Premium Retractable Patio Shades in Salt Lake City
Block the sun, not your view! Our retractable patio shades in Salt Lake City stop up to 97% of harmful UV rays while maintaining excellent visibility, letting you enjoy your outdoor space all year round. Whether rolled up or down, our sleek designs and wide variety of fabrics will enhance the look and comfort of your Salt Lake City patios, decks, and outdoor living areas.
How it works
Our retractable patio shades in Salt Lake City are custom-built to integrate seamlessly with your existing outdoor structures. We provide an in-person consultation at your home or business, where we’ll show you fabric and hardware samples, discuss product options, colors, and details, and ensure your new patio shades perfectly complement your Salt Lake City outdoor space.
Should you motorize?
A motor and remote for your Salt Lake City patio shade costs around $150, and you may also need an electrician to install an exterior outlet (~$400–$800). The benefit? You’ll use your shade more often with effortless push-button operation.
If your shade is only needed occasionally—like for gatherings or weekend entertaining—a chain pulley or manual crank works perfectly. They’re quick, reliable, and free—but not as convenient as motorized operation.
We use gold-standard Gaposa motors, which can be optionally integrated with the latest smart home technology. These motors are built to last well beyond their 5-year manufacturer’s limited warranty, ensuring long-term enjoyment of your Salt Lake City outdoor living space.

FAQ
What fabric density should I choose?
The large majority of people choose 95% light blocking density. It stops basically all heat, and has great outward visibility. 65-90% densities are available if you highly value visibility.
How does it hold up over time?
Our structural components (housing, roller, side rails…) are the industry standard for quality. We use thick gauge aluminum tracks and mounting brackets, weather resistant vinyl-coated polyester fabric, and durable epoxy metal coating. All of these elements mean your shade will look and perform like new for a very long time.
Motors, manual cranks, and chain pulleys are highly durable. We’ve never had to replace a motor or manual crank because of age. Plastic chain pulleys usually last 10+ years.
Fabrics can start to show age after about 10-15 years, but can be replaced for a fraction of price of the original retractable sun shade.
When we do have an issue, it is usually under warranty.

What widths can you cover?
Anything from 23′ span to 18′ drop can be covered by a single Sun Shade. Multiple shades can link together to cover larger spans.
What is an on-site consultation like?
We like to bring samples to show how your shade will operate and look like in your space. A representative will generally show you colors of fabrics, metals, and explain any applicable details. Once your representative gets measurements and you decide what you like, they are typically able to give you pricing on the spot.
Generally the whole process lasts around 40 minutes.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We do zero interest, four month financing, collateralized by available credit on a credit card. Ask us about it when we come for a bid.
