The Columbia Shade Company

These are very high quality wooden outdoor porch shades that last many, many years. We have been using them for over 30 years.

These are the best shades. We live in the Florida Keys so our shades take a beating-hot afternoon sun, salt air, out of the blue rain storms. After 3 years they still look like new. These aren't our first shades. The shades before Columbia's looked the same, but got moldy, and the coating couldn't take the Florida Keys abuse. We had to trash them after a few years and buy new. I happened to come across Columbia Shade Company and paid close attention to their coatings and decided to give them a try. Mind you, buying the amount of shades for our west facing house is a major investment. When they arrived, I could tell that their finish was far superior to the other company's and after 3 years still happy.
