Start with the site
Boulder meets the Front Range foothills. The city documents both foothill and open-space settings, but the shade requirements of an individual home still depend on trees, roof overhangs and the direction of its outdoor space.
01
Stand at the seating position and identify which part of the view matters most. Compare screen fabric openness and color from that angle, rather than judging a small sample indoors. Describe the hour when glare is troublesome so filtering and coverage can be considered together.
02
A sunny yard does not guarantee a suitable location for a shade charging panel. The porch roof or trees may shade the place where it would be mounted, and winter angles can differ. If solar-recharged operation is being considered, review the proposed screen load, panel location and service access as one system.
Read before your consultation
A solar-recharged battery may suit some lightweight exterior screens. Learn what to check about panel exposure, shade load, fabrics and winter care.
