How a Sun Shade Structures Enhance Your Backyard Oasis

A backyard is more than just an outdoor space; it’s an extension of your home and a sanctuary designated for relaxation, entertainment, and enjoyment. During the warmer seasons of the year, the backyard becomes your go-to locale for hosting family get-togethers, setting up yard games for kids, and hanging out with neighbors. Throughout the year, it is also where your pets step out to wander, stretch their legs, and relieve themselves. In essence, your backyard is a key part of making the at-home experience feel complete. However, without proper protection from the sun, outdoor time during hot summer days can become uncomfortable—and even hazardous. This is where sun shade structures come into play.

Sun shades offer overhead protection from the sun and relief during the year’s warmer months. In this article, we’ll discuss the many benefits found in installing a sun shade—and why PalmSHADE is the nation’s foremost contractor for these uniquely beneficial structures.

Protection from the Heat and UV Rays

One of the most significant advantages of sun shade structures is their ability to provide protection from the harmful effects of prolonged sun exposure. Having an overhead structure to retreat under during the summer offers relief from the sweltering heat when you’re hosting a barbecue, lounging by the pool, or simply reading a book outdoors. With the addition of comfortable seating and outdoor amenities, your shaded space becomes a cozy haven for relaxation and entertainment. PalmSHADE specializes in a broad variety of structural designs, including ones with built-in seating where cushions can be installed. (Check out our Master upgrade option on our Savitur design!)

Direct exposure to sunlight can cause outdoor furniture, cushions, and décor to fade and deteriorate over time. Sun shade structures act as a protective barrier, shielding your outdoor furnishings from the damaging effects of UV radiation. By investing in a shade solution, you prolong the lifespan of your patio furniture and maintain its aesthetic appeal for years to come.

Of course, UV rays present threats to our health, as well. Prolonged exposure to the sun can also increase the risk of skin cancer and related health issues. By installing a shade-providing fixture in your backyard, you forge a safe environment for yourself, your family, and your guests to enjoy outdoor activities without worrying about sunburn or overexposure. This doesn’t neglect the need for sunscreen or regular hydration, of course, but outdoor time in the summer becomes ten times more comfortable with these wonderful fixtures custom-fabricated by PalmSHADE.

Increased Property Value

Did you know that shade structures can also increase the value of your property? A well-designed shade solution adds aesthetic appeal to your outdoor space, making it more attractive to potential buyers. After all, a homeowner is more likely to remember—and consider buying—a house that already has backyard shading installed; it’s less hassle for them in the long run; now they don’t have to go to the expense of seeking a contractor, picking out a design, etc. They simply move in and can start enjoying a shaded afternoon in the backyard from Day One.
