It may seem like an incidental question, but with global warming increasing and weather patterns constantly changing, what outdoor living spaces need more sun control? Put another way, how do you really want to enjoy your backyard, how often and during what times of the day?
With three types of shade solutions, Archadeck of Bradenton Sarasota will custom design and build for you the ones that are just right.
A Classic Open Pergola With the Traditional Look and Feel so Many Families Love
Enhancing outdoor beauty, with comfortable sun control, the classic tradition of pergolas is a Florida mainstay. With a custom designed pergola from Archadeck, you can control how much sun exposure you wish to enjoy.
Choose from closely installed slats, beams and louvers to emit stunning glints and glimmers of sunlight.
For broader sun exposure, in locations that face north, you may want more space between the louvers, as sun in the afternoon is subdued. In east facing locations, as the day progresses, you’ll find more shade after late morning.
During your design consultation, which is always complimentary, our professional experts will guide you as to what pergola structure will best suit your outdoor space.
Polycarbonate Pergola Roof Covers for a Balance of Sunlight and Shade
Some of our pergola clients consider polycarbonate overhead roof covers the best of both worlds. They are ideal for blocking direct sunlight while permitting daylight to illuminate the space. By doing so, potentially harmful ultraviolet exposure is greatly reduced, while still maintaining the open air outdoor living feeling.
In addition, the combination of its sturdy pergola frame, enhanced with overhead protection, creates a safe haven during afternoon rain showers. As such, your outdoor furniture will stay drier with fading minimalized season after season.
Polycarbonate pergola panels are available in bronze, clear and tinted. To minimize glare from the sun, we recommend bronze tinted polycarbonate panels. Delivering adequate shade and sun protection, while still maintaining an open-air feeling, this pergola construction method is perfect for spending more time outdoors.
Many of our Bradenton Sarasota homeowner clients find that they are well-suited for the design and placement of outdoor kitchens.
Covered Patios Offer Solid Protection From the Sun With Their Blanketed Roof Structures
If you want to enjoy time outdoors and be able to stay out there no matter what, a covered patio has your name on it.
Covered patios offer the highest amount of outdoor shade possible, as they are tied into your home’s architectural structure and framing. Covered patios are a terrific way to create outdoor living rooms while still allowing fresh air to comfort the front and sides.
Purposely designed to look like an integral part of your home’s architecture, covered patios undoubtedly deliver total overhead shade. With this comprehensive blocking of direct sunlight, outdoor living temperature during the day are more comfortable.
To complement the breezes and natural airflow, many clients have us augment the structure with overhead oscillating or stationary ceiling fans. This outdoor living combination solution increases functionality and usability all year long. As such, it is a perfect location for casual entertainment from electronic devices and TV screens. Did someone say Sunday al fresco NFL marathon viewing?
Here, too, should a rain event seem to come out of nowhere, no problem. You and your guests will remain dry and comfortable under our covered patio shield.
