Outdoor Shades FAQ

Common questions about outdoor shading solutions.

How do outdoor shades hold up in San Diego weather?

Our outdoor fabrics are specifically designed for exterior use. They're fade-resistant, mold-resistant, and can handle San Diego's sun, salt air, and occasional rain. Most come with 5-year fabric warranties.

Can I see through outdoor shades?

Yes! Solar screen fabrics come in different "openness factors"—from 1% (maximum privacy, minimal view) to 14% (maximum view, less privacy). During the day, you can see out but others can't easily see in. We'll help you choose the right balance.

How much do outdoor shades reduce temperature?

Outdoor shades can reduce temperatures in covered areas by 15-20°F or more, depending on the fabric and orientation. By blocking the sun before it hits your patio or windows, they're far more effective than indoor treatments for heat reduction.

What's the largest size you can install?

We can install exterior screens up to 20 feet wide and 16 feet tall in a single shade. For larger openings, we use multiple shades with minimal gaps between them. We'll assess your space and recommend the best configuration.
