“Thank you for the heavy duty sun shade. It works great. I have to say that was one of the best constructed items I’ve seen in a very long time. The online instruction video was THE best I’ve ever seen. It only took my wife and I a few hours to have it installed and working. It was a pleasure dealing with everyone at North Solar Screen throughout the process. You have a great team, and a fantastic product.”

Standard Electrical Motors

General Info about XQ5 and Somfy Motors

5 Year Warranty

Factory programs the remote to operate each shade. They do not set the top and bottom limit stops
Motors can be ordered on the right or left and plug into a grounded outlet
Hardwiring requires installing a shut-off switch for each motor to disconnect each separately from power should you need to reprogram
Motors are 120V and draw about 1.6 amps, operating temperature range is from 14 to 140 degrees F (-10 to 60 degrees C.)
There is no manual override
Order housing box to prevent water from shorting out the motor unless installing into water tight pocket
Create a drip loop to prevent water from running down the cord into the motor head and shorting out the motor.

XQ5 Premium Motor Controls

5 Year Warranty

The XQ5 premium motor is our standard outdoor shade motor. These are radio controlled with built in radio receiver. Best price point. If you need to reset the motor you will have to press a button on the motor head itself, so it’s not recommended for hard to reach areas.

Comes standard with an 8′ power cord (16′ or 32′ can be ordered). The power cord & plug come separate to cut to the appropriate length. XQ5 motor doesn’t have an antenna in the cord, so the cord can be cut as short as needed. It’s not recommended to put motors any closer together than 19″, instead place them on opposite ends.

Sun & Wind Sensor

Sensors automatically retract shades between 6-31 mph
Sensors plug into a grounded outlet, set limit stops with any XQ5 remote
Locate sensor at least 24” away from the motor and up to 30’ away
Requires the SOL one channel remote to turn sensor function on and off
When winds higher than your setting is sensed for a duration of 2 minutes, the shades automatically retract. Once winds have lowered below your setting for 20 minutes, you can control the shade with your remote.
Shades go down automatically 20 minutes after the wind stops, calculated from when the wind is reduced. If wind goes above your setting before the 20 minutes, it will require another 20 minutes before you or the sun sensor can lower the shade.

Wind Sensor

Sensors can automatically retract shades between 6-31 mph
Sensors plug into a grounded outlet
Locate sensor at least 24” away from the motor and up to 30’ away
Cord length is 96″
Set limit stops with any XQ5 remote
Best to have one wind sensor for each direction shades are facing because wind comes at them differently
When wind higher than your setting is sensed for a duration of 2 minutes, the shades will automatically retract. Once the wind speed has lowered to below your setting and has remained lower for 20 minutes, you will be able to control your shade with your remote.
Not recommended for metal areas like fully steel or aluminum pergolas with metal slat roof or metalized glass panels that radiate excessive heat.

Somfy Motor Controls

5 Year Warranty

Somfy is our upgraded motor, and is more expensive than our standard XQ5 Motor. Somfy motors can be reset from the remote, so it’s a better fit for hard to reach shades & second story applications. With the Somfy TaHoma™ shade motors can pair with a wide range of home automation systems.

Comes standard with a 9’ power cord (24′ can be ordered). Power cords & plugs come separate to cut to the appropriate length. Do not cut motor wires shorter than 18” as you will cut the antenna and seriously reduce the range of the remote. Motors can be butted up to share an outlet.

Shades will lower when wind higher than your setting is sensed for 2 minutes, or when enough light is sensed. It will retract when light dims because of nightfall, clouds, shadows trees etc
If sun sensor has lowered shade but wind exceeds your setting the wind sensor will override the sun sensor and raise the shade
Once wind is reduced to below your setting for 15 minutes with sun shining on the sensor, the shade will lower
Passing clouds could possibly raise and lower shade many times a day with the wind sensor also raising it for wind
You may disconnect the sun sensor and operate it manually, but you can’t disconnect the wind sensor as the shade will search for a signal from a disconnected wind sensor every hour and behave erratically

Rain & Sun Sensor

Construction

Grande Heavy Duty Construction

An outdoor shade should be retracted in windy conditions. Grande Shades have a 35 mph wind rating. Subjecting them to maximum wind load on a regular basis will cause them to wear out faster. Better to upgrade to the Citadel High Wind Zipper Track Shades. Shades must be mounted to the underside of a beam/ceiling or to the face of a beam/wall, and cannot be ‘end mounted.’ Installing within 3 miles of salt water is considered salty air and changes the

warrantyon metal parts, not the fabric or motors.

