Case Study: Turning a Patio into a Private, Year-Round Retreat in Rocklin, CA

Introduction

When homeowners in Rocklin, CA, set out to get more out of their backyard without a full remodel, they called us to bring shade, privacy, and comfort to their patio — all with the touch of a button. The answer? A custom-fit Apollo Motorized Patio Shade, built for privacy and made to last.

Project Overview

The goal was clear: block out intense afternoon sun, maintain airflow, and create a more usable outdoor space that didn’t sacrifice visibility or curb appeal. With west-facing exposure, the back patio was getting too hot to enjoy — and offered zero privacy from the nearby walking trail. Our team recommended a full-width Home Extension Power Shade, using our premium privacy mesh for full daytime seclusion without sacrificing breeze or the view out.

Installation Process

We measured the entire space to the exact inch and mounted the motorized shade system seamlessly into the patio structure. Thanks to our factory-trained installation crew, the work was quick, precise, and left no visible wiring or bulk. The shade is now controlled with a remote, retracts silently, and locks into place even in stronger winds.

Benefits Realized

• Complete Sun Control
  Keeps the space cooler in the summer without closing it off — no more baking in direct sunlight.

• Privacy Without Walls
  The Privacy Sun Shade blocks visibility from the outside, while still allowing full views from the inside.

• Breathable Comfort
  The mesh allows fresh air to circulate freely — no stuffy enclosure, just pure comfort.

• All-Season Living
  Whether it’s heat, wind, or a light rain, the area stays protected — essentially turning the patio into a functional outdoor room.

Conclusion

This project didn’t just solve a problem — it opened up an entire section of the home that was going unused. Now it’s a favorite spot for morning coffee, weekend dinners, and evening relaxation. The homeowners got the shade and privacy they needed — and the outdoor space they always wanted.
