Why It's A Must Have You wear sunscreen to protect your skin outdoors, right? Protecting your outdoor living spaces from the sun is important, too. These motorized exterior solar shades are the perfect SPF for patios and people. Apply liberally to your windows’ exterior, on covered porches, decks and gazebos to stay cool and comfortable. Exterior window coverings add an extra layer of protection that can reduce heat from the sun before it hits the glass on your windows. This helps make your interior window treatments even more effective, so you save money on energy bills. Enjoy outdoor living longer. You can leave these heavy-duty outdoor sun shades up year round to protect your outdoor furniture from fading. You don’t have to worry about them rusting, either. They’re weather-resistant and come with a sturdy cable tie-down system to hold them steady when light wind blows. The protective valance keeps the rechargeable motor running on one charge for up to six months. You can operate up to five coverings with one remote from inside your home or out. They look sun-sational, too. The gorgeous PVC fabric comes in your choice of openness factors -- 5% or 8% -- that block heat from the sun and up to 92% of glaring UV rays, so you can read, use your phone, or watch T.V. without squinting. You’ll feel safer, too, knowing it has flame-retardant properties, and the fabric is approved by the Melanoma International Foundation because it promotes safe sun behavior.

I am so impressed with the heat control and love being able to block out the view from our neighbors and pool equipment. These were incredibly easy to install and the motorization is fun to show off to my friends. These are bound to get some compliments on our next patio party."- Gareth, Arizona "We have an almost full wall of lanai doors at the end of the great room and then there is a screened lanai. We needed something to allow light but give some privacy. Did not want to hang anything inside. This can easily be controlled from inside and does just what we wanted. It is hung on the outside of the triple door and works silently from inside. Love it! Easy to hang too which was a surprise."- Felten, Bradenton, FL See More Reviews
