Must-Have Shade Solutions for Your Backyard

Shade solutions for your backyard this season with Augustus & Carolina

Spring is here in Myrtle Beach, which means more time to enjoy the beautiful outdoor weather after a long winter. There’s nothing better than enjoying your outdoor space—until the heat becomes too much to handle. If you want to relax in comfort without worrying about harsh sun rays, investing in stylish and functional shade solutions for your backyard is the key. Whether you’re creating a cozy lounging area, a shaded dining space, or the ultimate backyard retreat, here are a few must-have options to keep your space cool and sophisticated.

1. Paramount Series Smart Umbrella

Not all umbrellas are created equal, and the Paramount Series Smart Umbrella proves that shade can be both stylish and smart. These high-end umbrellas go beyond basic sun protection—they feature built-in LED lighting, Bluetooth speakers, and even solar charging options, making them perfect for day-to-night outdoor enjoyment. Designed to complement luxury patio furniture, these umbrellas provide ample shade while enhancing the overall ambiance of your outdoor space. The best part? When the weather gets too crazy here on the beach, the Smart Umbrella automatically retracts to prevent any damages.

  • Adjustable positioning for optimal shade
  • Four stunning colors to match your style
  • Smart features for added convenience
  • Durable, weather-resistant materials

2. Bed Swings

For those who love to lounge in style, a Charleston Bed Swing is the perfect addition to a shaded patio or porch. Crafted for relaxation, these suspended daybeds offer the ultimate place to unwind. To make it an even better shade solution for your backyard, install it under a pergola to create a cool, shaded retreat where you can nap, read, or enjoy a gentle breeze.

  • Handcrafted Southern charm and elegance
  • Spacious, cushioned seating for ultimate comfort
  • Perfect for covered patios or shaded garden areas

If you want shade when you need it and open skies when you don’t, a retractable awning is a game-changer. These motorized awnings provide instant shade over patios, decks, and poolside seating areas, making them ideal for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. With a variety of fabric choices and customizable sizes, they blend seamlessly with luxury outdoor furniture while offering protection from the sun’s intensity.
