If you want to use your patio all year round, it’s important to have sun and shade solutions in place. This will allow you to enjoy your outdoor space no matter the weather or time of day. Here are some options for creating a patio with both sun and shade:
1. Patio Screens : Patio roller screens otherwise referred to as Solar screens, mesh blinds are the no 1 selling product in our outdoor blinds range. We are the agents for a range called Sunweave from Australia. These materials have been scientifically manufactured to handle high heat and harsh conditions like the African sun delivers. There are a variety of colors to choose from.
2. Retractable Awnings: Retractable awnings are a versatile option as they can be extended to provide shade when needed and retracted when not in use. They often come with adjustable angles, allowing you to control the amount of shade on your patio.
3. Shade Sails: Shade sails are a modern and stylish alternative to traditional awnings. They are made of durable and UV-resistant fabric and can be installed in various configurations to provide shade where you need it. They are available in different colors and shapes, allowing you to create a custom look for your patio.
4. Pergolas or Gazebos: Pergolas or gazebos provide both sun and shade solutions. You can install a roof or canopy on top of these structures to create shade, while the open sides allow for sunlight and a breeze. Additionally, you can add curtains or blinds to block out the sun when desired.
5. Sunscreens or Solar Screens: If you have large windows or glass doors leading to your patio, installing sunscreens or solar screens can help block out the sun’s rays. These screens are typically made of a special fabric that reduces heat and glare while maintaining visibility.
6. Sundream ®️ Roof System :Designed and keeping in mind that our clients prefer to have as much light as possible flowing into their rooms or lounges the Sundream ®️ patio roof system came to life. This revolutionary patented design framework is 100% locally manufactured.
Remember to consider the orientation of your patio and the path of the sun throughout the day when deciding on the placement of your sun and shade solutions. By incorporating these options, you can create a comfortable and functional patio space that can be enjoyed year-round.
