Is the sun keeping your patio use limited? Or, want to have a more functional outdoor living space but don’t know where to start? Here are three practical ways to put your desert patio into good use all year-round and even years!
1. Take control with retractable awnings.
A patio cover is worth your New Year’s upgrade. If you are considering quick to install and more flexible option, a retractable awning is perfect for you! A retractable awning gets you the benefit of extending a shade when the desert sun is up shining or soak up the beautiful desert scene at dusk with more open feel by simply retracting it. Rain or shine, you can bring any activity outdoor without worrying being drenched or burned up. Plus, it is a stylish way to limit your neighbors view of your patio and let you be in control of your privacy. Our Somfy-powered motorized retractable awning will let you take full control anywhere with your smartphone!
2. Patio drop shades for a comfortable desert patio.
A patio drop shade is a cost-effective investment to beat the year-round Arizona heat. You’ll thank yourself later as the sunshine can get intense in the Valley during summer. Put up as much shade as early as now. Patio drop shades keep the sunlight out and minimize the heat that gets through your recreational or relaxation spot. It brings the comfort you need by keeping your patio cool while you can still get a good view outside even at 97% shade. Keep bug and critters off too with our Zipper Track!
