Shade Selects are louvered roof systems made of durable aluminum that will never rust or rot.
-
They are designed to provide the protection of a patio cover, awning, or built in roof - with the freedom of a pergola as well.
-
Offered in both motorized and manual systems, the louvered roof system can be opened to let in light and air - and closed to keep out rain and harsh conditions.
-
The louvers can tilt open to angle of 130º and can tilt shut to 0º - any intermediate position can be maintained, allowing you to control the shade to light ratio and maximize your time sitting outdoors, enjoying your patioscape throughout the year.
Shade Selects address all the issues in one that alternatives attempt to solve.
-
A fixed roof can withstand the wind and rain—but on nice sunny days when you want to enjoy the natural sunlight (and natural heating), you are left wanting.
-
A canvas awning can partially protect from the rain, but it cannot withstand high winds and it is subject to sun rot.
-
An open vinyl pergola or lattice patio cover lets the sunshine in but leaves your patio space, deck, outdoor furniture, and entry pathways completely exposed to the rain.
-
Shade Selects allow you to easily adjust the angles of the louvers. This means on rainy days, you can convert the pergola into a roof, and on early summer mornings you can open the louvers and let the natural sunlight pour in. Enjoy the best of every option in one solution!
Year-round protection from the Idaho elements
The open and close feature isn’t the only thing that makes Shade Select louvered pergolas stand out. The versatility and durability throughout the seasons makes these especially ideal for Idaho. These patio covers divert rainfall onto your lawn or garden area, leaving your patio furnishings protected. Shade Selects are geo-located to take into account the wind ratings and snow loads within your region.
Rainfall
Shade Select pergolas are water tight — the greater the slope when installed, the better waterproofed the patio cover will be. Our project coordinators & install team will take this into account in the design & installation.
Wind rating
These patio covers are built to withstand at least 90 mph and can be engineered to withstand up to 120 mph. The average wind rating for patio covers in the United States is 90 mph, areas with 110+ mph wind ratings are hurricane areas located around the coasts.
Snow load
Our generic engineering is designed to hold up to 30 pounds psf (per square foot) of snow. These patio covers have been installed by our manufacturer for over 25 years and have even seen snow in the Swiss Alps! Valleywide has built them in places such as Aspen, Colorado, and Angoon, Alaska! Once the snow has melted from your patio cover, open your Shade Select to get back to enjoying the pleasant warm winter sun.
