Patio Tricks

Our backyard gets pounded by the afternoon sun.  We put up a gazebo to help shade, but the late afternoon sun still shines right in under it.  The summer started off cool and rainy, but it has really heated up, and it's hard to get out on the patio after it has baked all day.  So, we have been using a couple tricks to help.

Erica bought metal shower curtain hooks and curtain panels with grommets so we can block the sun.

And, we bought a fan.  Our friends have a fan on their patio.  Why didn't we think of that!?

Great Ideas. Looks like Zoey and Chris are enjoying the shade and cool air.
