Shade Select

Your outdoor relaxation zone can take a beating from nature, from intense Utah sunlight and humidity in the summer and the cold winds and rain of winter. So it might make sense to cover it up, but you don’t want it covered all the time. You might want to let in the gentle rays of sunshine in the fall but shut out the harsh heat of the summer sun—while still getting a cross breeze.

Our ShadeSelect adjustable patio covers give you the control you need:

• They protect your family space from sun and rain when you want.
• They allow a refreshing cross breeze, because they’re held up with pillars, similar to a pergola or gazebo.
• You can adjust the roof to let in more sunlight.

Using either a simple manual control or a motorized system, you can open the louvers, or angled strips, of the roof whenever you want to enjoy the sky more. In moments, you can close them again to shut out a sudden rain.

An adjustable patio cover lets you enjoy nature and your porch more, letting your outdoor space become an extension of your indoor space. A top-quality cover can even add value to your Utah home.

The open and close feature isn’t the only thing that makes Shade Select adjustable patio covers stand out. The versatility and durability throughout the seasons makes these especially ideal for Utah. These patio covers divert rainfall onto your lawn or garden area, leaving your patio furnishings protected. Shade Selects are geo-located to take into account the wind ratings and snow loads within your region.

Rainfall

​Shade Select patio covers are water tight — the greater the slope when installed, the better waterproofed the patio cover will be. Our sales & install teams will take this into account in the design & installation.

Wind rating

​These patio covers are built to withstand at least 90 mph and can be engineered to withstand up to 120 mph. The average wind rating for patio covers in the United States is 90 MPH, areas with 110+ MPH wind ratings are hurricane areas located around the coasts.

Snow load

Our generic engineering is designed to hold up to 30 pounds psf (per square foot) of snow. For example, if you have a 20×15 patio cover (300 square feet), our system is designed to carry up to 9,000 pounds on your cover. If the snowfall ratings in your region require a heavier per square foot allowance, Shade Selects can deliver. These patio covers have been installed by our manufacturer for over 25 years and have even seen snow in the Swiss Alps! Our team has built them in places such as Aspen, Colorado, and Angoon, Alaska! Once the snow has melted from your patio cover, open your Shade Select to get back to enjoying the pleasant warm winter sun.
