Whether you’re hosting a summer barbecue, lounging with a book, or simply enjoying the outdoors, having ample shade in your backyard can completely transform your experience.
Having shade is also important for the health of your lawn, as well as the planet! Whatever your reason to install more shade in your backyard, you can’t go wrong.
Here are 5 creative and practical ways to create more shade in your backyard, so you can make the most of your outdoor space while still staying cool and protected from the sun’s rays:
Plant More Trees
Strategically planting trees can provide natural shade and also enhance the aesthetic appeal of your backyard. Opt for fast-growing species like maple or oak for quicker results or consider evergreens for year-round coverage.
Install a Pergola
Pergolas not only add architectural interest to your outdoor space, but they also offer partial shade with their open roof structure. For further coverage, consider growing climbing plants like vines or roses over the pergola to increase shade over time.
Set Up Umbrellas
For a quicker and easier method, consider setting up large umbrellas or parasols. These are versatile, easy-to-install and you can move them around as needed. They also come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors to complement your backyard decor.
Build a Shade Sail
Shade sails are stylish and modern shade options that can be installed over patios, decks, or seating areas. They provide excellent UV protection and come in different shapes and sizes to fit your space. They also come in a variety of colors and patterns for optimal customization.
A Retractable Awning
Retractable awnings can be extended to provide shade when needed and retracted during cooler times or when not in use, offering flexibility and control over your shade coverage.
By combining these ideas or selecting the ones that best suit your backyard layout and personal preferences, you can create a shaded oasis where you can relax, entertain, and enjoy the outdoors comfortably throughout the year.
