A west-facing patio in Tucson can be unusable for hours at a time. Exterior drop shades stop the sun before it reaches you, cut the glare, and keep the breeze and the view - so the outdoor room you paid for actually gets used.
Exterior shade mesh intercepts sun on the outside, which is exactly where you want the heat stopped. The openness factor of the fabric decides the trade: tighter weaves block more glare and heat, more open weaves keep the view airy. We match the fabric to which way your patio faces.
Most patio shades we install are motorized - the panel drops at the push of a button and disappears into its housing when you want the open patio back. Cable or track guides keep the panel steady on breezy days instead of swinging like a sail.
