The key to creating a good backyard design is incorporating elements that are not only beautiful but also functional. Homeowners in Guelph got the memo and enlisted the help of local contractors to renovate their outdoor space.
Knowing that they wanted shade, the homeowners reached out to ShadeFX in the early stages of construction. Our Product Specialist reviewed the plans with deck company Hickory Dickory Decks to ensure everything would work together.
“We have been working with ShadeFX for many years and they always deliver a quality product time after time. Their product is a great solution for anyone trying to add some shade to their backyard. Thanks, ShadeFX for always delivering for our clients.”

A large deck and pergola made of western red cedar wood were built off the back of the house, creating spaces for outdoor dining, sitting, lounging, and grilling.
ShadeFX manufactured a 14’x16’ retractable canopy in the cool Sunbrella Baycrest Pacific striped fabric. The Service Team visited the Guelph home to install the rope-operated canopy and C-channel stabilizers on the custom pergola.
“From the very start of the design process, we knew that we were dealing with the right organization. The entire process was very simple, and Daniel was a fantastic resource as we finalized the design, layout and fabric selection.
The product itself is top quality. It provides excellent shade over our deck and the added C-channels mean that even on very windy days there is minimal movement of the canopy. The design also does a great job of channeling water off the sides. Opening and closing with the rope mechanism is also quite easy.
Another thing I can now add is the ease of taking it down for the winter. It took my wife and I about 10 minutes total.
This is a premium product from a premium company, and I would strongly recommend ShadeFX to anyone looking for a canopy!”

The new deck is steps away from the homeowner’s custom pool ensuring that respite from the sun is always nearby. When the sun goes down and it is time to relax underneath the stars, the eco-friendly rope drive guarantees smooth operation when retracting the canopy.
