Patio sun shades and solar shades effectively block the sun from patio and outdoor living areas while still allowing the view. Today’s patio shades are designed to be architecturally pleasing, complementing your home’s exterior as well as providing protection from the sun’s heat and glare, and even golf balls and insects. 4 distinct models of Oasis® Patio Shades provide solutions for patios, pergolas and porches made of wood, brick, stone or stucco, and look good doing it.
Innovative Openings has been making patio shades in the Boulder and Denver area for over 4 decades. Award-winning Oasis® Patio Shades by Insolroll are now sold throughout North America, and still made right in your back yard.
With many front range decks and patios oriented toward western mountain views, providing a shade with both excellent view-through characteristics and protection from the fierce afternoon sun is important to our customers. Shades are designed with side track, cable and bungee hold-down options.

Patio Sun Shade Fabric Options
High tech solar fabrics provide multiple levels of protection without blocking the view
Solar screen fabrics have precisely controlled characteristics that provide sun control. The fabric openness and color determine each fabric's specific heat, glare and view-through characteristics.
All exterior solar fabrics are constructed from materials designed to hold up to the elements, so your shade stays beautiful for years to come.
Light colors can match the trim colors of your house, and provide better privacy
Dark colors provide the best glare control and view-through.
Translucent & Blackout fabrics for privacy
Translucent fabrics provide filtered light with no view-through
Blackout fabrics block light and view-through

What are the best ways to shade a patio?
Fully retractable Oasis patio shades provide protection from heat, glare, UV, and golf balls when you need it, but you can also roll them up to enjoy your open-air patio when you don't. With 4 distinct models to fit your particular patio, and fabrics for sun management and view-through, privacy, light-blocking, insects and protection from weather, we've got solutions!
Do patio shades block golf balls?
They sure do! Insolroll's Oasis 2800 and 2900 patio shades can protect your patio from errant golf balls. When a golf ball strikes the outside of the shade, the force of the impact is spread across fabric panel and the golf ball falls to the ground.
Can you see through patio sun shade fabric?
Yes! Different solar fabrics provide differing levels of view-through related to fabric weave (or openness) and color. Here's a link to our Oasis 2800 fabric options.
