We feel you. You love your outdoor living spaces. They bring you an inexplicable amount of joy, leisure, and peace. But during certain times of the day, the sun is a problem. A big problem.

Instead of rushing back into the house when you can no longer tolerate the heat from the sun’s rays, you’ve been thinking about getting some sort of shade structure to help you out when that intensity is just a little too much to handle.
So, remember the last time you stopped the garden center, or your local big box store to pick up a few items, and you noticed the seasonal displays toward the front of the store with outdoor living furniture underneath stretched canvas canopies?
This is NOT a permanent shade solution for the long haul!
Sure, it all looked very welcoming. Those displays seemed to say, “Come on in and take a load off. Summer is coming. Yippee!”
Granted they looked cool, inviting and interesting. But in the scheme of all things outdoor in Akron, are they a good investment?
Will they stand the test of time? Or better yet, will they last the season?
Flimsy canvas can fall victim to wind and sun exposure can degrade them after time.
What happens when Akron’s high winds kick in? You know what I’m talking about. The spring and summer seasonal winds that hail from the west and the west southwest. Do you really think that a piece of fabric is going to stand up to the rigors of those strong and frequent gusts?
Isn’t it time you invested in a permanent shade solution for your backyard?
And should you decide to leave that temporary shade set up outdoors during the fall and winter months, can you just imagine what it is going to look like the following spring? Not pretty, I’ll tell you.
A better option for most homeowners would be to protect those spaces with a permanent shade solution. Those outdoor shade kits and canopy and pole structures you see at those retail stores are small potatoes when it comes to value, longevity and performance.
