I’ve lived in a home with out a patio cover or any shade trees… and can’t stand summers with out shade! I thought the only options was to build a permanent shade (expensive) or wait for the tiny trees to grow (patience is not on my better qualities).
What is the alternative? Everything I thought of seemed out of reach – budget wise or time wise.
Finally – I saw one of these Coolaroo Shade Sails
and thought they looked so good and provided just enough shade. I was worried that a sun shade sail like this would look to contemporary – but they seem to blend with any style home.
One of the most appealing factors is that the shade cloth is not opaque – you can actually see through the shade to enjoy any view it might other wise block.
This shade is number 1 on the Amazon Bestseller list which always get’s my attention. Also – the 5 star rating is a great sign that this is a quantity product and customers have been very happy with their CoolaRoo Shade.
I read in one of the reviews that Amazon was selling this shade for about 1/2 the price of the local hardware store. That’s something to think about.
CoolaRoo shades come in a variety of colors and shapes… the Turquoise blue sun shade is so pretty and bright… I love it.

Love the look of these, just a few garden decisions to make and I rekon we’ll need some of these. Got plans for my husband to build the kids a play zone, just the thing for it. Cool… or should I say Coolaroo. I’ll be back.
Thanks for the visit here, Phoebe
I look forward to the progress in your garden!
Hi,
Fantastic idea, I wonder if they are available in Northern Ireland, not that we would get a lot of use out of them in ‘Sunny Northern Ireland’, maybe they come in a rain proof version
Good Luck
Jim
Thanks Jim. I’ve often thought a waterproof version would be good. You could always put one or two up in a bright colour to make it feel sunny
and add some of your balloons!
I have 7 windows 57″ wide and 72″ long. Can I have shades made for them? If so, what would it cost? Thanks.
Hi Dick. You’ll need to contact the individual company or manufacturer if you have any queries. Thanks, Christine
