Shade Your Patio Without Closing It Off
Outdoor solar shades Boise homeowners ask about do one job very well: they cut the sun’s heat and glare while you still see straight through to the yard. The fabric is woven with tiny openings that block a measured percentage of light, so a covered deck stays bright and open instead of dark and boxed in.
Justin brings the ShadeSense samples to your home so you can hold the fabric and see how each openness level looks against your own light. No guessing from a tiny swatch online. Our showroom at 2615 W Main St in Boise is open too if you would rather come to us. Call ahead so we can be sure to be there.
What Outdoor Solar Shades Can Do for Your Patio
- Heat and glare control: the weave blocks a set amount of sun, so afternoon light stops cooking your patio furniture and your eyes.
- Keep the view: you still see out to the yard, the mountains, or the kids in the pool. The shade filters the sun, it does not wall you off.
- Tighter weave, more privacy: a lower openness fabric gives you more daytime privacy and more heat block, a higher openness keeps the view crisp. You pick the trade per space.
- Furniture and floor protection: the same UV that fades your couch fades outdoor cushions and decking. Solar shades knock that down.
- Best spots: covered patios, decks, three-season porches, and west or south-facing outdoor seating that gets hammered after lunch.
Boise summers run long and the afternoon sun off a west-facing patio is no joke. A deck that is unusable from 4pm on becomes the best seat in the house once the right solar shade is up. The wide-open Treasure Valley lots that give you those mountain views also give you nothing to hide behind, and a solar shade fixes the glare without taking the view away.
Common Questions About Outdoor Solar Shades
Will I Still Be Able to See Through the Shade?
Yes. Solar shades are designed to keep your view during the day. A tighter weave blocks more sun and gives more privacy, a more open weave keeps the view sharper. Justin shows you both at your home so you can compare.
Do Solar Shades Give Privacy at Night?
During the day you see out and people outside see very little in. At night, once your lights are on, that flips. If nighttime privacy matters for a space, Justin will tell you straight and may suggest a different treatment for that window.
Can I Get Them Motorized?
Many solar shades can be motorized so you lower them with a remote or a phone. Ask Justin about motorized options during your free in-home consultation.
How Long Do They Last?
These are ShadeSense exterior screens, so they carry ShadeSense’s own warranty rather than the Hunter Douglas one. Outdoor fabrics live in full sun and weather, and your consultation covers the coverage and what holds up best for your exposure.
Do You Do Awnings Too?
Yes. ShadeSense, who makes our exterior screens, also makes awnings. If what you want is shade over a deck or patio rather than a screen across an opening, ask about those at your consultation and Justin will bring the right options.
