Adding Shade to Your Pergola: How to Put Shade Cloth on Your Egy Gazebo
Pergolas are a great way to bring beauty and life to your outdoor space. Whether you choose a metal, wood, or vinyl pergola from Egy Gazebo, adding a shade cloth is a great way to protect your family and friends from the harsh Egyptian sun. When properly installed, shade cloth can also help keep your pergola in great condition for years to come. Here’s how to put shade on your Egy Gazebo pergola.
What You’ll Need
Before you begin, make sure you have the following materials:
- Shade cloth
- Tape measure
- Scissors or shears
- Staple gun
- Staples
- Eye and ear protection
Measuring and Cutting Shade Cloth
The first step is to measure the area of your pergola that you want to cover with shade cloth. Make sure to measure the length, width, and height of the area you want to cover. Once you have your measurements, you can cut your shade cloth to size. Make sure to use either scissors or shears and wear eye and ear protection while cutting to avoid any potential injury.
Attaching Shade Cloth to Pergola
Once your shade is cut to size, you can begin to attach it to your pergola. Start by stapling one edge of the shade to the top beam of the pergola and then work your way down, stretching the fabric as you go. Make sure to keep the fabric tight and secure it with staples every few inches.
Using Grommets
If you want to add a more polished look to your pergola, you can add grommets to the top of the shade. Grommets are metal rings that are inserted into the cloth. They provide a secure attachment point for the pergola’s support beams and also add an attractive finished look.
