The Accessory Every Patio & Pergola Needs 

Studies have shown that spending time outdoors provides a wealth of health benefits—lower blood pressure, less stress, better focus, and improved moods. And who doesn’t love spending a day in the shade or a night under the stars? We’re lucky to live in the Parkland, FL, area. So why not make the most of the beautiful weather? 

A few things can stand in the way of a blissful time outdoors. For one, most of us need to work during the day, and the bright glare of the sun makes it hard to see our laptop screen. Even when we can work from home, most of us still stay inside where there’s AC, and the lighting is better.

Another problem? Insects. Florida’s been named the ‘buggiest’ state in the nation, according to homeowner surveys and insecticide sales. If glare and insects prevent you from making the most of your patio, porch, pool house, or pergola, it may be time to consider motorized shades.

Outdoor motorized shades are a smart solution to keep insects and harsh sunlight from your outdoor living areas. Here’s how motorized shades work and the best brands you can trust for year-round performance.