Rollers: 3 ¼” in diameter to prevent sagging of shades even 20′ wide.
Splines: Fabric is secured to the roller with a sturdy spline that runs the full width of the shade and is permanently affixed to the fabric so that it cannot slide out.
Fabric Cutbacks – The shade material is cut narrower than the roller: Exposed Roller-Crank, Housing Box-Crank, Housing Box-Motorized, Solar Motor with Housing, Solar Motor Exposed Roller & Exposed Roller-Motorized (only for shades completely protected from weather).
Metal components are made of corrosion resistant materials (powder coated aluminum, powder coated steel, stainless steel, or galvanized steel. If you are close to the sea “with salt air smog” where you can actually taste the salt air, spray off the cables, bottom bars, and all metal parts as you would ocean going boats, even the stainless-steel ones.
Weight bar: Polished marine grade stainless steel tubing 7/8” diameter with internal steel rod for extra weight. Hardened steel eyelets run up and down the stainless steel aircraft cable. This holds the shade in place without the need for tie down loops and is the preferred method of securing the shade in the wind. Cables come either 12′ or 16′ long. Let us know if you need them longer. Cable system should be mounted to the concrete floor with provided tie wire drives (cable anchors.)
1. External Bottom Bar Upgrade: Instead of the standard stainless steel bar, we recommend external bottom bar for areas with very salty air and little to no rain. Available in four colors, either round or square exterior bottom bar. **Ordering this part may add to the production time**
Cable Guide System: Shades ride up and down on sturdy cable guides which mount into the ground or onto a wall mounted cable bracket.
1. Low Profile Adjuster (Standard Equipment): Securely attached to the bracket or housing box, this low profile hardware tensions the stainless steel aircraft cables. Shade can be lowered to about 2 ½” from the floor. Swivel eyelets to reduce wear on cables and to allow cables to be mounted at a slight angle. Mount into stone, concrete, or wood with supplied cable anchor. When fully retracted, there will be 2” of shade fabric/weight bar that will still hang below the housing or bracket.) Cut cables to fit on site and secure to tie wire drive or eye bolt with the Simplex Cable Fastener
2. Wall Mount Cable Bracket (Optional Upgrade): Use if you need to mount the cable to the wall or post. Allows the shade to come down within 1 ¾” from where you mount it. Bracket protrudes 1″ from the mounting point, holds cable 3/4″ from the mounting point and is 2.5″ tall (including the nut & threads from the eyebolt). Bracket dimensions are 2″ h x 1″ w x 1″ d. Powder coated to match your housing box or shade brackets.
Housing Box: Powder coated extruded aluminum housings available in 8 colors. Used to hide and protect the roll (especially when motorizing). 5 ½” wide x 5 ½” tall
Crank Brackets: ‘Exposed Roll’ shades (with no housing) mount on sturdy brackets. Hardware is available in White, Dark Brown, or Desert Sand. Choice of crank gear side. Foot print of bracket is 3” x 4 ½”. Shade bracket protrudes from wall approximately 4 ½”.
Hand Brace: Each crank operated shade ORDER comes with ONE free properly sized hand brace. Move the hand brace from shade to shade to operate them. Comes in your choice of 3 colors. Available in 48″, 60″, 72″, 84″ and 96″ long, you may order extras for convenience. We recommend the top of the shade not be more than 136” from from where you are standing for crank operated.
You will need to supply your own Torx Screws for mounting your shades.

Overlapping Openings: If you want to overlap the opening it’s better to mount to the interior facing side so the force of the wind blows the shade fabric inward. You should still be cautious of the fabric rubbing against rough or solid surfaces. If you prefer to mount to the exterior side and overlap solid or rough surfaces, we recommend shimming out your brackets or housing box at least 2” to help alleviate potential fraying or premature wearing out of the material. If your header and sides are completely level we can also make the shade fabric the size of your opening width minus ½” to make up for irregularities. This covers your opening and minimizes the chance of damage to the material. Damage to the fabric or failure of the bottom pocket weld are not covered by warranty if you install with the fabric overlapping a solid surface (posts, walls, window frames, etc.).

How To Measure

How To Measure Outdoor Shades

Measuring Tips:

Use a steel tape measure – Do not use cloth
Measure to the nearest 1/8” – Never round up
Always give width before height – Measure in inches
Give us raw dimensions. Do not take your own deductions
If adjoining shades meet at a corner, let us know as one or both may need to be cut narrower to ensure they don’t conflict

Always feel free to call us for help and email us photos of where you want to install.

Opening Width

Measure Width (inches): Measure width at the top, middle and bottom. Give the narrowest dimension especially between any protruding trim, bolts etc

Please note: we don’t recommend overlapping fabric over columns when mounting from the exterior side of your structure as the wind could cause the shade to rub and wear out the fabric.

Opening Height

Measure Height (inches): Measure height from the top face or underside of the header beam to where you want the shade to drop.

For Crank operated shades we will also need to know the height from the ground to properly size a hand brace

How To Mount

Mounting Options

For more detailed installation instructions see our installation tab

Surface Mount (Face Mount)

The shade mounts to the surface or face above your opening on the interior or exterior of your structure

Minimum Height Required: 5 1/2” above opening*

Undermount (Ceiling Mount)

The shade mounts from the top down inside the frame of your structure.

