We have recently found an affordable source for beautiful, quality, shade curtains. These curtains can be installed on one, or all sides of your pergola. They are custom made to fit your pergola, and are available in several different colors. They are raised and lowered with a cord, just like indoor curtains.

Combining these curtains and an overhead canopy can make your pergola much more usable on hot, sunny days. They also add some privacy to your deck area.
