Slide on Wire Project - Backyard Oasis


Our clients were moving into a new home and wanted to create a beautiful backyard sanctuary. The problem was, the old umbrella they had over their patio table just wasn't cutting it!

These new homeowners decided they liked the idea of a slide on wire system for the yard. It offered them the versatility to retract the awnings when they didn't need it while still giving sun protection for when they did. The only issue was, they had nothing to attach the awning to.

​We suggested building a freestanding frame which they loved. As a full service awning contractor we were able to build them a custom welded steel framework for their project.

​

​Our clients decided to use a mesh fabric like the one you see here. The beauty of this mesh is that it looks like a woven fabric when in fact it is a PVC canvas that is highly durable, mildew resistant, stain resistant, fade resistant and easily cleanable. This particular mesh offers UV protection while still allowing light to penetrate through giving the patio a light, airy quality.


Retracting their slide on wire system is easy - no motors or electricity needed to add shade, or sunshine.

Once everything was installed they were in love with what their patio had become: a backyard oasis perfect for family gatherings, BBQ's, or just somewhere to enjoy a cup of coffee on a sunny morning.
