3 Ways To Upgrade Your Backyard With Exterior Solutions

Pacific Northwest summers beckon you outside, but sun, bugs, and unpredictable weather can cut your outdoor time short. At Walls & Windows, our talented team turns patios, decks, and porches into usable spaces you'll enjoy spending time in, rather than letting them drive you indoors.

With our collection of exterior solutions, we help you create the ultimate outdoor area for you, your loved ones, and your guests.

1. Retractable Awnings Create Instant Shade

When it comes to summer sun, it feels great until it doesn’t anymore. Retractable awnings provide the shade you need with ease. Simply extend the awning when the afternoon sun makes your deck unbearable, and then retract it when you want full sunshine or to admire the stars after dark.

SummerSpace® Retractable Awnings reduce outdoor temperatures by up to 20°F when in the shade, even reducing heat gain inside your home when placed over a door leading inside or a large window. And with options for motorized operation and wind sensors that retract your awning when speeds get unsafe, operation and maintenance become seamless.

2. Porch Enclosure Systems Extend Outdoor Seasons

SummerSpace® Porch Enclosure Systems turn covered porches into three-season rooms that you can use during bug season, light spring showers, and cooler fall days. Their retractable panels enclose the porch when you need protection from the elements, then roll away when you want open-air flow.

If you don’t want a full porch enclosure system but still want added coverage, FlexScreen® is weather-resistant and scratch-proof, and can drop down from awnings or mount independently to block low-angle sun, wind, light rain, and insects.

3. Open-Air Cabanas Create Focal Points

SummerSpace® Open-Air Cabana Structures provide shade and visual interest wherever you place them in your yard. Freestanding cabanas create shaded seating areas, outdoor dining spaces, or poolside lounging spots.

With a retractable canopy, octagon cabanas blend gazebo aesthetic with awning functionality. And with customizable fabric choices, you can make your cabana a gorgeous backyard focal point that’s uniquely your own.

Cabanas are ideal for spaces where mounted awnings can’t reach, like side yards, detached entertaining areas, or gardens.
