Drop Shades for Reno & Sparks Patios

When the roof gives you shade but the late-day sun still blasts across the patio, a drop shade can make the space much more comfortable. Forever Awnings can help homeowners add vertical shade where low-angle sun, glare and heat are the real problem.

Roof shade works best when the sun is high. A vertical shade helps when afternoon or evening sunlight comes in from the side.

Filtering direct side sun can improve comfort around seating, dining and outdoor cooking areas without fully enclosing the patio.

A retractable shade gives you protection when you need it and a more open patio when conditions are comfortable.

The useful question is not simply “Do I need a shade?” It is where does the uncomfortable sun enter the patio?

West- and southwest-facing exposures often behave very differently from north-facing patios. We look at the home orientation, patio-cover layout, openings, seating areas and the time of day you most want to use the space.

Tell us which side gets the harsh sun, when the patio becomes uncomfortable, and whether you already have a cover. We’ll help you narrow the practical options.
