CliKIT on TVHow to create shade on a terrace?
The sun is beating down and the terrace quickly becomes unusable? What a shame for a space that is usually so pleasant and only needs one thing to maintain its obvious appeal: shade! We give you some tips on how to create shade on a terrace and thus continue to enjoy it even when the temperature rises.
The pergola, the ideal solution for creating shade on your terrace
A DIY solution that is temporarily effective for gaining a few meters of shade, the parasol remains a must-have, but in the long run and for a permanent installation, it cannot compete with the pergola. A pergola structure is the ideal solution for creating shade on your terrace and ensuring optimal comfort in all weather conditions and temperatures.
The pergola has become increasingly widespread in recent years, and there is no doubt that CliKIT has played a role in this! With custom-made aluminum structures that can be assembled in kit form, the price is kept under control, making the purchase of a pergola a viable option for those who want to enhance their outdoor space and above all, create shade as soon as the sun appears.
The aluminum pergola is obviously the perfect solution for creating shade with robust materials and mechanisms far more reliable than those of a parasol or other shade installations. Above all, no action is required on summer days when a storm is looming and threatening time spent outdoors.
Unlike a parasol or a blind, owners do not need to worry about the safety or storage of the pergola once the weather turns bad: it is designed to withstand and adapt to all weather conditions.
The bioclimatic pergola creates shade for you
These modern structures appeal to all homeowners, and among them, many wonder which pergola to choose before actually taking the plunge. If the main objective is to enjoy your terrace in all seasons and also to protect yourself from the relentless rays of the sun by creating a shaded area, choosing a bioclimatic pergola then makes perfect sense for creating shade on your terrace or in your garden.
With its adjustable slats on its roof, the bioclimatic pergola is the perfect asset for your terrace or any place where you wish to install this new space. Thanks to a manual or motorized mechanism, the owner can choose to play with the sun's rays and select the level of shade under their structure. A perfect asset for hot summer days or simply for enjoying outdoor lunches whenever the weather becomes pleasant.
The bioclimatic pergola enjoys great appeal, and this shade management certainly plays into that. Above all, and like every type of structure offered by CliKIT — including the veranda range — the pergola becomes unique and perfectly tailored to each need with the addition of accessories for creating shade or fulfilling other personal preferences.
The shade cloth is the perfect accessory for creating shade
It may be that the adjustable slats on the roof of the bioclimatic pergola are not sufficient, or that you choose a more classic pergola. No problem, however, thanks to all the pergola accessories offered by CliKIT, which once again can be of great help when looking for shade!
Closing Cover for Pergola
Shade Sail for Pergola
Pergola Side Panel
On this subject, the choice is vast and will undoubtedly allow you to create shade and even play with it from your terrace or garden. The sun becomes an ally with pergola blinds and even more so with shade sails. Lower the blinds, install pergola side panels, turn the sails and switch them to a different side?
Whether permanently or with the desire to change the shaded area yourself, pergola accessories make your life easier and above all, allow you to remain in control of your outdoor space. The joy is obvious under a pergola, and although the sun is an asset for spending time in your garden or on your terrace, controlling the shade brings another dimension to a pergola.
The classic solution for creating shade on a budget: the parasol
There are essentials and even absolute references. Unsurprisingly, when looking to create shade on your terrace, the parasol is one of them. It has obvious advantages and, with high-quality products, it fulfills its role to perfection. Its only drawback lies in the size of the shade it creates and also in the need to store it or close it quickly in the event of a storm.
Its wind resistance can also be a negative point that generally leads homeowners to invest in other shade solutions, such as the pergola. Nevertheless, let us not discredit this timeless accessory that fits in cars for camping trips, trips to the beach, and everywhere else where blocking the sun may be necessary. The parasol is the classic go-to, and its advantages never change.
Think natural with plants
A wooden fence along the terrace, tall leafy trees in the garden or by the pool… Other classic options that provide shade, these solutions are also very aesthetically pleasing for enhancing your space. These ideas are numerous, and with the expertise of a landscape designer, you can very quickly obtain shade naturally, while making your living environment even more pleasant.
Unsurprisingly, creating shade with wooden fences or other materials and integrating plants with hedges and trees is entirely compatible with the presence of a pergola.
Style and ergonomics go hand in hand!
The blind for creating shade quickly
It is not necessarily the most aesthetically pleasing option, but it remains a great help for creating shade on a terrace. It does not fit everywhere, requires drilling into the wall of the house, and is only truly effective for a few hours a day.
Roof Blind for Pergola
Screen Blind for Pergola
You can nevertheless play with its opening to cover a larger or smaller area, but it remains particularly vulnerable as soon as the wind picks up. This is a factor that has gradually limited its installation in windy areas, often in favor of more modern and far more versatile pergolas.
