BENEFITS OF RETRACTABLE PERGOLAS
LIGHT AND SHADE CONTROL
One thing that a retractable pergola has over a fixed awning is customization. Adjust the pergola depending on the light, weather conditions, and other factors. You’ll have the right balance of light and shade at every point of the day – no more squinting, no more discomfort.
WEATHER PROTECTION
Often, we choose to go inside because of wind, rain, and even blistering sunshine. With a retractable shade for pergolas, there’s no reason why you can’t read your favorite book in conditions that previously would have rendered it impossible.
EXTEND YOUR LIVING SPACE
The best retractable pergolas also extend the available living space, whether you like to watch the kids play, entertain friends and family, or just sit and watch the world go by after a long day of work. You have a middle ground between indoors and outdoors.
INCREASE PROPERTY VALUE
Whether you have an eye on a potential future sale or not, a retractable pergola shade can add value to your property. More prospective buyers are looking for features of this nature, so adding one will make your home more desirable.
Customizing Your Pergola
At Smart Shade Structures we pride ourselves in our custom designs, the process is always the same but the customizations are endless.
Each project we design is tailored to that space.

With over 20 years of experience our knowledgeable team is here to design the outdoor space of your dreams with functionality in mind and quality craftsmanship.