Minimum Depth Required: 5 1/2″.

Must be flat, level and have no protrusions (trim or bolts) within your opening frame.

The housing box and bottom bar will be in your line of vision when shade is rolled up. Housing box is 5 1/2″ tall and bottom bar hangs down 2″ (see diagram below).

The bottom bar hangs below the housing box 2″ when shade is rolled all the way up

The housing box must to be mounted to a sound structure. Holes need to be drilled 2” from each end using two fasteners per side.

Mounting The Cables

Grande Shades ™ use a sturdy cable guide system that allow the shade to be positioned at any desired height without the need for tie downs.

These cables keep the shades wind worthy in gusts up to 35 mph.

Cables run plumb from the top of the shade to the bottom mount.

Floor mounted stainless steel cables come standard with your order, or you can upgrade to wall mounted cables.

**Solar shades CANNOT be mounted CLOSER THAN 2 FEET from a heat source**

Free Samples

Solar shades provide daytime privacy only. If you need nighttime privacy try the Blackout Grande material.

Darker colors provide sharper outward visibility and more heat rejection (outdoors only) than lighter colors.

Lighter colors allow in more natural light. The 3% and 5% openness are best for early morning and late afternoon blinding sun.

Testimonials From Our Customers

The chair is very nice. Solid and plush. Putting the chair legs on was easy. The seat is sturdy, which is good because I'm sure the cushion will soften with use. The color is exactly as shown in the pictures and exactly what I wanted. And they arrived quickly!

Rhonda Nikki
The part was received and the shower was installed. It works fine so far and looks great.
Thanks so much for your excellent customer service!

Rosemarie Maconi
Hands down, THE best shower system I have ever experienced. The rain shower is amazing with good pressure and coverage. The handheld is very comfortable and has great water pressure also. I can’t speak to the ease of installation, as my contractor handled it. But the end result is wonderful! Always willing to repurchase from companies who stand by their product.

Steve
We are very happy with the looks and the quality of this set. Dont expect luxury comfort, but it's the perfect amount of comfort for the price. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a decent patio set on a budget.

Gina Charlton
It arrived quickly and we have been using it for a couple of weeks now. It was quick and easy to assemble. My daughter loves the little sofa. It is so adorable! And the material is soft but seems strong.

Kim Cummings
Obsessed with our new dining area! Amazing chairs, they are well made and comfortable. The rivet design is beautiful and the legs are sturdy. I highly recommend these dining chairs to uplift your dining area's design.

5 budget ideas for creating shade on the site (and no sun!)

No time to read? Watch the video!

1 Canopy under a tree

A very beautiful and stylish place to relax can be made by buying a few meters of light-colored fabric. Sew a canopy of suitable length from it to fix it on a branch, and at the same time the fabric reached the ground. All you have to do is lay a blanket or carpet under the tree, fasten the edges of the canopy around the perimeter of your recreation area with some weights and enjoy the shade. If you use tulle, under such a canopy it will not be stuffy and dark. In addition, it is a good protection against mosquitoes.

Decorate the canopy to match the style of the house, garden furniture and plants around. Multi-colored cushions to sit on and handmade fabric garlands will do.

2 Climbing plants

Not a quick, but very beautiful and environmentally friendly way to create shade in the garden is to use climbing plants. You can stick several beams into the ground, connecting their tops with a fishing line. Plant ivy, roses or grapes at the base, they will grow, clinging first to the beams, and then to the fishing lines. Ivy grows faster than grapes, and in a year, under suitable conditions, it will spread from beam to beam, forming a green arbor with a good thick shadow.

You can stretch the lines, for example, from the house, garage or shed to the ground, then the green wall will be flat. Also, such plants are planted at the base of an already built gazebo, if it does not give enough shade.

3 Tall Plant Fence

You can add shade to your property with a tall fence. To do this, it is not necessary to build a fence, you can again resort to the help of plants. There are several inexpensive and fast growing shrubs that are planted around the perimeter if they want to quickly grow a dense and tall green hedge.

Suitable shrubs

Yellow locust. It grows up to 5 meters and blooms with fragrant yellow flowers in May.
Buddley David. It grows by 2.5 meters per year.
Black elder. Reaches from 3 to 4 meters.

Every spring, before the leaves appear, prune the branches to give the hedge a strict shape and prevent it from growing in breadth. In addition, regular shearing will make the hedge thicker.

Instagram: @kenigplants

4 Do-it-yourself gazebo

In order to build a gazebo with a roof, you need a lot of material and certain building skills. But you can go in a simpler and more economical way: assemble a frame from eight load-bearing beams. Further, a roof made of dense fabric is stretched between the beams. To do this, you can use fishing lines, curtain rods or thin boards, laying them crosswise.
