In this Google/Amazon age there is no shortage of choices for just about anything you want. Google ‘outdoor shade solutions in San Diego,CA’ and you get 3,280,000 results. Add a few filters and you might whittle your way down to maybe 100,000. As authors Chris Frank and Paul Magnone explain in their book ‘Drinking from the Firehose: Making Smarter Decisions Without Drowning in Information’ it is easy to get overwhelmed by the data and information. Often it can lead to ‘paralysis by analysis’. The solution, they suggest, is to ask smarter questions.
The Smart Questions
When considering options for creating a cool, intimate, outdoor living space a few questions worth pondering might be; what shade product is wind-resistant? What shade solution is modular allowing me to cover unusual spaces or a portion of an area when desired? What product helps create a seamless flow from indoor to outdoor living? Can my patio or deck cover be opened up to allow natural light on cloudy, overcast days or reveal a star filled night? Will the structure enable me to mount drop screens to shield from late afternoon or early morning, low trajectory sun? Does my shade solution require much/any maintenance? Is it easy to clean? Is the shade structure durable and will it add value to my home? Does it compliment my landscape? Will it accommodate large or small gatherings?
When you filter your query with all these questions only one solution meets all the criteria…a retractable shade canopy system. If you are so inclined, you can make your own slide on wire system. Sailrite offers a great tutorial (google it). Or, you can choose from two high quality, attractive, proven products: ShadeTree Canopies or Infinity Canopy. I offer both and have installed both. Each has unique features, benefits and options that can be customized to meet your specific needs and taste.
