There are many choices when it comes to shading a terrace or garden. In this decorating section, patio, side, retractable, and box awnings have been discussed before, but vertical awnings have not yet been mentioned.
Vertical awnings offer a practical solution to protect outdoor spaces from sun, wind, and rain. A key advantage is their strong sun protection. Their design covers a sizable area, greatly reducing light entering the protected zone and helping maintain a comfortable temperature outdoors and nearby indoors as well.
They help keep spaces sheltered from sun and drafts, and they work to keep interiors cooler in summer and warmer in winter. By limiting light and heat, these shades can reduce the amount of energy needed to maintain a pleasant indoor climate.
Another benefit is their ability to shield against drafts and wind, which is especially helpful in coastal regions or areas with frequent breezes. This enables enjoyable outdoor time even on breezy days.
Though vertical awnings are not waterproof, they do provide protection from light rain and moisture. This makes them particularly useful in climates with unpredictable weather where rain can appear suddenly.
Vertical awnings also offer privacy outdoors. By enclosing the protected area, they create a friendly and secure environment while adding an aesthetic touch to any outdoor space. A wide range of designs and materials is available, making it easy to find options that fit various decorating styles.
At Leroy Merlin, vertical awnings are presented as practical garden shade solutions that balance functionality with aesthetics. The range includes options that can be installed without a fixed structure such as a pergola. Two color choices for a popular model include gray and cream white, offering versatility for different exterior styles.

These shade solutions are crafted to be easy to install and adaptable to different outdoor layouts. A common specification is a measuring option around a standard footprint such as 140 by 250 centimeters, with installation possible either on the ceiling or on a wall. The fabric is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, blocking the sun’s rays while maintaining a degree of visibility for occupant comfort. The crank mechanism allows height adjustment, and the box-style housing protects the fabric when the shade is reeled in.
Pricing for the gray version is around 89.99 euros, while the cream option sits near 96.99 euros. These figures reflect typical retail pricing for entry to mid range vertical awnings suitable for residential use. When choosing a vertical awning, consider the level of wind exposure and how often shade is needed during the day to optimize cost and utility.
The practical design of vertical awnings makes them suitable for a broad range of outdoor environments, from balconies to larger patios. They offer a stylish way to reduce heat gain, protect furniture, and create comfortable outdoor zones for dining, reading, or simply relaxing outdoors without excessive sunlight.
