The easiest way to shade the patio
Your wonderful garden with the wonderful outdoor furniture is probably one of your favorite places on earth. You use it to enjoy, relax and entertain your friends and family during the pleasant summer days and nights. Unfortunately, the problem with any farm is that if it is not properly shaded, you can't enjoy it at all!
That's probably why you're on this blog and I will make it worth your while. My wife and I have gone through what you do not think about ways to shadow the patio so that we can happily enjoy the beauty of our home and that is pretty much what we have come up with. Hope you like it!
- Natural shadow
DUH! Of course, natural shade is the answer to the problem, but the thing with growing trees is that it takes years. So in the meantime what you can do until the trees grow is to plan some small bushes, shrubs and small trees. You can also buy plastic trees and plant them so that they provide shade until the real grows. Or – the easiest way to go is to build a simple pergola above the outdoor furniture. Of course, you plant fast-growing vines over it and before you know it you will have a nice, natural cover to shade the patio.
- umbrellas
If for some reason you are not a fan of natural shades or if they simply are not able to grow properly in your climatic conditions, huge umbrellas are also a good option! One cool thing is that you can practically get them in any type of pattern, color or design and make your garden colorful and interesting!
- tent
Another cool option is the yard tending. They are elegant, usually made in white so that they dissipate light and can give your garden the charming and romantic vibe. They are not very expensive but are really practical! They can be customized so you can choose any color or design you want if you want to give your garden a certain tone.
- come along
Since you have the budget you do not want to look at huge investments. Still, that doesn't mean you can't create something wonderful and fun, but still practical! Here's an idea – thread a thread through the curtains. Then rig up to a pulley system and you get an unusual protection from the sun.
- Create with Canvas
You can always find your inner DIY guide and do great things with the materials you have in the house or spend a few bucks to buy. To create shade, drape lengths of fabric or canvas between the beams To get a more transparent look, space the fabric pieces and add light to illuminate the space at night.
- awnings
This is a slightly more expensive solution but still pretty cool and practical. You can get them in different designs and colors, which is also a big advantage. It is mostly made of vinyl or fabric. If you want them installed by a professional, they will cost a little more while installing yourself is a cheaper option.
- Light shade
You will probably laugh at this how easy it is – but it is fantastic! All you need is a square, rectangular or other shape that you want outdoor fabric and buckets with cement hidden poles. Make as many buckets of cement hidden posts as you want, depending on the size of the yard and the shape you want to get. Then attach the fabric to the posts. Voila! Great, right !?
- Shadow sails
This one is definitely our favorite! It is similar to other alternatives we have mentioned but it is in a way more practical and so incredibly practical! Plus, they are so easy to install that you wouldn't think! The great thing about shadow sails is that they reduce heat, provide shade and block about 95% of the sun's harmful rays.
Getting the protection from the sun in your garden can be a difficult business, but as you can see – it doesn't have to be. Now that you have heard our suggestions, what will be your alternative?
