Local context
Outdoor Sun Shades for Markham patios.
Markham patios deal with specific local conditions, and the right install accounts for them. West-facing decks across Cathedral, Wismer Commons, and Berczy Village catch hard 4 PM to 7 PM sun from May through September with little mature canopy on newer subdivisions. Older Unionville and Thornhill backyards are usually shaded by mature trees by late afternoon, so the brief there is more about UV than raw heat.
Most Markham installs are premium detached estate homes across Cathedral, Angus Glen, and Berczy Village with deep lots and full back walls open to motorized installs or mid to large suburban builds across Wismer Commons, Greensborough, and Cornell on standard subdivision lots, with the occasional larger covered patio or restaurant terrace. We measure on-site, build to your exact opening, and install in a half-day. Drive time from our shop to Markham is around 1h 30m. Installs typically schedule 3–4 weeks out.
Properties inside the Unionville Heritage Conservation District and the Markham Village Heritage Conservation District (which covers Vinegar Hill, the Markham Village core, and Mount Joy) need a Minor or Major Heritage Permit for visible exterior changes. We offer 5 stock and 1,800 custom frame colours, which usually matches what the heritage committee wants to see without a special variance.

Security, storm, or full-blackout? That's a different product.
