Here in Northeast Fort Worth, outdoor living is a gift many of us enjoy on a daily basis – until July beckons. Whoa – it can get hot, steamy and sometimes downright nasty – and that’s why Archadeck of NE Fort Worth is here to help.
As outdoor thermometers rise to the 90s and above, we all need to have it made in the shade. This is why we specialize in beautiful, practical and creative shade solutions for your outdoor living leisure and enjoyment.
If you're trying to decide what is best for your home exterior outdoor living spaces, this is what you need to know.
Why Shade Is Necessary And Critical Here In NE Fort Worth
Unlike other parts of our country, having shade for your outdoor living spaces isn’t just nice to have. It’s a requirement for comfort and functionality.
Here are just a few of the issues Mother Nature has us dealing with:
• Summers that seem endless with ultraviolet sun rays that are often intense.
• Virtually constant sun for homes with backyards that point to the west.
• Pop-up rain showers and thunderstorms, sometimes unexpected.
• Fading and degradation of our outdoor furniture and colorful fabrics.
• Decks and patios that have no protective coverage overhead to lessen the impact of higher temperatures.
With a professionally designed and installed shade structure, Archadeck can give you the best of several worlds. Lower surface outdoor temperatures. Protection of your outdoor furniture and all-weather fabrics. And a larger capacity for uninterrupted outdoor leisure and enjoyment.
Solid Patio Covers And Roof Extensions Are Best
The best way to avoid uncomfortable heat gain from the Texas sun is a solid overhead cover. With a solid roof overhead, you can enjoy total shade, more temperate temperatures, and stay dry when it rains.
A covered patio will easily become that ideal outdoor living room you have long envisioned by blocking and deflecting sunlight. Immensely more functional and comfortable during our hottest months, covered patios are perfect for outdoor dining rooms, outdoor kitchens and outdoor family rooms.
Many of our clients add overhead ceiling fans for better and more fluid air circulation. Recessed lighting is also a great idea for entertaining that goes long into the night.
Roof Extensions Are Seamless, Emanating From Your Home’s Architecture
By extending your home’s roofline outward, our custom designed roof extensions look like they’ve always been there – an integral part of your original home.
As for benefits, shade reigns supreme, but there are many others, including:
• Total overhead protection from the weather, sunshine or rain.
• Total overhead continuous shade.
• Architectural design that beautifully integrates with that of your home.
• Heighten curb and backyard eye appeal rendering a more substantial home value, a key benefit for resale.
By having our expert craftspeople design and install a custom roof extension, you and your family can enjoy more generously sized areas for foolproof entertaining. Just take a look at your options.
Here Are The Three Best Bets For Shade Solutions
1. If you desire an aesthetic experience that looks like it totally belongs, go with a roof extension. It offers the most fluid and integrated look for diversified outdoor living. For the long term, it’s your wisest choice.
2. If your primary concern is avoiding the afternoon sun, a covered patio will do the trick. It will permit you to entertain, relax and enjoy the space in any weather.
3. If you want to let the sun shine in artfully and gently, a pergola sounds perfect for you. This is especially true if you want heat relief and beauty in extra measure. This is also true if you have been blessed with mature trees surrounding your landscape. Its more delicate appearance can easily complement any NE Fort Worth setting.
Frequent Asked Questions (FAQ’s) About Our Shade Solutions
Will a pergola give me enough shade?
It all depends on the location where you have it installed and its design. Pergolas with wider slats will give you more shade, or we can install adjustable louvers for better shade control.
What structure gets the highest marks for cooler comfort?
A seamless roof extension or a solid patio cover will provide the most reduction of sun impact. An additional benefit is protection from the rain.
Are ceiling fans a practical addition for all three shade solutions?
