- Insect protection — full mesh barrier keeps mosquitoes and bugs completely out
- Privacy — semi-opaque or solid fabric blocks sightlines from neighbours
- Wind abatement — dense fabric reduces wind speed by up to 80% on exposed patios

Outdoor Solar Shades
Solar shades use technical-grade open-weave fabric (1%–10% openness) that blocks heat and UV while preserving your outdoor view. They reduce solar heat gain by up to 80%, protecting outdoor furniture from UV fading and reducing cooling costs in south and west-facing rooms by 15–25%.
For shades for outside patio use, choose a 3–5% openness: enough to cut glare and heat while keeping the view through. For maximum privacy on a street-facing patio, choose 1%. For a covered porch where light filtering is the goal, 10% gives a bright, airy feel with strong UV protection.
Outdoor Roller Shades
Our outdoor roller shades use a single panel of UV-stabilised fabric that rolls cleanly away when not in use. Available in full blackout (ideal for covered outdoor cinemas and covered porches), light-filtering and open-weave solar fabrics. Choose manual spring operation or motorised for one-touch control from your phone, remote or voice.
Exterior Shades for Windows
Exterior shades mounted outside your windows intercept solar heat before it enters the glass — significantly more effective than interior blinds which deal with heat after it’s already inside. Exterior shades can reduce window heat gain by up to 77% and are one of the most energy-efficient window treatment options for south and west-facing rooms.

Outdoor Shades FAQ
Outdoor shades are exterior window and patio coverings made from UV-stabilised, weatherproof fabrics. They block glare, reduce solar heat gain, add privacy and protect outdoor living spaces. Available as roller shades, solar shades and motorized retractable screens in any custom size.
For an open patio exposed to afternoon sun, a 3–5% openness solar shade gives the best combination of glare reduction and preserved view. For a covered porch or enclosed area, a roller shade in a light-filtering or blackout fabric gives more light control. For full bug and weather protection, our Shade Sense Outdoor motorized screens are the most comprehensive solution.
Solar shades refer specifically to open-weave fabrics with a defined openness factor (1–10%) that block UV while maintaining a view. Sun shades is a broader term covering both solar weaves and more solid light-blocking fabrics. Both block UV rays and reduce heat gain.
Shade Sense Outdoor motorized screens create a full-height barrier across an opening — blocking insects, wind and providing privacy or solar control. They're different from shades, which drop from the top of a window or defined opening. Screens enclose spaces; shades filter light. Screens are available 3–30ft wide, up to 22ft tall, with a lifetime warranty.
