Whether you’re looking to block harsh sun, reduce heat, or create a little extra privacy, our stylish shade solutions offer modern solutions with style and innovation. Edmonton summers are short—but oh so sweet. And when the sun is shining, there’s nothing better than relaxing on your deck or patio with a chilled drink and your favorite people. But when the heat gets intense or those afternoon rays hit just right (or wrong), the experience can go from dreamy to downright uncomfortable.
That’s where stylish and functional exterior window treatments come in. At Made in the Shade Edmonton West, we help homeowners transform patios, decks, pergolas, and porches into comfortable, shaded retreats.
We’ll Bring The Showroom To You! Our free in-home consultations make it easy to explore options, see fabric samples, and find the perfect solution—all without leaving home. Request a Free Consultation.
Why Invest in Exterior Shades or Awnings?

- Create Shade on Demand – Retractable awnings give you flexible coverage exactly when you need it.
