a stamped patio or other stable ground.

2. Enjoy Your Pool Without The Sunburn Under A Craftsman

You can skip the sunscreen after installing a Craftsman structure covered with retractable canopy shades over your pool. Its rugged aluminum structure comes in black, bronze, white, and many other colors and is finished with decorative elements such as a flat caps or recessed posts. A Craftsman not only provides your pool with customizable shade using independent retractable panels but also an aesthetically pleasing embellishment to your pool layout.

3. Decorate Your Balcony With A Sophisticated Awning

On those unbearably sunny and hot days, a motorized awning above your balcony allows you to sit out and enjoy a glass of wine or lunch on your balcony without sun rays beating down on you. With motorized lateral arm awnings, you get to choose from a range of colors and decorative edges that elevate your balcony’s aesthetic. When you don’t wish to have shade, simply retract your awning.

4. Shelter Your Outdoor Dining or Bar Space From The Elements With a Retractable Overtop

An enjoyable, worry-free outdoor dining and drinks experience shouldn’t be limited to those days with perfect weather. Whether it’s too hot in the sun or raining on your parade, you can still sit out in your outdoor dining space under a retractable overtop. Utilizing weather-protective, durable fabric for the retractable canopy means your dinner party will be uninterrupted from the elements, rain or shine. Or add a louvered roof structure to maximum function and flexibility.
