Awning and Outdoor Living
Outdoor living spaces are among the best ways to enjoy the weather in the crisp fall, warm spring, and hot summer. Exterior solar shades and awnings are a simple, attractive solution for keeping your outdoor space comfortable regardless of the forecast.
At The Blind Guy, we carry premium outdoor shades and awnings from top brands, including SunSetter®, Sunesta®, and Insolroll®, to enhance your lifestyle.
SunSetter® Awnings and Patio Shades for Outdoor Living
SunSetter® has served its customers for over 30 years, providing outdoor innovation and high-quality outdoor living products. They offer two standard awning lines: the Sunsetter and Platinum Series. The SunSetter Series features a five-year warranty and water-repellent fabric. At the same time, the Platinum Series has a ten-year warranty, premium Performance Acrylic and Sunbrella® Fabrics, and a semi-cassette housing option. Both lines are available with manual and motorized operation. If you want to have the benefits of an awning somewhere besides your patio, consider a freestanding style.
EasyScreens from SunSetter® allows you to enclose your outdoor space with screens to prevent wind, insects, and heat from impacting your patio time. Zipper track and cable-guided systems are available in various fabric styles, including insect, solar, and privacy. EasyShades uses vinyl-coated polyester fabric to block 85% of the sun, preventing heat gain and fading of your outdoor furniture. You can choose from three operating systems:
- Manual.
- Motorized with a remote.
- Solar-powered with a remote.

Benefits of Patio Shades and Awnings for Outdoor Living
Patio shades and awnings provide several advantages, such as enhancing your home’s appearance and value and shielding you from a light rain shower. They can significantly reduce your patio or deck’s temperature, so you can have an afternoon barbecue without feeling like you’re on the grill. Solar shades and awnings also protect you and your outdoor furniture from UV damage.
Pest-Free Outdoor Living
Balmy summer nights are ideal for outdoor get-togethers, but uninvited guests can wreck the mood. Keep mosquitoes, gnats, and other unwanted critters at bay with patio shades. Shades are an attractive solution to prevent insects from driving you inside.
Outdoor Living with Enhanced Privacy and Protection
A lack of privacy can derail outdoor living space. If your patio or deck faces neighbors, you may want extra privacy while having a cookout or enjoying your morning coffee. Solar shades aren’t opaque and won't provide complete privacy, but they’ll obscure the view of your outdoor space just enough to make you feel at ease. Your patio shades also protect you from rogue balls and birds looking for an easy meal.
