Over the past few years, we’ve seen a rise in our family of customers requesting retractable pergolas in their backyards. They love their pergolas for obvious reasons like additional space, but their enjoyment goes much further than that!

If you’ve been wondering what the benefits of having an outdoor retractable pergola over a permanent structure in your Denver, Highlands Ranch, and Littleton backyard are, look no further:


1. Increased duration of use

Unlike a permanent outdoor structure, a retractable pergola allows you to control the amount of sunlight, shade, and airflow at any time of the day. With a fixed structure, you’re still at the mercy of the weather to determine how long you can enjoy your outdoor space. The sun setting at just the right angle to make it hard to bear? With a retractable awning, a shade can drop and an instant retating your view! The breeze is just perfect? Up goes the shade so you can enjoy the cool.


2.   Superior outdoor protection

With an adjustable roof, your furniture, meal, or game of cards won’t get ruined with an afternoon rain storm or scorching sun.  Unlike an outdoor permanent structure, a retractable patio pergola keeps everything (including you!) dry or protected from the sun at any given moment.


3.   Enhanced views and ambiance

A permanent structure can often obstruct your gorgeous Colorado views, while a retractable pergola can fully retract inviting in spacious panoramic views of the outdoors.

For our Family of Customers in these areas, here are your top 3 tips for keeping your exterior solar screens in tip top shape this autumn: 1. Gently Clean Your Shades Before the autumn storms arrive, taking the time to inspect your solar screens for leaves, debris, and dirt can help prevent future damage that these unwanted items could potentially cause. 2. Retract Your Shades When Not Using Them The easiest and most impactful way to protect your exterior solar shades is to keep them retracted when not using them. Even our highest end shades can be damaged in Colorado storms. High winds, hail, and heavy rain fall can all damage your shades if they are left out during these times. 3. Professional Inspection If you have any questions or concerns about your exterior solar window shades or outdoor retractable patio screens, our Family of Customers can always call us. For only $99 our Installation Specialists can assess your shades and make any minor adjustments needed before the winter weather rolls in. Maintaining your exterior solar shades is essential for keeping your outdoor space comfortable and functional. Here at SunSaver, we understand the importance of personalized customer Service and are always available for our Family of Customers. We are not just a business, we are a family.
