This guide will show the top types of shade, what to think about before you buy, & how to find the best fit for your look & space—get it now at Feidao Furniture.
Why Shade Helps
Shade is key. It blocks bad UV, cuts down on glare, & keeps yard seats from fading. Plus, it makes a nice spot outside—so you can hang out on your porch, deck, or yard more & like it more.
You might want a sleek look or a warm vibe, but the right pick is key for your yard spot.
Top Shade Picks (& Who Should Get Them)
Here’s a list of the best shade types—and how to know which one fits your spot & life:
1. Umbrellas
Best for: Small decks, easy to move, and save money.
Umbrellas are easy to move & come in all sizes. Side arm types let you use all the space under it. Look for a strong type that won’t fade or fall over in the wind.
Feidao Pick: Our Move & Spin Umbrella with UV block.
2. Pergolas
Best for: Big spots, design fans, set for long.
A pergola adds style & some shade. Some let light in, while others give more cover. Some even pull back or have lights.
Feidao Pick: The Feidao Metal Pergola—sleek, tough, & simple to set up.
3. Gazebos
Best for: All shade, fun spots, keeps for a long.
Gazebos are covered fully & often have nets or drapes for comfort. They’re great for meal spots, tubs, or yard parties.
Feidao Pick: Our Any-Weather Hard Gazebo with a strong frame & air roof.
4. Shade Sails
Best for: Odd layouts, new style, and changing setups.
Made with tight cloth, shade sails offer cool style & great UV block. They work well over odd spots & can change in look & tilt.
Feidao Pick: UV-Safe Triangle Sail—new, lets air in, made to last.
How to Pick the Right
Picking isn’t just about looks. Think about how you’ll use your spot & what cover you need. Ask:
- How much sun do I want to block? All (gazebo) or some (pergola)?
- Do I need it to be easy to move? Umbrellas & sails can move.
- What can I spend? Costs vary a lot by type & size.
- Do I want it there long or short? Think on how hard it is to set up & if you rent or own your spot.
- How does it look with my seats? Pick a shade that fits your yard, seats & tables.
Don’t Skip Seats
A fine shade sets it up—but snug, sleek seats make it live. Match your new shade with top yard sets from Feidao Furniture. If you need:
