Ways to Transform Your Outdoor Living Spaces with Shades & Screens
Does harsh sunlight bake your back porch in the middle of the day? Would you prefer to have more privacy when you are lounging on the patio or sunbathing by your pool?
Consider how patio shades and screens are the perfect solution for excessive sunlight, not enough privacy, and pesky summer bugs. Plus, they extend your home’s square footage beyond the four walls for not only more livability but also a hint of luxury.
Here are a few practical, and beautiful, ways to transform your patio, porch, and other outdoor living areas with shades and screens!

Enclose Your Porch or Patio
Imagine the lanai enclosures found in many Hawaii and Florida homes. These screens or glass windows allow their residents to enjoy the natural beauty around them as an extension of their homes.
Rather than being made of glass windows, your patio or porch can be enclosed with patio screens. The shades give you the option to adjust them as you please, from allowing more air-flow to minimizing sunlight. Unlike the lanai, patio shades also create more opportunity for privacy. You will be able to lounge and dress how you like, as if your porch is your own private resort!
Re-Imagine Your Home’s Beautiful Windows
Do you have long and tall windows in your home that allow lots of sunlight – and warmth – into your living space? If you don’t want to part with your fabulous natural lighting, or if interior blinds and shades simply would not work with your home’s aesthetic, exterior window shades are just what you need.
While your windows are not necessarily part of your outdoor living space, we thought it worth mentioning this unique shade option as it basically converts an already beautiful space into a pseudo-patio! With design and appeal in-mind, and motorized for easy raising-and-lowering, exterior shades are mounted on the outside of your home to keep bugs out if you open the windows, soften sunbeams, and even help you control your home’s internal temperature.
Air-Out & Secure Your Garage
In the heat of the summer, who wants to climb into their car when it’s been parked in the hot, stuffy garage? The days of leaving the garage door cracked-open a few inches are over! Adding a garage door screen, also known as a lifestyle screen, offers you so many benefits.
For one thing, it allows for more air flow into your garage, which equates to less moisture and less stuffy smells. It also increases your home’s security, so you can leave the doors open – and your things unattended – without worrying about passers-by. And, if you or your kids are going in-and-out of the garage to do yard work or play, you can easily open or close the motorized screen like you do your garage doors.
Add Privacy to Your Swimming Pool
Pools are entirely about sunbathing, floating, lounging, and relaxing, so your peace of mind – and desire to not be disturbed – while at the pool should be first priority. Whether you are hosting a party or simply wanting to block the neighbors’ view, motorized exterior screens provide an instant wall of privacy.
Exterior screens around your pool can provide more shade to your pool area as well as keep the bugs at bay. They also can be lowered or raised at the flick of a switch, and even set to a timer controlled by the sun!
