Start with the site

Westminster is in the northwest metro between Denver and Boulder. A useful shade plan is based on the direction your seating faces, not on a general description of the region.

01

Record more than one hour of sun

Take two or three photos from the same spot during the afternoon. Note when sun passes below a porch roof or reaches the seats from the side. That sequence helps distinguish an overhead coverage problem from a low-angle glare problem and makes it easier to compare awnings with exterior screens.

02

Preserve useful winter light

If keeping an open-sky view or admitting sun in cooler weather matters, discuss the retracted position of an awning and the open position of a louvered roof. Neither choice should be made solely from a summer photograph. Confirm storage and operating instructions for the selected model, including what to do when weather changes while you are away.
