What Are Exterior Shades, Exactly?
Exterior patio shades are built to mount outside your home—on patios, pergolas, porches, sunrooms, or outdoor kitchens. They’re made with durable, weather-resistant fabrics that filter sunlight and heat while still letting you see through to the outdoors.
They’re ideal for:
- Covered patios and verandas
- Poolside cabanas
- Outdoor kitchens
- Garage gyms or workshops
- Screened-in porches and sunrooms
