Add Extra Shade & Privacy With a Colorful Pergola Sun Shade
Outdoor pergola shades are a quick and easy way to create extra shade and protect against light rain. They also add a touch of color and breezy style to your pergola and outdoor space. For the outdoor or patio landscaping specialist, a pergola sun shade can customize your contemporary landscape designs for shading a garden, outdoor kitchen/dining area or pool deck.
A sun shade for a deck pergola can be a beautiful addition to your backyard, pool deck, patio or other outdoor garden area. At the same time, it provides excellent protection from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays and from light to medium rain. Much like a retractable awning, a shade sail for a pergola is a modern DIY way to:
- Add protection near a pool or playground
- Make a carport
- Create commercial spaces for a picnic area, open-air restaurant or community pool
Our pergola shade kits are made by hand using all high-quality, marine-grade materials, including:
- UV-stable, marine-grade threads
- Water-, soil- and stain-resistant fabric
- Reinforced webbing edges
- Stainless steel corner hardware and attachment hardware
Each pergola shade kit comes with a one-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship or damage to the shade sail kit sustained before delivery to you.

Pergola Sun Shade Sizes
Our pergola sun shade sizes range from small squares to large rectangles. We offer sizes in dimensions to fit our standard-size freestanding pergolas. Inside post-to-post measurements vary from 4’x4′ to 16’x16′.
For standard sizes listed on the website, select the Pergola Depot pergola size you are ordering, and the dimensions of the shade sail that corresponds to that size pergola will be listed. When fully installed, your outdoor pergola shade should measure approximately 10 to 12 inches smaller than the inside post on each corner. The turnbuckle at each corner may be tightened as needed due to the material’s stretch over time.
Pergola Sun Shade Hardware
Each pergola sun shade comes with:
- High-quality Polyfab Pro shade sail hardware
- 16 stainless steel lag bolts, 1/2″x2″
- 4 stainless steel turnbuckles: SolaMesh® Turnbuckle Jaw/Jaw Stainless Steel Type 316, 8mm (5/16″)
- 4 stainless steel corner brackets, 4″: Polyfab™ premium line of marine-grade AISI 316/304 stainless steel, zinc plated
- 4 stainless steel corner triangles: pre-sewn into the sail fabric
Pergola Sun Shade Colors and Fabric
We offer our pergola sun shades in a variety of colors in Polytex® fabric.
Polytex shade sail fabric delivers maximum protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays and utilizes the best UV stabilizers from BASF. Polytex fabric offers UVA and UVB protection greater than 95%.
Its high strength-to-weight ratio, UV performance and fire rating make Polytex the ideal choice for projects where shade and protection are desired. Durable and easy to clean, Polytex also provides good protection against wind, rain and hail.
