Let Barrie Tent & Awning Help Provide Shade for Your Deck or Patio
Enjoy the Outdoors without Being Exposed to the full power of the Sun
Serving residential, commercial and industrial clients across Central Ontario, Barrie Tent & Awning offers fixed shade options for your existing pergola or custom retractable products to attach to your home or business to accommodate the area you wish to add shade. Below are a number of shade options.
Fixed Shade Canopy for Existing Pergola
The easiest way to increase the amount of shade under an existing pergola is to add a fixed mesh fabric canopy.
Shade canopy covers are custom fabricated and can be installed either with a bellowed look with support rods or a flat installation and are available in a variety of mesh fabrics in a range of colours. There are also different mesh materials to choose from that can provide blockage from ultraviolet sun rays starting at 86% to over 90%.
Please note that Barrie Tent & Awning does not build the pergola structure itself, but will supply and can install shades for an existing structure. We can also provide consultation on what are the suggested requirements to be able to add a shade element to the an existing structure or before proceeding with building one.
Please also note that due to the lack of a significant pitch for most existing pergolas, a fixed mesh canopy is not designed to protect against rain or take any snow load, and therefore would need to be removed at the end of each summer season.
