Everyone these days knows the value of exterior sun shades that help to keep the environment cool and reduce sunburn that can cause skin cancer. Even public play areas for kids are shaded with sails that help to keep our little ones safe while still allowing them to get some of the benefits of sunshine on their skin. Vitamin D is not made by the human body and the best source of it is always a natural one; in this case it comes through the action of sun on the skin. However, kids usually get plenty of sun during the times they cannot stay in the shade.
Having an exterior shade can also benefit your garden if the position of it also allows the shade to be cast onto the garden during the hot afternoon when the children would rather be inside where there is air conditioning. With that extra shade on the lawn or garden there will not be the same need to water it. Shade stops the ground drying out so much.
A sail can also throw shade on the wall, reducing the need for cooling inside the home. Shade from trees is also nice, but often they drop leaves and seeds and create a lot of work, not to mention their need for water. A shade cloth needs nothing like that to give plenty of shade. When you have a nice, shady area on the back lawn you will spend more time out there enjoying fresh air than you would otherwise.
Diy shade structures are not difficult to erect. Usually you only need to put in some steel posts or an attachment to the side of the house and the sail can be hoisted up and tightened to create a wide area of shade. They are great to have over one end of the pool so that your little ones can enjoy the water without the sunburn or the glare of the sun on it.
Exterior blinds are similar in that they protect you from the harsh sun, but they can also give you privacy, shelter from wind and blowing rain, and protect the floor of the veranda or deck from rotting. This allows you to make more use of your deck and to enjoy being out there more than if it was sunny all the time.
In addition, when the blinds are not needed they can be rolled up out of the way. This will allow you to enjoy warm winter sunshine and so a blind will enhance your lifestyle no matter what the season is.
