The Outdoor Sun Shade is not merely a decorative device. It is of practical as well aa esthetic value, often serving as a modified outdoor living-room.

One of the important services the sun shade performs is to establish a definite connection, both literally and figuratively, between two distinct features of your garden.

Frequently it leads off into the lawn and sometimes to the garage, or terminates at a pond or miniature garden. At other times it will serve as a bridge, with columns at either end, in this way spanning an otherwise open ravine and adding to the architectural effects of the home. In country homes it has a special place, because of the expanse that many of the country abodes possess, thereby making its necessity more keenly felt.

Outdoor sun shades possesses useful features in addition to its attraction as an ornament, and, wherever erected, increases the charm of the setting. It serves as a bower, a retreat and a nook.

Thus we see that the sun shade is in reality a useful ornament, and one that is finding more general favor as home-builders come to realize its need.  The variety of materials with which it is built and the effects of the different types of architectural variations are widespread.

Its very popularity has been the fundamental reason why there are to-day a larger number of the structural materials used in its manufacture.

I recently saw your roll up shades at Sam’s Club. I was wondering if they came in 7′ x 7′. Would it be possible to get some samples of colors that are available? Is it possible to cut them down if we bought a larger size? Thanks, Bob
