A Motorized Shade That Made A Bedford Patio Usable All Day Long

A homeowner in Bedford, NY had a back patio that sat empty through the hottest parts of the day. Direct sun and heat made it uncomfortable for most of the afternoon, so they had a PowerScreen motorized outdoor shade installed across the full patio opening — see our motorized patio screens page for full specs.

The housing was fitted to blend with the home's roofline — clean, low-profile, and out of the way when the shade is retracted. Operation is fully remote-controlled, so adjusting for sun angle or shade level takes one button press. The fabric was selected to cut glare and UV exposure without closing off the view into the yard.

The result is a patio that works morning through evening, not just on overcast days. The homeowner can now host and relax out there through the summer without rearranging around the sun.
