Basehor's mix of established homes and new residential construction makes exterior patio shades an ideal upgrade. Many Leavenworth County properties feature decks and patios facing west or south, absorbing intense afternoon heat. Our exterior shades solve this common problem, with weather-resistant mesh fabrics that maintain visibility while blocking harmful UV rays. Basehor's growing population means more families entertaining outdoors—patio shades make these spaces functional during summer months when Kansas temperatures soar. The wind sensors on motorized models are particularly valuable here, automatically retracting during Midwest wind gusts. Whether you're protecting a new composite deck or adding shade to an older pergola, our 20+ years serving Kansas homeowners means we understand your specific climate challenges and outdoor living needs.
