Awnings for Decks
August 3, 2011
What are my options for sun shade on my deck?
To fully enjoy your new deck, you’re smart to consider options for shade on sunny days. Pergolas are an attractive accent; they add design interest to your yard, especially when grown over with floral vines, while providing welcome relief from the hot rays. Awnings are another popular alternative, and they’re making a big comeback, with many fabric varieties available in electric-motor and hand-crank models. Id neither of those appeals to you, a gazebo securely installed on the deck surface is a fine option, and one that offers the additional benefit of screening to provide freedom from mosquitos on cool evenings.
