My husband and opted for sail shades which may be purchased on Amazon. The sails come in variety of sizes and colors. They are easy to install and give us the shade we need.

Pergola
 
If you live in The Villages, I don’t think pergolas are allowed..... better check about installing one.

I've seen many of them here in the Villages back yards near golf courses... :confused:

If you're looking to create shade inside a birdcage, you do not need ARC approval. That being said we have installed a gazebo and a motorized retractable awning.

Go on line to sam’s club. They have a metal roof. Comes in different sizes.
Call us if you would like to see it. We are in Linden Isles. South of 44.

Easy to hold onto, the like CYV concrete wall corners also.

They are allowed but in certain villa’s require ARC approval. In my district and in CYV you have to get approval. In CYV nothing can touch you’re neighbors house, if so you could be responsible for damage to there house. Plus it can’t be so close that the wind knocks it into house.

The only downside I have found is we have a little BAT that makes his home in it when it's closed so when I open it he ends up on TOP and isn't happy in the sun and flies off :D It was a lot cheaper than any of the other options.

At least he is small and is rather cute. Well, that is as bat's go.:icon_wink:
Great bug eater as well.

I checked out their website. Very cool. Do you have this at your home?

Lots of Pergolas in The Villages - and not just near the golf courses, nor just in Villas.

Sounds like the "cantilever's" win ~

Retractable awning
 
We have a retractable awning and I cannot think of a better shade solutions. Of course, it is costly.

Where did you get the cantilever umbrella and base? I've been looking for a decent one on Wayfair, but haven't bought one yet. I saw one at the local store, Leisure Living, but they were $2800!

Do you have to be on your toes to put that down, if it begins to be real breezy? We too are considering that or an awning.

We have one from Pergola Kings. Appreciate the shade it offers in the afternoon, but disappointed that we have to clean mildew off 1/yr.
