Custom awning Shade

More Shade. More Time Outside.

A custom awning turns a sunny deck or patio into a comfortable place to relax, gather, and enjoy the view. The Blind Guy helps you choose the right size, fabric, controls, and protection for your home—then installs it professionally.

Measured for your home, patio, and sun exposure.

Motorized Ease

SMARTER OUTDOOR COMFORT

More Shade. Less Heat. More Time Outside.

When the afternoon sun hits your patio, temperatures can climb quickly. A custom awning blocks direct sunlight before it reaches your outdoor seating areas, windows, and doors—helping create a cooler, more comfortable place to relax.

Extend it when you want shade, privacy, or relief from glare. Retract it when you are ready for open sky and mountain views. With manual, motorized, and smart-control options, adjusting your outdoor comfort can be as easy as pressing a button.

COOL IT DOWN

Create comfortable shade and help reduce heat buildup on your patio and inside nearby rooms.

ADD PRIVACY

Enjoy meals, conversations, and quiet moments with an added layer of coverage from neighbors and nearby spaces.

MAKE IT EASY

Choose manual, motorized, or smart controls so the perfect amount of shade is always within reach.

Your patio should feel like an extension of your home—not a space you avoid when the sun comes out.

What the Right Awning Can Change

A custom awning does more than cover your patio. It is selected around your home, the direction of the sun, the size of your space, and how you want to use it—creating shade that feels comfortable, convenient, and designed to belong.

COOL THE SPACE BEFORE HEAT BUILDS

Block direct sunlight before it reaches your patio, windows, and doors to help make nearby outdoor and indoor spaces feel more comfortable.

REDUCE GLARE AND UV EXPOSURE

Create softer, more enjoyable light while helping protect flooring, furniture, fabrics, and outdoor furnishings from sun exposure.

USE YOUR PATIO MORE OFTEN

Turn a space that becomes too hot or bright into a comfortable place for meals, entertaining, and everyday relaxation.

ADD PRIVACY WHEN YOU NEED IT

Optional drop screens can provide added coverage from neighbors while helping manage low-angle afternoon sun and glare.

KEEP YOUR VIEW OPEN

Retractable designs give you shade without permanently closing in your patio. Retract the awning when you want sunlight, open sky, and mountain views.

MAKE IT FEEL BUILT FOR YOUR HOME

Choose fabrics, frame finishes, valance styles, controls, and smart features that complement your home and make everyday use simple.

Not sure which awning style, size, or control option would work best? That is exactly what your consultation is for. We will evaluate your space, answer your questions, and help you explore the right options for your home.
