Add shade to a deck or patio Homeowners eagerly await the arrival of the warm weather so they can cast off the remnants of cab- in fever and bask in the sunshine. However, as summer nears its dog days, the same sun homeowners once coveted can contribute to un- comfortable conditions in outdoor entertaining spaces. Meteorologists at WHAS11 in Kentucky took to their neighbor- hoods in July 2020 to test just how hot surfaces can get in the sun during peak daytime tempera- tures. Concrete sitting in the sun almost all day reached a tempera- ture of 134.7 F, while the same con- crete in the shade clocked in at just under 80 F. When air temperatures are around 90 F, unshaded concrete and asphalt can be 125 F and 140 F, respectively. While wood deck- ing may not be as hot as asphalt and concrete, it still can get steamy un- derfoot. Homeowners who want to be able to enjoy their outdoor spaces in an array of temperatures can think about investing in shade solutions. Sun-blocking ideas like awnings, shade trees and large umbrellas can help people enjoy their yards all day long. • Canopy: A patio canopy is typ- ically a freestanding unit that can be installed over a patio or a deck. Some people prefer to bolt it down so it will not be knocked over in windy conditions. The fabric on the canopy can be removed during the offseason, helping to improve its longevity. • Awning: Awnings may be sta- tionary or retractable. Many are in- stalled directly onto a home and can cast shade on specific areas of out- door entertaining spaces. • Shade sail: Similar to an aw- ning but a bit less structurally rig- id, shade sails are large pieces of triangular fabric installed over ar- eas of a patio, pool or landscape, ac- cording to The Family Handyman. Shade sails are light and airy and can be customized. • Trees: A natural way to in- crease shade in a yard is to plant more shade trees. If sun glare is an issue all year long, and it's not just the heat of the sun that is trouble- some, think about planting ever- green trees. Deciduous cousins will drop their leaves in fall and only be effective during the warm weather. • Patio umbrellas: Many um- brellas start at around $25. Umbrel- las can be paired with patio tables, while stationary cantilever umbrel- las sit out of the way on their own heavy-duty stands. A cantilever um- brella tends to provide more shade than patio table umbrellas. • Curtains: Homeowners can block sunlight outdoors the way they do inside, offers MSN. Hang curtains from the sides of canopies or between posts on a deck to pro- vide shade and cozy spaces. Shade is in high demand when the sun is hot. Options abound for making outdoor areas more com- fortable.
