Redwood Pergola with Custom Retractable Sun Shades and a Paver Patio

We built a redwood pergola over a paver patio for this customer. There was a lot of direct sunlight on this patio and the customer wanted more shade than the intermittent shade the pergola provides. So we installed custom retractable sun shades between the beams.They love how easy they are to use and blocking the direct sun really helps them enjoy the patio any time of day.

A pergola helps define your outdoor space and create additional living space in your home. Their open and airy feel keeps the space from feeling small and confined.

Pergolas do provide shade depending on the size of the beams and their spacing but a pergola can never create a fully shaded space. So in this case we added the retractable sun shades custom ordered to fit.  This way you can still see the stars at night but during the heat of the day you can create almost full shade.
