Bonney Lake Outdoor Solar Shade Installation
Project Type: Dual Motorized Solar Shade System
Location: Bonney Lake, WA
Installation Time: One-day install
We recently completed a custom outdoor solar shade installation for a homeowner in Bonney Lake looking to improve patio privacy and sun protection. The project featured two Templar Motorized Shades designed to blend seamlessly with the home’s gray exterior. The chosen fabric—Nano 95 Shadow Texture—was selected for its soft finish and ability to filter sunlight while maintaining airflow and visibility.
With outdoor spaces becoming extensions of the home, this setup gives the homeowner greater comfort, control, and usability year-round. Whether relaxing solo or entertaining guests, the motorized shades offer shade on demand: no cords, no fuss.

- Location: Side deck facing adjacent home
- Dimensions: 8 ft. wide × 9 ft. tall
- Fabric: Nano 95 Shadow Texture
- Housing Color: White

This screen was installed specifically for privacy from neighboring homes. With the press of a button, the homeowner can shield their space without altering the open feel of the patio.
