Exterior Patio Shades In Mission
Exterior Patio Shades & Patio Screens in Mission, KS
Exterior Patio Shades, also called patio screens, outdoor shades or solar screens, make the covered patio behind a Mission house usable on a July afternoon. A ranch on a deep lot faces its back porch toward the yard and the late sun, and our Solar Shield Blinds Exterior Patio Shades drop down outside to block the sun, the wind and the bugs.
Where It Fits In Mission
Where patio screens and outdoor shades fit in Mission
Exterior shades mount to a structure, like a porch roof, a covered patio or a pergola, and in Mission that structure is a roof or pergola added onto the back of a post-war house.
- Covered patios facing westThe late sun slides in under the roof of a west facing patio. One shade on that side makes the patio usable at dinner time.
- Older screened porchesA worn screened porch stops bugs and nothing else. A wind rated exterior shade adds protection from the sun, wind and rain.
- Pergolas on a deep lotA pergola out in a long Mission yard gives little shade on its own. Shades on its open sides give the yard a shaded room to sit in.
- Close yards in Westwood and FairwayOn a close lot the patio looks right at the neighbor's yard. A shade on that side gives privacy as well as shade.
Worth Knowing
Wind rated patio screens for a Mission patio
An exterior shade stops sun, wind, rain, snow, ice and bugs before they reach the patio, which no interior shade can do. The shades are rated for 75 mph wind thanks to our Self-Adjusting Tracks, which grip the fabric along both sides and give a little under each gust instead of letting go. A button lowers the shade, and sun and wind sensors can lower and raise it on their own while you're away.
The first choice is where to mount and how many sides to close. On a patio that faces west, a single shade along that side does most of the work, while a screened porch closed in on three sides turns into a room you'll sit in during April and October. One shade can cover an opening up to 30 feet wide and 20 feet tall. Darker screens give the clearest view of the yard, and lighter screens keep the space brighter, so your Design Specialist shows you both outside at your own patio.
Expect 8 to 10 weeks from order to install. Because a shade hangs from a header, a slab with no roof over it calls for a Retractable Awning instead. Your quote is itemized at the house and held for 180 days. A Crew Lead runs the job, and before leaving the Install Techs tidy up and walk you through the switches, remote and sensors.

Screen Colors
Exterior screen colors we bring to Mission
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 Mission homeowners
Yes. Its rating is 75 mph, and the Self-Adjusting Tracks keep both edges of the fabric captured so it stays flat in a gust. We still suggest raising the shades in a storm, and a wind sensor does that for you when you're away.
Not by themselves. An exterior patio shade needs a header to mount to, like a porch roof, a pergola or a covered patio. For a bare slab, a Retractable Awning creates the cover, and your Design Specialist will tell you which fits.
Yes. Held in the side tracks, the fabric keeps out bugs, wind and rain, and the brush guard along the top stops bugs from climbing into the roll.
No. Darker screens give the clearest view out, and lighter screens brighten the patio while softening the view a little. We bring the samples so you can compare them on your own patio.
Exterior shades take 8 to 10 weeks from order to install, against 4 to 6 for interior shades, because each one is built to the opening. Once they arrive, most patios are done in one day.
Yes. The hardware is powder coated aluminum with a manufacturer lifetime warranty. On top of that, our Carefree Guarantee gives you Five Year Service on defects, a Life Happens repair for one accident, and Lifetime Product coverage that the next owner keeps.
