Guaranteeing a return value on investment in your home is not easy. Many of the projects are very costly, with risks of overrunning budget limits. It is often better to start small, perhaps by renovating existing parts of the house, rather than plunging into a gigantic, consuming project. Rather than renewing or renovating existing parts of the home, another way to add value to the home is to add more structure to a home.

Structural addition is often very expensive because of the extensive modifications that take place for the existing building, as well as creation of new materials. It also demands a real investment in labor, whether for the homeowner and his or her friends, or for the contractors who are hired for the job. A smaller structure is more manageable.

A smaller structural addition we will consider here are all the products that are grouped under the category of outdoor shades. One of the benefits of these shades is that they are a compromise between interior and exterior improvements. Outdoor shades are strictly built on the exterior premises and should complement the yardscape, yet they add more livable space for the residents of the house who can now spend time outside without fear of excess sun or rain exposure.

The following are some of the most popular outdoor shades used by people for adding usable space and increasing the value of a home.

Canopies are tent-like structures. There are two parts to the tent-like configuration of a canopy: a metallic scaffolding and a piece of canopy material that is stretched over it. The shading fabric almost always is affixed over the roofing to shield against direct sunlight but the side-walls may be omitted. Side-walls hamper air circulation, but such problems can be remedied by ensuring presence of window flaps and opposing entrances to the canopy.

An exterior awning can be thought of as a permanent shade, the attachment location usually being over a window or entrance. Residential awnings have seen a wave of technological advancement in recent decades. One can purchase motorized and retractable awnings that are responsive to remote control. The low end awnings are configured with retraction mechanism in a hand-powered set-up, manipulated by a lever or lateral-arm set-up. Pricier awnings are configured with motorized retraction.

Pergolas are a special sort of outside shade because they do not provide complete shading. They permit a bit of light. The design is fairly straightforward on paper but needs a fair amount hard work to set up. A number of posts are put into the floor which support a number of top slats. These overhead slats block out a bit but not all light. Miniature variants of pergolas are also available. They are sometimes termed arbors, and are less complicated to put together but cannot shade many people. Instead, they are guide posts for foot paths.
