Exterior Patio Shades In Blue Springs
Exterior Patio Shades & Patio Screens in Blue Springs, MO
Exterior Patio Shades, also called patio screens or outdoor solar screens, turn a covered deck in Blue Springs into a room you can use after five o'clock. The west sun slides in under the roof and the mosquitoes find you near the lakes at Waterfield and Chapman Farms, and our Solar Shield Blinds Exterior Patio Shades close the space in at the push of a button.
Where It Fits In Blue Springs
Where patio screens and outdoor shades fit in Blue Springs
Covered decks on the two stories, screened porches, patios under a raised deck and pergolas on the newer lots all get more months of use with a shade that lives outside the glass.
- Covered decks facing westA covered deck on the back of a Stonecreek or Plaza Estates two story takes the low sun under the roof from late afternoon on. A shade on that side turns the glare into shade you can sit in.
- Decks near the waterHomes near the lakes at Waterfield and Chapman Farms get the evening mosquitoes along with the view. With the screen sealed in its side tracks, the bugs stay outside.
- Screened porchesA plain screen stops bugs and nothing else. Exterior shades in wind rated side tracks close a porch off against wind, rain and snow as well.
- Pergolas and garage openingsOur exterior shades mount to a pergola with a header, over a south or west window, or across a garage door to make the garage a screened space.
Worth Knowing
Outdoor solar screens built for Missouri wind and summer bugs
A covered deck is one of the best rooms in a Blue Springs house from April to October, until the sun drops low enough to come in under the roof or the mosquitoes come out at dusk. Exterior Patio Shades take care of both, because they stop the sun before it reaches the deck and seal the openings against bugs. Mounted to the header of a covered deck or porch, they come down when the glare arrives, keep the yard in view through the screen, and roll back up when you want the deck open.
Not all outdoor shades are built the same. Ours run in Self-Adjusting Tracks that flex up to 3/4 inch on each side under wind pressure and pull the fabric tight again when the gust passes, which is what earns the 75 mph wind rating. Our 95% solar screen fabric blocks 95% of wind and moisture, and one shade can cover an opening up to 30 feet wide and 20 feet tall. You run them from a remote, the app, or sun and wind sensors that lower and raise them for you.
An exterior shade needs a header to mount to, like a covered deck, a porch roof or a pergola, and a bare patio gets a Retractable Awning first. Plan on 8 to 10 weeks from order to install, so a spring consultation has the deck ready for July. We measure each opening on site and write the itemized quote before leaving, with the price held 180 days, and a Crew Lead runs your install and walks you through the controls. We also install patio screens in nearby Independence and Lee's Summit.

Screen Colors
Exterior screen colors we bring to Blue Springs
Your Design Specialist holds each one up against your siding, stone and trim so you see it in your own light before you decide.
Flat Black
The clearest view out of anything here. A dark screen absorbs light rather than scattering it, so the yard stays sharp.
Charcoal
A middle tone that reads as shadow from outside, with a clear view from inside.
Granite
A gray with visible texture in the weave. Holds up against stone and painted siding without going flat.
Tobacco
Warm mid brown. The usual pick where the house has cedar or a stained deck.
Espresso Texture
A woven texture rather than a flat color, which breaks up a very large span so it does not read as one sheet.
Shadow Texture
Blue gray with a textured weave. The one that suits a modern exterior with gray or black window frames.
Stone Texture
A pale textured neutral. Brighter underneath than the darks, and it hides dust between cleans.
Bone
Soft off white. Light stays bright under the shade, at the cost of some outward visibility.

Straight Answers
Exterior Patio Shades questions from Blue Springs homeowners
No. You see out through the screen, and the color decides how clear the view is. Darker screens like Flat Black, Black or Charcoal give the sharpest view, and lighter colors brighten the deck but soften what you see. Your Design Specialist holds each color up on your own deck so you can compare them in place.
Yes. Our Exterior Patio Shades carry a 75 mph wind rating, and the Self-Adjusting Tracks hold the fabric along both edges. We still recommend raising them in a storm, and a wind sensor on a motorized shade does that for you when nobody is home.
Yes, a header. They work under a covered deck, a porch roof or a pergola, and over windows and garage doors. For an uncovered patio, a Retractable Awning provides the cover first.
Yes. With the fabric sealed in the side tracks, mosquitoes, leaves and cottonwood stay outside, so you can sit out with the lights on after dark. Raise the shades in the morning and the deck is open again.
Plan on 8 to 10 weeks from order to install, a bit longer than the 4 to 6 for shades inside the house, since each frame is made to fit your opening. Our Install Techs complete most installs in one day, and a large or two level deck can take a second.
Yes. Every headbox, side track and bottom rail is powder coated aluminum, backed by a manufacturer lifetime warranty. On top of that, the Carefree Guarantee gives you five years of free service on defects, one Life Happens repair, and lifetime product coverage that a buyer inherits.
