Outdoor Drapes are the Perfect Solution to an Outdoor Room

We are always excited to hear from our satisfied customers. Even more thrilling, is when we see photos of the finished product. Dean Dolce and his wife were looking for a way to be able enjoy their newly built outdoor room without being chased away from the sun, which would eventually work its way into ruining their outdoor dining experience.

Outdoor drapes were a fantastic solution. The Dolces chose Sunbrella Davidson Redwood fabric for their outdoor setting. These are durable and resilient materials that hold up against the elements. What makes them different? These high-performance fabrics are unique because they are made from solution dyed acrylic fibers. The fibers are colored all the way through, which allows the fabric to not fade, unlike most fabrics that are dyed just on top of the fibers. Sunbrella fabric comes with a five-year warranty against fading, staining, and mold growth. Sunbrella fabrics are easy to clean and provide lasting beauty to your home.

Besides the amazing performance, these outdoor fabrics are gorgeous and chic, and can be used indoors as curtains, cushions, and throw pillows. These outdoor drapes are quite the show stopper and certainly add elegance, style, and sophistication to the Dolce's outdoor space but you don't have to take my word for it. Here's their story.

By Dean Dolce

We, the three Dolces, Kate, Dean, our daughter Erin, and Shelby the golden retriever have lived in Brownstown, Mich., for the past 12 years. We were fortunate enough to move into a new home. However, our wonderful home has a backyard that gets full sun in the afternoon and evening. We would simply have to abandon the backyard and pool area every summer. For years we fretted over how to improve this sweltering situation. We spent a lot of time and money battling the sun, but not until recently has it all come together. This summer we decided to build an outdoor room in the backyard. The structure is great, but the sun was too much.

Then, I found OutdoorDrapes.com and was sold on the idea of using outdoor curtains. My wife and I ordered many samples that coordinated with the accessories on our patio. We chose a pattern, determined the size of the drapes and submitted our order.

Once the outdoor drapes were installed on our patio we could not have been happier. They have completely transformed the outdoor space. The drapes have brought an inviting presence to the area. I can honestly say we have an outdoor room because we use the space from morning until night.

I look forward to dinners with my family. Because we can adjust the drapes to block out the sun, we often chat long after dinner is done. Later in the evening, my wife will sit outside to enjoy the breeze and a good book. And, the view from the pool is amazing. The outdoor drapes really make the area look like a cabana found in an upscale resort. Plus, our neighbors and friends gave us rave reviews of our newest addition. The drapes really are the icing on the cake.
