Frequently Asked Friday!

One of the questions we get all the time is: “Are patio shades waterproof?”

The answer is no. Patio shades are not waterproof, but many of our fabrics offer different levels of water resistance depending on your needs.

Some options are designed to block light rain and moisture, while others provide increased protection from the elements. The best choice depends on your space, how exposed it is to weather, and what you’re looking to accomplish.

If keeping rain out is a top priority, our team can help you choose the right fabric and system for your patio.
