Patio Shade Solutions: What Works Best for Different Spaces?

The best patio shade solution depends on the sun, wind, size of the space and how permanent you want the installation to be. Pergolas create architectural definition, gazebos provide substantial coverage and canopies offer flexibility.

Map the sun first

Observe your patio in the morning and afternoon before choosing coverage. Shade placed in the wrong position may miss the hours when you need it most.
