Best time to purchase shade solutions

April 25th, 2012 · Published to Shade Solutions

You have to time it perfectly if you have decided on a shade solution for your home or business. The common rule of thumb is to avoid the rush, which is summer, the time where awnings and canopies are very much in demand. However, during the off season, you also have to consider the construction of your shade solution – it is all well and good if you are just bolting an awning outside your windows. But if the construction is a car port or an outdoor patio, you might want to avoid winter or the rain.

So you have a small window of opportunity to avoid the rush and incompatible weather conditions for construction. While awnings or canopies are done with minimum structural requirements, these are completely dependent on the design and existing structures around the declared space needing a shade solution. For example, a large outdoor umbrella can be a simple purchase and the whole installation just plopping the umbrella over the designated space. But if you are thinking of an umbrella overhang over a pool, such as designed by Global Shade Australia, it will involve some digging for the main post and support before the umbrella can be open for business.

Awning or canopy installations can be as simple or as tricky as you want it to be. So before the installation, plan ahead for the right angle of shades facing the sun to the support points needed for the shade solution. And try to get an idea of how much the whole project will cost.
