Whether remodeling, building, or redesigning, it’s the floor plans, finishes, fixtures, and natural light that get the attention. Designing for shade, especially on patios and decks, often comes along as an afterthought. Fortunately, designing shade is the priority at Shoreline Awning & Patio.

With decades of experience dating back to 1982 and satisfied customers from Monterey to Ventura, Shoreline is the leading local source for custom shade solutions. The company custom designs shade for patios, courtyards, backyards, open spaces, and windows and doorways.

Why is shade so often overlooked?

Design conversations focus on natural light from skylights, big windows, and sliding glass doors leading to the patio, deck, or open spaces. Those conversations rarely address leisure time spent on the patio, deck, or anywhere outside.

Landscape design tends to focus on attractive, easy-to-grow and maintain plants, but overlooks adding shade structures as complementary, architectural additions.

So, when the remodel is done, and everything is put back where it belongs, that long-awaited rest in the yard turns into an uncomfortable encounter with the sun.
