Working with Greydiantscape Architecture Inc., ShadeFX customized an 8’x12’ motorized retractable roof for the outdoor dining area. The homeowners chose Sunbrella Natural fabric because of its high UV protection rating. The color of the fabric also beautifully complements the white and grey structure.

This is an example of a large traditional screened-in back porch design in Orange County with a roof extension and decking.

ShadeFX assisted with the design of the homeowners’ custom pergola to integrate 12’x10’ and 12’x16’ retractable roofs. The dark Sunbrella Slate canopies, black powder-coated hardware, and dark pergolas work in tandem to protect this outdoor area from the sun’s harmful rays.

Pro-Land Landscape Construction Inc partnered with ShadeFX for this Brampton backyard makeover. Two 12’x12′ retractable roofs were specified and installed to the Pro-Land custom pergola. Rain Gutters and a dual-purpose hood were added to ensure a weather-tight solution during rainfall and protection from the snow during the winter.

This space is perfect for entertaining! When the owners originally moved in, this deck was not here. There were several steps down from the kitchen door, and the stone slabs were a toe-stubbing minefield. We added the deck and designed it perfectly for entertaining. Since we had several large pine trees removed from the property, we increased sun exposure creating a need for more shade. We had this awning custom made by PJ Canvas in Santa Rosa, CA. The awning tucks neatly under the roof of the house during the rainy months.

This is an angle few homeowners will see - lying on the roof between the curb extensions right after opening the skylight. I love the rain on the glass, but it's also worth noting the clean design of the skylight.

Available in different fabrics and colors. All products are custom made. We chose the top-rated "Gennius Awning" for our FlexRoof. The FlexRoof is a roller-roof system, from KE Durasol Awnings, one of the best rated awning companies. The FlexRoof is more unique than traditional awnings on the market, such as retractable awnings. The FlexRoof is built onto a pergola-type frame (or mounted onto a FlexRoom) which aesthetically enhances your outdoor space and adds function as an outdoor room. The FlexRoof provides overhead protection from outdoor elements with design and innovation. Our FlexRoof can be installed together with or separately from a FlexRoom. All FlexRoofs are custom designed and are available in a variety of frame options, fabrics, and colors. Lights and/or speaker installations are optional.

This picture is useful, as it shows not just the skylight, but the curbs it rests on. Curbs are the walls that surround skylight openings; they keep rain from slipping underneath a skylight. Rollamatic skylights are built of steel and glass, and will be around a long time, so it's important that your curbs are professionally installed.
