Drawbacks of Movable Garden Shades

Despite the numerous advantages of movable garden shades, there are a few points to consider to ensure that you make an informed purchase decision:

• Higher cost: Movable garden shades are more expensive than fixed shades, due to the technology and motors used, especially in electric models (motorized).
• Limited resistance to extreme conditions: These shades are primarily designed to protect from the sun and light rain. Leaving them open during heavy storms, strong winds, or heavy snow could damage the arms and motor.
• Periodic cleaning: Movable garden shades require periodic cleaning to remove accumulated dirt from the fabric. Mechanical parts and motors may also need occasional technical maintenance to ensure smooth operation.
• Installation complexity: It is not recommended to install them yourself; they require a specialized team to ensure they are safely installed in your garden and the angles and motors are precisely adjusted.
• Manual shades are cheaper but may be tiring to use for larger areas, while electric shades offer complete comfort but increase the purchase cost and may require special electrical installations.

Although movable shades require special care, Venecia ‘s Outshades materials make maintenance easier and extend their lifespan. Let us help you choose the system that fits your budget and space with guaranteed full technical support. Contact us today for a full consultation on your outdoor space.

Golden Tips for Maintaining Your Movable Garden Shade for the Longest Time

Purchasing a movable garden shade is a smart investment, and to ensure it stays looking new and performs perfectly for years, here are the key care and maintenance guidelines:

1. Clean the shade 2-4 times annually using lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth.
2. Only use a soft brush to remove stubborn dirt.
3. Never close the shade while it’s wet, as this can cause mold and mildew growth. Make sure to reopen it on a sunny day to dry before folding it again.
4. The shades are designed for sun and light rain protection but should be closed immediately during strong winds, storms, or snow.
5. During cleaning, check for any signs of rust, and treat any small rust spots immediately before they worsen and impede the shade’s movement.
6. Trim nearby tree branches to prevent them from rubbing against the shade fabric or blocking its movement, as some plants can release chemicals that cause fabric wear over time.
7. Whether using the manual or electric system, avoid excessive force or rough operation. If you’re leaving the house for an extended period (like travel), make sure the shade is fully closed to ensure its safety.

Don’t leave your garden vulnerable to weather fluctuations. Enjoy it with Venecia ’s shades. Contact us today for a consultation and inspection for installing movable garden shades.
