30 Wellsprings of Shade on Parade

Shade is our paradise,
our Elysium,
our ideal state of happiness.

A wellspring of healing; Shade provides us with a place to hang our hat, bidding us to stay. Without cooling shade to screen us from the beaming vertical sun, the beauties that surround us cannot be fully enjoyed. These were the timeless sentiments of Americas’ Architect, Thomas Jefferson on the importance of providing places of shade for America.

The shadiness of a timber pergola brings ultimate outdoor comfort, screening the direct sunlight. The standard sun to shade ratio for most ShadeScape™ DIY Pergola Kits have more and closer together shade planks for an 85% sunlight-to-shade ratio. At 85% shade coverage, a standard ShadeScape™ Kit is comparative to the comfort of a shade tree.

A Design Manager at Western Timber Frame™ can calculate the amount of shade for the best sun to shade ratio throughout the day, months, seasons for the most comfort year-round.

Wood has its built-in natural thermostat. Just like a tree, the larger the dimensional scale of the wood the better it can regulate a thermal equilibrium for an amelioration of temperature. This perfect balance of comfort is found in timber and not in any other alternative shade material.

An architectural DIY ShadeScape™ shelter kit such as an awning, arbor, cabana, gazebo, pavilion or pergolas is a fast, permanent shade solution. The ShadeScape™ dovetailed engineered design is the best for permanence, speed, and comfort that generations from now can still enjoy its beauty and protection in the refreshing health of the outdoors, any and every day.
