Sunshades. The view without the scorch.
In warm weather months, eating and communing outside on the patio is a natural. But what happens when that yellow orb in the sky reaches the tipping point of feeling uncomfortable? All you need is the right set of custom sunshades. If your patio faces any direction besides north, they’re seriously worth considering. 
Here are 7 top reasons to sunshade your patio.
- They cut down on annoying and harmful glare.
- Harmful UV rays can be blocked up to 90%-95% with the right material choices.
- Heat from the direct sun can also be blocked by 90%-95%, offering an immediate 10-degree drop in temperature.
- Outdoor views look incredible, even with the added layer of protection.
- Wind gets blocked so that a gust doesn’t flip menus or tableware over.
- They offer a layer of rain protection, especially with woven PVC fabric.
- Buzz reduction, since sunshades can help keep insects at bay too.
