Patio Shade Solutions
There are many shade solutions to assist us in enjoying our backyards, patios and decks. The most common reason for shade is to protect our skin from harmful UV rays. It seems when we are ready to enjoy our time outdoors having a tea, relaxing or dining the sun is beating down on us.
Patio Umbrellas
There are a variety of shade solutions made possible. Traditional table patio umbrella’s are the first on our minds. Traditionally, 7.5′ and 9′ umbrella’s were the standard size. Now these parasol umbrella’s are over-sized and span to 10′ and 11′ in diameter. The newest design include a rectangular umbrella, 8′x11′ which sits nicely on rectangular patio tables.
Cantilever umbrella’s, often called parasols, are offset from your patio table and offer much larger coverage area. Cantilever umbrellas can be used over patio furniture sets, chaise lounge chairs and spa’s. The outdoor furniture industry standard was about a 10′ round or square with limited range. Today, we have a designed a cantilever umbrella sizes which is up to 13′.
Cantilever umbrella’s typically moved vertically and you would position the umbrella behind the sun. Our newest designs have a rotating pivot base which allows you to move your umbrella 360 degrees and covering space. As the sun moves positions so can our umbrellas.
Our latest umbrella tilt technology makes tilted your umbrella both vertically and horizontally. You can virtually set your umbrella at various degrees beating the sun.
Patio Awnings
Awnings have always been a shade solution for the outdoors. The advantage of today’s patio awnings is that you can customize your size required. Awning accessories include adding an awning motor, side panels for added sun protection and aluminum rust free protective awning covers.
Note: Only Insideout Patio Woodbridge carries Patio Awnings.
Our umbrella’s and patio umbrella’s are offered in Sunbrella outdoor fabrics. Sunbrella resists the fading process, or mildew resistant and easy to clean.

Patio Gazebos
Gazebo’s are popular because they offer a fair amount of sun protection. Side panels are highly recommended because the sun will not always be sitting overhead and curtains can be opened and closed as required. Be creative with your outdoor patio gazebo and add some outdoor lighting or a fan. There are always a selection of sizes available including 10′x10′, 10′x14, 12′x12′ to list a few.
