A deck has got to be one of the best places to relax and unwind, irrespective of the time of year. The majority of decks will need some sort of shading device to protect their users from the harsh summer sun. In windy areas, it can be difficult to find a shading solution that does not blow away or become damaged by the wind.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The priority for deck shading devices such as pergolas, awnings, shade sails, and umbrellas in windy areas is anchoring them to solid surfaces, keeping them in place. Heavier items are less affected by the wind, as are surfaces that allow the wind to pass through them without acting as a sail.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Naturally, certain shading devices are better suited to shady areas than others. However, most typical shading devices can be used in a windy area, provided you purchase the correct type. This means that the quality, strength, fixing, and design are all considered in windy conditions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It can be a real challenge to create a shaded environment on your windy deck. If you live near the ocean, you will most likely experience high winds. The same goes for if your home happens to be built on a higher floor. Surrounding buildings also tend to funnel airflow, potentially creating a wind tunnel<\/strong> that travels through your deck area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In all likelihood, you have gone through at least one umbrella that self-destructed at the first sign of wind. Many typical shading devices will act as a sail when the wind picks up<\/strong> due to their increased surface area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many shading devices can easily be damaged in windy conditions, so it\u2019s important to choose those designed with the wind in mind, or those that are at least strong enough to withstand the wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have a infographic that has some of the ideas for shading windy spots from this page for you to copy or share.
