Stay Cool: Shade Solutions for Decks and Patios
Thinking of ways to stay cool this summer? With the temperatures rising, investing in shade solutions can allow you to fully enjoy the summer months outdoors. Whether it’s pergolas, gazebos, or pavilions, Excel Fencing and Decking has got you covered. These structures not only provide relief from the sun but also enhance the aesthetic appeal and functionality of your outdoor space.
Pergolas
A pergola can create a charming, partially shaded area perfect for relaxation or dining. If you have a smaller backyard space, a pergola is the perfect choice for your outdoor area. With the open lattice design, it reduces the direct sunlight, and therefore lowers the temperature on the deck or patio. The lattice also allows open airflow which creates a refreshing environment. The unique thing about Pergolas is that you can add on climbing vines or plants to the structure, creating a beautiful natural canopy.
Gazebos
A gazebo offers a fully enclosed, elegant retreat ideal for hosting gatherings or enjoying a quiet afternoon. With a solid roof, it offers protection from harsh sun rays, rain, and wind. In addition, Gazebos can be customized with screens or curtains to add privacy, which allows you to fully enjoy your enclosed space. Gazebos can also be customized with amenities such as a ceiling fan, lighting, and a sound system to enhance your enjoyment. Beyond their practical benefits, gazebos also add aesthetic appeal to gardens and backyards, enhancing the overall landscape with their elegant and charming presence. Whether you already have a gazebo or are considering adding one, it can greatly enhance your outdoor living experience during the warm summer months.
Pavilion
Pavilions provide a larger, more open structure that can accommodate outdoor kitchens, lounge areas, or even entertainment setups. With a pavilion set up, there is more space to be enjoyed away from the direct sun. Unlike a pergola, which is supported by posts and beams, a pavilion is supported by columns or posts that are typically made of wood, metal, or vinyl. With a pavilion in place, you have more space to enjoy the outdoors while still being protected from the sun.
