Harness the power of natural light, cool your outdoor space to reduce cooling costs, and help it last longer with a weather-resistant patio shade.

    Versatility

    Our patio shades and patio screens are great at keeping homes cool and save on energy costs, but they are capable of so much more. They can also cover your patio or deck to open up areas of your home that are too hot or too bright to use. Take in the Austin Texas breeze during the heat of the day with outdoor shades that let in the perfect amount of light along with a pleasant wind. Don’t stay stuck inside – get your outdoor areas covered and start relaxing outside with the help of your Shading Texas sun shade.

    These sun shades are also great for keeping businesses cool. Raise productivity and lower overhead costs by putting in some patio sun shades at your company. Artificial lighting in a typical building comprises up to 40 percent of the energy used. Turning those lights off and letting in the natural light reduces strain on the eyes and eliminates glare from reflective surfaces. Reduced bodily stress combined with more comfortable temperatures means more energy for your employees and less energy on your bills.

    Patio Shade FAQs

    How much does a motorized patio shade cost?

    This is our most common question, but the answer depends on many variables (how big is it?, what type of shade mesh?, is the installation straight forward?, etc.)

    You can expect a smaller shade to start at $1,500 and a very large shade can be upwards of $6,000.

    The great news is we give free in-home estimates, so we can dial in the exact cost! Contact us today for your free estimate.

    What is the patio shade mesh made of that Shading Texas uses?

    Shading Texas only uses the upgraded fiberglass and vinyl screen mesh in our exterior solar shades. Polyester will stretch too much and after some time will look baggy, whereas fiberglass is more impact-resistant than steel and will not stretch like polyester does.

    Are the shades water resistant?

    Yes, they can be. The tighter the weave of the patio shade mesh the more rain will be kept out of your patio.

    How long will my patio shade installation take?

    Normally we will have your entire motorized patio screen project completed on the same day.

    Will the shades help regulate temperature in my outdoor living space all year long?

    For sure! This is one of the main benefits of motorized shades for your patio. You will be amazed at the difference. Our clients enjoy their patios all year by having some fans to circulate air during the warm months and then use patio heaters to stay warm during
    the colder months.

    The mosquitoes and flies on my patio are driving me crazy, can these patio shades keep them out?

    Absolutely! At least half of our clients get the bug shade mesh, so they can enjoy the patio breeze without the bugs. There is nothing like enjoying a meal on your patio without shooing away flies.

    How do I operate my motorized patio shades?

    It’s as easy as pushing a button on the remote control!

    Can I operate the patio shades with my phone and with voice commands?

    Yes and Yes! All our patio shades use Somfy Smart RTS motors. They can work with your phone, with voice commands and even be integrated into your current home automation system.

    How long can I expect my motorized shades to last?

    Because our patio shades are of such high quality, you will only need to purchase them one time. The shade frames all come with a lifetime warranty. If a part or piece breaks over time we can just replace that one part and not the entire shading system.

    How do I go about getting a free estimate from Shading Texas?

    Feel free to give us a call Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, or fill out our contact form!
