Made For The Shade

Attractive options let homeowners take shelter in style

 

POP ART  Inspired by the work of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, Markilux has debuted Pop-Art Edition awning covers in 10 bold colors and patterns. Crafted from the maker’s textured weave in Sunsilk fabric that has been treated for sun-, water- and light-resistance. markilux.com


VINTAGE STRIPE  SunSetter’s popular awnings come in a hand-cranked or remote-controlled, motorized version. The product can be installed onto any siding and is made of water-repellent, woven performance acrylic. Shown in Villa Stripe. sunsetter.com


VERY VERSATILE  Conceived by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba for Ethimo, the  powder-coated aluminum Eivissa pavilion sets the scene for a stylish al fresco soirée. Buyers can choose among a range of sizes, colors and options for flooring (teak or  stone-look ceramic) and roof style (fixed, louvered or polycarbonate). Sides of  woven rope, sliding glass or fabric (shown) complete the picture. ethimo.com


SLEEK STYLE  A steel frame supports the Sarasota Louvered Pergola from Backyard Discovery, which boasts a sleek, modern design. An easy-to-operate wand cranks the louvers open and shut; when they’re closed, rain is channeled through a drainage system in the posts. backyarddiscovery.com


SPACE SAVER  Its folding structure allows the MrX gazebo, designed by Marco Acerbis for Talenti, to open from two legs to four, creating a square, shaded area. Extruded-aluminum posts in a choice of graphite finishes support a weather-resistant canvas top. en.talentispa.com


THROW BACK   With mid-century style in mind, designer Vincent Van Duysen devised Kettal’s V Pavilion with aluminum louvers and a cantilevered canopy. Openings between columns can be customized with glass, louvers, curtains or solid panels. Climate-sensitive elements include solar panels and heat-insulation. kettal.com
