Patio Shades & Sun Screens
Exterior shades for porches, patios and lanais: bungee tie-down patio shades we build ourselves in our Monroe, NC factory, and Insolroll cable-guided screens, manual or motorized. They cut the glare and the heat, keep the bugs out, give you some privacy, and roll up when you want the view back.
Shade and privacy for the porch, patio and lanai.

We do patio shades two ways, and they're different products, not the same shade at two prices. Bungee tie-down patio shades are the ones we build ourselves in our Monroe, NC workshop, using outdoor-rated screen fabric, cut and finished to fit your openings. They work with a metal chain and hook at the bottom with bungee tie-downs into your porch framework. Most of the patios we do every year are these. They're the honest answer for a back porch that needs shade and bug screening.
Insolroll cable-guided screens are the step up. The fabric is guided by side cables and works either with a deploy pole or a motor. They're for sun, privacy and everyday comfort on a covered porch. We walk every opening of your house and tell you what's right for it, and we're straight about what the budget supports.
Our Patio Shades
We don't sell one product and bend every porch to fit. We pick per opening based on sun, privacy, budget, and how often you'll use it.
The one we build ourselves. Custom-sized in the same Monroe, NC workshop as our shutters, using outdoor-rated screen fabric cut and finished to fit your exact porch openings. Works with a metal chain (rolls up and down like an oversize porch roller shade) and hooks at the bottom with bungee tie-downs into your porch framework. The most common patio shade we install.
