Achieving the perfect shade for your patio begins with defining its everyday use. A sunshade is crucial if you spend most of your day on your patio enjoying your outdoor ambience.
But how do you shade your patio? Here are four simple patio shade ideas for a fulfilling outdoor life.
Hang a Sun Shade Sail
Sun shade sails can perfectly fit smaller spaces where it could be challenging to build something more permanent, like a pergola, awning or patio cover. Installing a sunshade sail is simple, and you can choose from numerous shapes, sizes and colors.
Triangular patio shade sails are the most common, as they tend to be accommodating when there isn’t much room to work with. If you’re looking to maximize your shade coverage, consider hanging as many sails as can fit your space.
Use Tree Shades
Trees are an environmentally healthy way of adding shade to your space. You can construct a new patio next to an existing tree or plant fast-growing trees around your current patio to achieve the shade you want.
Go for an Oversized Umbrella
When strategically installed, an oversized umbrella can help solve your patio shade challenges. Many umbrellas also come with features like lighting for nighttime use. Another advantage of oversized umbrellas is that you can fold and reposition them if you don’t need shade or want it somewhere else.
Bring in a Shade Panel
A shade panel is a practical patio shade idea. Since panels are portable, you can easily move them to the patio area where you want them most and shift them with the sun’s position. Shade panels can also be fixed to your patio area, depending on whether you’ll not use them in other areas of your yard.
