Customer has a cute patio area, but once the Alabama summer starts creeping in, the temperature and sun glare is too intense, making the space largely unusable. We installed two manual exterior shades. To help cut down on cost, the shades descend about 2/3 of the way from the top. This provides ample coverage while making it affordable. For the price of $4545, this family now has a cozy outdoor space, with ample air flow, that can be used all year round.
