WHAT SHADE SOLUTIONS WORK BEST FOR A BACKYARD PERGOLA?
A pergola is a great way to relax outdoors and enjoy a bit of shade and some level of privacy. Unfortunately, the open rafters overhead only provide adequate (at best) protection against shade or precipitation.
If you need more shade, privacy, or rain protection than your current pergola offers, consider adding a pergola cover. At Canvas Craft, we provide exceptional shade solutions for pergolas customized to fit your specific needs and budgets. This blog focuses specifically on three pergola cover ideas for your home or business.
Canvas Craft's Excellent Pergola Shade Options.
Canvas Craft provides exceptional shade solutions for both residential and commercial use. With a variety of options, including fabric and metal, your family or customers will be covered with the best shade options on the market.
Let's check out the 3 of our top-notch pergola cover options to get you started today:
Shade Sails
A shade sail is a sheath of cloth used to provide shade to a larger area. Having a shade sail over your pergola allows for protection from UV rays, harsh sunlight, bird droppings, and rain. Canvas Craft's shade sails and tension structures are designed to enhance the curb appeal of your outdoor space while providing adequate shade solutions for your needs. Our shade sails option guarantees you the best cost, functionality, and outstanding flavor to spruce up your office or home.
How they are unique: Canvas Craft's Shade sails feature a unique design that will leave your neighborhood and guests marveling while turning your outdoor spaces into the talk of the town. From color to shade style, this product ultimately takes your outdoor experience to another level.
Examples of how they are used in a Pergola: A patio shade sail is usually used in areas like patios, decks, pool areas, playgrounds, and large play areas. Canvas Craft's custom shade sails and tension structures are specifically designed for both residential and commercial spaces. These shades can be used on your patio or yard or in an outdoor restaurant. Our commercial shade sails offer a great way to attract customers and provide a significant shade to potential clients.
Pros
Inexpensive: Depending on the design and complexity, shade sails are popular shade options and can be affordable for homeowners and businesses.
Highly customized: Our shade sails & tension structures can be customized to your specific outdoor space and needs.
Functional design: Our shade sails & tension structures provide a simple way to add some functional design to your remodeling project.

Exceptional cooling and ventilation: Our shade sails provide a welcome airflow on hot summer days. Some of our products are made from semi-permeable fabrics that maintain temperatures 10 degrees below outdoor temperature.
Motorized Solutions
Another great cover option for your pergola is a motorized pergola shade. A motorized pergola shade is a canopy equipped with remote-controlled motors that you can plug into any outlet for flexible installation. Some motorized solutions also allow you to leverage a Wi-Fi control solution to operate the motorized system from your smartphone. You can attach these shades on top of the pergola structure or on the underside for an even more integrated look and privacy.
At Canvas Craft, we are the official dealer of Cardinal Motorized Pergolas designed for both residential and commercial applications.
How they are unique: When professionally installed and matched with your building design and accessories, a motorized pergola ultimately transforms your patio, rooftop, or deck into an amazing outdoor space to enjoy all year round. Motorized pergola shades also adjust quickly to weather changes, thus offering an excellent solution for day-long enjoyment of your outdoor area no matter the changes in the weather.
Examples of how they would be used in a pergola: Motorized pergolas can be used in both residential and commercial settings such as restaurants, beer gardens, or resorts. In your home, this product can enhance your space functionality while providing a perfect outdoor shading solution. For domestic applications, these solutions come in 3 standard options with over 80 custom color options. On the other hand, the commercial motorized pergolas enable you to extend your working space and increase your seating capacity. It offers your employees, clients, or guests top-notch comfort and style experience.
Pros
Stability: Motorized pergolas are designed to withstand the harsh weather elements, including hurricanes, heavy snowfall, and intense summer heat.
Exceptional versatility: Motorized shades are designed to adjust quickly depending on the weather changes. This provides an excellent solution if you want year-round and day-long protection.
Flexibility: When compared to traditional lattice pergolas with solid coverings, having a motorized pergola enables you and your guests to enjoy on-demand protection from elements or shade whenever you need it.
Retractable awnings
A retractable awning is an adjustable cover extension that provides you with the comfort and shade of a roof. If you own a home or business that needs shade at certain times but not all times, you can opt for custom retractable shade solutions from Canvas Craft. Retractable awnings enable you to simply extend the fabric cover to get instant shade the moment you want it. In essence, these covers give you the power to control how the sun, rain, snow, or wind reaches you.
How they are unique: Retractable awnings from Canvas Craft provide exceptional shade solutions with various customizations, including motorized curtains and awnings, different shapes and sizes for any home or business.
Examples of how they would be used in a pergola: A retractable awning offers the ultimate versatility for your home or commercial setting. Whether you're looking for a shade over a patio in your home or outdoor office or business setting, Canvas Craft's retractable awning has you covered. When used outside, an awning provides shade from the damaging radiation of direct sunlight. When used inside, it prevents undesirable heat from entering your home through the windows.
Pros
Comfort: Retractable awnings make your outdoor environment more comfortable, by providing shade specifically when you want it.
Longevity: Retractable awnings have a longer lifespan than other types of shade solutions, especially when maintained appropriately.
Safety: The lack of any posts or poles propping these awnings makes them safe for pets and children.
Protection: Retractable awnings protect indoor and outdoor furnishings
