Life Under the Shade

Eclipse Shading Systems® – a Family Tradition

It’s time to get your outdoor spring-cleaning going, so you rake out the brush from around the shrubbery and wash the deck. Maybe you’ll give it a new coat of paint this year. Mostly what you’re thinking about while you get your extended outdoor living space ready for another season, is the conversation you had with your son the day he graduated from college. That conversation took place under the very awning you are hosing off and the fabric looks just as good now as it did then. You’re glad you purchased the high quality of an Eclipse shading product.

Outdoor Activities under the New Eclipse Retractable Awning

Since you had your Eclipse Shading Systems® awning installed, and the weather is getting warmer, you’ve had a couple nice family afternoons sitting on the back patio. Today, you find yourself longingly looking to outdoor activities and wishing you had time to relax alone on the porch. You figured that unless you were sick and staying home from work, you’d likely never find that alone time under the awning. Oh, but then you figured it out! You figured it out. You remembered that you have flexible hours at work and decided to adjust your schedule for the summer months. If […]

Spring Skiing & Eclipse Shading Systems® Sun Protection

In the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, reflection off the snow and the overall intensity of the sun at high elevations calls for the innovative shading only available from Eclipse Shading Systems retractable awnings. When you go skiing, you are always up at the crack of dawn so that you can get those early morning runs in before the mountain gets too crowded. You also like to escape to some outdoor shading for sun protection while you relax for a few hours. So after some great morning skiing you head down on the gondola for some lunch and a good read […]

Shading your Small Office Building Reduces Indoor Temperatures

You transitioned to a new job last fall and work in a cozy small office building with a few other small companies. You loved the sun on winter afternoons because it warmed your office space, but now that spring is here, it’s getting a little too warm. Thoughts of the summer months without shading reminded you of the time the edge of your computer screen and the plastic lamp began to melt from the sun glare. It was on your mind to ask the boss about some shading for those days when you ran into a coworker coming back inside […]

The Art of Porch Sitting with Shading from your Eclipse Retractable Awning

You purchased your first home, a lovely little town house. There were a few remodeling issues on your list, but they could wait. Number one was to shade the front porch so you could relax outdoors and watch the scenery on the street. There’s not much of a back yard, but the woods is right behind the back windows so it’s shady and cool in the kitchen on sunny days, but the living room was just too hot and you wanted to use your front porch, so you called your local Eclipse Shading Systems® dealership. Lots of people walk up […]

Fall in Love under Eclipse Shading from Queen City Awning

You are a believer in a smart cocktail after a hard workweek so you take your stylish self in your very high heels to the tiny corner café near your home to chill for an hour and take your mind from a hectic schedule to a relaxing weekend. Sitting on the deck of the café, kicking off your shoes, enjoying your martini, and staying cool under the café’s Eclipse retractable awning is your Friday afternoon ritual. You only work half days on Fridays so stopping by the shaded outdoor café gives you the feeling of a mini vacation. Little did […]
