National interest in the ShadeTree Canopies product continues to be on a tear, as PBS’ “For Your Home” performs a patio makeover for a skin cancer survivor.

Part 1: Some ShadeTree options

In clip one, the foundation for the patio makeover is laid as the mother-daughter host team of Vicki Payne and Sloan Rutter brainstorm creative ideas that will breathe life into an old and tired patio. Consider yourself forewarned, as ShadeTree Canopies President, Dwayne Williams, makes his on screen debut in this clip that describes a few different materials for the awnings.

Part 2: Getting Creative

In the second clip, Vicki provides a few interesting pruning tips that every green thumb should know, while Sloan gets wet and wild while installing a water pump for a Tuscan fountain. The ladies also create their own trellis to hide some ugly power boxes. Unfortunately, there is not much about ShadeTree Canopies and awnings in this clip.

The Finished Product

In clip 4, it’s party time. Vicki provides tips on how to grow an authentic Italian garden and soon thereafter bottled grapes are put to the test. Baker’s racks finally get their due, while Chef Randy is ready to cook up a few hearty meals underneath the ShadeTree Canopy and awnings as well.

What is the newest trend in staying cool this season? Pergolas.

The pergola boom is in full force, and is well documented in many magazines and periodicals across the country. In keeping up with the trend, Handy Magazine documented the ShadeTree Pergola in a beautiful three page spread. To view the Handy Magazine article click here

The pergola structure itself has been a hot commodity in the recent home improvement arena, but an even newer trend has evolved. The ShadeTree Canopies awning system has taken the pergola to the next level, by manufacturing canopies for the pergola system.
